Hi Andre,
That DJ83MH of yours , did you get it from Mark The Photographer ?
Jon .
Hi Jon,
I did indeed mate... many a lucky angler has been the benficiary of Mark's unfortunate shoulder injury as he is a man with impeccable taste in tackle, and always bought pretty much 99% of his tackle in 2's, kept it in superb condition, and then when he did sell it, he sold it at fantastic prices... I've never seen anything of his on a forum last more than an hour...
I also scored in that deal as Fed Ex took 2 weeks to deliver the rod, instead of 3 days, so I was refunded the $120 USD odd shipping as well, and managed to sneak it through customs with only paying about $20 in duty... absolute score of note...
Just a quick question for you Jon, does the DJ83MH come standard with an aluminium gimbal butt on it? Or normally with just a Cap? Mine has an Aluminium Gimbal butt, which I think Mark might have fitted....
Mark - Yeah mate, I've been thinking about that CV 79/40.... I'm keen on a dedicated Stickbait rod though, I'm not sure if this is the right stick... there have been so many releases, TBL, CV, and now the Endless Passion range, I've not really kept up...
Jon care to chime in here? Looking for a dedicated Stickbait rod for GT's, so lures from 120 up to 200 grams...
As to the bling.... I love Carpenters "no-nonsense" look and feel.... don't get me wrong, I love my bling tackle, and have a fair share of it on alot of other rods, but I like the stealth look of the Carpenters.... like I said, no nonsense.... I'll leave the bling to the lures and reels!!
