I use 30's and they work fine..but I'd suggest a longer boom, at least on your kicker side. I've been thinking about getting one for 4 years grin

For setting gear, let your stuff out, use 60" releases, and dip your rod right under the clip in the water and pick it up, then lift so the clip laynard slides along the top of the rod right into your hand.
