Hi Simon,
I bought my first rod, a DJ83MH, for the exact same reason as you, fishing Bali and Lombok. As an allrounder I think you will find it hard to beat, a little lighter than the MH80 I think but it is a dream to use all day long on stickbaits to 170g and poppers to 150g.
If I had the choice again I would still buy the DJ83MH even after using the MH80 and the CV79, both of which are spectacular rods.
