Hi All

I am off to western australia next month on a road trip from Perth to Darwin. As you can imagine there should be some good fishing along the way!! but will only be taking 1 rod. I will be casting stickbaits from 110 to 170 grams, and poppers from 120 to 150 grams. ideally i would like to pair it with my 10k stella and the jm spool loaded with Pe8, but also have a 18k stella.
3 rods i have been looking at, that i think could do the job nicely.
Hots Gipang 83H
FCL Labo 81 Extreme MH
Synit Topshot Gt
Any recommendations on these rods would be appreciated, and if any one else would like to add to this please do.

Cheers

Carpenter DJ83MH! Enough rod to work all those lures with no problems and long enough to use shore based as well.
I have one and I love it to death.

Carpenter Coral Viper CV79/40

Poor bugger...  Perth to Darwin and you're only taking 1 rod  :o  :-[ :-[

Unlikely you will be able to find a DJ83MH - otherwise that is a perfect recommendation from Ben.  It will be interesting to see if Carpenter ever make many of these again or if it becomes a discontinued classic.

Ripple Fisher GT82 would also be a decent choice for those specs.
