My concern is all that added reach required to set the line in the clip, etc. I'm already reaching plenty with the 24".

How do you with the 36" boom deal with the extra reach? Just seems like a lot.

Can one have too much down rigger boom?


The telespcoping booms with a #3025 weight retriever. Fish 'em fully extended with no inconvienence because of the leashes. Cross your cables in a turn in the current or saw a cable off in the kicker and you'll wish you had 'em. Long booms are especially helpfull when forced to fish with excess of 100ft of cable.

(Like what Charles said.)
