Brandon Khoo:
That sums it up, Ross
You might have enormous difficulty finding a DJ83MH. I don't think any are scheduled for production.
Simon Bomholt:
they are possible to find

Mark Harris:
Yep, there are a few DJ83MH still around but not many.
I was just thinking the other day that if I could keep only one 1 of my Carpenter rods, it would be this one. A truly great all round GT rod.
Ross Dalzell:
Thanks lads, I take it the DJ83MH is worth grabbing ASAP?
Brandon Khoo:
Ross, my only caveat is something which I have emphasised in my guide to GT rods and that is to be just that little bit careful is rushing out to buy a rod which suits someone else. There is a GT rod out there to suit everyone but what suits you may not necessarily suit me and vice versa. Mark clearly loves the DJ83MH but I have to tell you that I don't have the same view of the rod. I have a DJ83MH somewhere but it has been so long since the rod has seen the water that I can't remember its last trip. He obviously likes it for its versatility whereas it is that versatility I don't like about it in that there are rods which are purpose specific that do specific tasks better. It's simple - the rod suits how he likes to fish but it doesn't fit in with how I like to fish.
