Thanks for the reply mate.
Just so it's clear I'm not worried about the disturbance of the boats but the wash coming from them, and potentially moving my bait about.
Cheers

Evening all.
Has anybody here fished lakes with boats and water ski users?
It's a first for me and I'm wondering how far down the disturbance goes?
I'm hoping my 7ft spot isn't being washed out

See this is what I thought but my mate says something about where the reel sits and where the tip ends up after casting.

So I've just got a 13ft spot rod. My fishing rods are 12ft.
Is there any change in wrapping up. So for 25 wraps it will be 25 for all rods or does the 13ft spot rod need a little extra because of where the reel seat is?
Probably a simple answer but I'm confused lol

Thanks for the offer mate but I do like the sound of the free spirit rod being talked about.
Thanks for the advice guys

Thanks for the posts.
The fox rod I have was cheap but is like a broomstick, very hard to compress. I've never really had to hit over 100 yards consistently on any other water I've fished.
On a friends expensive free spirit rod I can cast 33 wraps. My fishing rods that are Harrison's I can cast with a bait up to 35.
I'm using the same reels that are on my fishing rod which are shimano ultegras and I have banana braid on my spod reel.
So yeah I need a rod that will compress easily enough. I know 100-120 yards isn't loads but you have to account for winds etc as it's a pretty big lake that I fish. I just can't afford to buy something top end at the moment.
Cheers

And not to expensive.
Currently using some fox rod but really struggles when at range with an medium spomb.
Looking for something that doesn't cost loads but would do the job.
Any suggestions, thanks

Real shame but it was always coming unfortunately. I definitely noticed a decrease in quality and an increase in advertisements.

I've always used Shimano as for me they always work and last years and years. Still using my old Ultegras and I even used the spare spools for about 3 years of beach fishing!
Not sure what the newer Ultegras are like but if I needed new reels they would always be Shimano. Hope this kinda helps
