Depending on where your riggers are mounted, getting the booms way out further makes cornering a bit easier - lower risk of getting a line in your prop. Sure, you still don't want to corner too tight, but if you got 'em why not use 'em!I’ve never seen the need to run your booms stuck way out anyways. I know some guys do it when they are running deep but really how much difference can it make when those lines are out 200’. Like how can an extra 15 or 20“ 200’ away make, none that my common sense tells me. That’s why I like the finned weights. I just put the slightest little bend in the fins and have them pulling out from each other. In all my years I’ve crossed my downrigger lines once.
