What ever those french wire ones are. Though i dont really use em!

Don't use them much if at all, clip down pulley rig I use for most of my fishing, though for short distance don't think you can beat a simple running ledger.

As you say, short distance casting for bass. i dont see the need for anything else but a running ledger. Booms are more a boat or pier fishing thing to use for me.
I do however often use a one up style rig these days.....just because when i used it once it caught, and again and again and the tangle sitch is always zero! ..........

For longer range casting i use this same set up but with a shorter snood bringing the bait above the weight. This can obviously clipped down if needed

I was thinking more of a boat thing.
I normally use small tubes but dont normally have much lead on 3Oz.
I was thinking what the prefered method was for more lead, 12Oz - 1Lb ish.

We use red zip booms for weights up to 2lb. 7.99 for 100 from seafishinggear.com

Always use French booms for boating. Favourite for shore work is those little nylon ones (Breakaway I believe) they work well at reducing tangling on two hook clipped down rigs.

i prefer the ashpole,but do use the red zips sometimes. i dont think that it makes any differance for this type of fishing, so the zips will save doe.
