Sea Fishing Booms

So what are sea fishing booms - Basically they fall into two categories

Boat Boom - for fixing leads to your line
There are many different types of boat booms on the market and each has been designed for the job in hand

These types of fishing booms are used to fix your lead weight to your line , they protect your fishing line and allow the line to move freely through the boom ( meaning when a fish strikes it only feels the line weight and not the lead )

It is always advisable to use a bead to protect your knot

Booms stand off
These are used to attach hook lengths to your mainline . They are designed to help reduces the hook length tangling with your mainline

Wrecking booms are up to 18 inches long and they are made to last and take heavy fish . Perfect for shads and jelly worms as the boom keeps clear of the mainline



Standard swivel booms
Used for flyers ect are short plastic booms and are good all rounders
