On multi hook rigs (3 hook flappers/clipped) I tend to keep the snoods short, usually 10 to 14 inches.
Up and over rigs, be that wish bone (for Plaice) or pennelled (for skate) the total length of snood will usually be around 4 feet.
Clip down pennell rigs, the snood is normally around 3 feet.
However:
If the tide is screaming through, I will use shorter snoods to help keep the bait nailed to the sea bed.
If there is no tide I will also use shorter snoods to prevent tangles.

Pulley rigs, which are awful at the best of times are never more than 36 inches in total length. If I am forced (because of conditions) into using a pulley, I find the shorter the overall length, the far better the hook up ratio is.
