Go with the long booms, first off the can get you away from the boat a bit more and help from getting gear wrapped together even more so with turns, next they help with the electlrolic (s/p) beer from yor boat. 3 of 4 fish with 3 DR's come off the 60" booms. Spend the extra couple bucks and don't forget to check barrys bait in B.C, hope this helps
