I soak it over night normally but I think even a couple of hours would be fine. 

Dont ya love it when that happens! 

Only the once and can’t really comment as my surface fishing isnt really up to much 😂 I can tell you that a 10ft Scope can bring in a Canada goose flapping and squawking though 

Well I use my nash scope 10ft rods as my every day rods and also have the 6ft scopes as short session/river/canal/stalking rods, I can’t fault them in anyway, they pack down microscopically small and seem to be extremely strong capable rods, I used to use the dwarf 6ft rod(cheaper option) again extremely capable rod. 
 
But in answer to your our question I can’t see any reason that a 9ft rod wouldn’t be suitable for stalking 

Ok mate no problem

nah, he's serious bud.
either that or a serious case of dementia, knowing how old he is i would say the latter
 

I would have to agree with Yonny on this, greys aren't the brand they used to be and i dream of owning a set of Harrison Aviators in full cork....drooling...

cheeky sod! your thinking of suffolk 

For that kind of money you can get much better than Greys imo mate. Have a look at Harrison and Free Spirit, or maybe even Century if you're feeling really flush.

I wouldn't go anywhere near anything marketed as "A stripped out ultra light Special Forces edition" buddy. It's aimed at kids that don't know what they're spending their hard-earned on imo.
Have a look at Dymag Mobile System and their 9 ft rods. Really good gear.

Can see i am going to have a laugh in here .

Norfolk. Suffolk. It's all the same.
Who really gives a folk???

Ranworth has come up several times in conversation with friends. I have seen an image of a mid double common that supposedly came from Ranworth broad but the person who showed me the photograph was how do i say.... known for spinning a good yarn so it could of come from anywhere really but yeah, im sure they are in there.

Hi Ant, welcome to the forum. 

haha!! Hi 6
take no notice of the Bants Ant, welcome to the forum

Welcome to the site..
From Norfolk eh??? Give me 6 bro.

Sorry to hear that fella. As spr1985 said I think it really comes down to training a close friend of mine takes his Golden lab with him but they tend to be fairly docile by nature. 

Yes indeed that's my little girl she's alot bigger than that now though! that photo was last year. and yes she is going to be the next terry hearn....( female version)

Enjoy every minute mate

Welcome to the forum, I take it that's a new addition to your family and future angler in your avatar?

Certainly does! good ol Naarfolk 

29lb!!!! First fish this year!!! Well made up!!

I'll kick this one off. Seems like we have all had a rough time of it lately!
After 5 blank nights over December I was out for a day session on Saturday and about 20mins after dropping a snowman hookbait a rod length off the dam wall I landed this mid double. I did absolutely ruin the pics, probably out of practice or due to the cold. Not that it matters really.

Naarfolk has some good waters around, and The Wensum and Yare have a few surprises in them.
