Hi Mark ,

DJ83MH and it's sibling DJ83ML will be available in the 3rd quarter of 2012 , it's still the longest most popular Carpenter rods in production todate .

Jon .

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.

Mark Harris:
Great to hear that Jon.

I guess the series is not being phased out because of the similarity with newer Monster Hunter blank?

The fact the the DJs have been around so long when other Carpenter models have come and gone, is great testimony to just how good they are.

Christoffer Hansen:
The djs are available at several online stores, not site sponsors. Mark how can you recommend at rf82lc. It's not even a carpenter!

Mark Harris:
Yep Chris, there are a few DJ83MH around the tracks in different stores. I guess left over from the last production which I think was a while ago now. It is good to know from Jon that this superb rod will remain in production for at least one more run.

LOL @ RF comment. It does all get a bit Carpenter-centric sometimes :) . I happen to really like the GT82, and thinking about it, this is just about the only non-Carpenter popping rod I use these days.

Christoffer Hansen:
Mark,
If the 82lc is the only non carpenter rod your using these days I suggest you buy more rods! There are plenty of great rods coming out from other manufacturers that don't even get a mention anymore. My last purchase was a Fcl 81ext mh. A pe10 stickbait rod that weighs 370g and has a drag rating of 17kg! I haven't fished it yet but will post a review of this as soon as I do.
The synit you mention Glenn is another awesome rod and will do everything your after very well plus heaps of power to fish beyond pe8 if needed.
Chris
