Bugs biting hard come to mind Mr Cahill
.
For me:
Chugger rod - Carpenter MH80H as I don't fish really big chuggers (170 grams +) too often.
Stickbait rod - Carpenter Endless Passion 82/38.
If only one rod, I would agree with Jon - DJ83MH.
These things are very personal though John. Having seen the way you fish, I reckon MH80H would be fine for you. For stickbaits maybe a shorter rod like Coral Viper 79/40.
And just so you know, that green and gold custom rod you have used and purred about many times is a Carpenter SP80M.
