2026 /27 Hamachi XOS GT'n'Doggie Expedition 7'6 8'2 & 10' Spinning/Threadline)
Hamachi
The 2026/27 Hamachi XOS GT’n’Doggie™ Expedition 3-Piece Popping & Spinning Blank is the latest evolution of one of our most popular series — completely rebuilt for 2026/27 with updated nano-carbon blank technology for higher tensile strength, longer casting distance, increased sensitivity, and even more pulling power.
Available in three lengths — 7’6", 8’2" and 10’0" — all three-piece for easy travel and storage. The 8’2" and 10’0" cover everything from PE3–5 all the way through to the monster-taming PE8–12, while the 7’6" is offered in a PE5–10 JDM specification or PE8–12 — giving you a power option to match any technique from light spinning to the heaviest popping and jigging.
Built primarily for popping, spinning, plugs and stick baits, this is the platform serious anglers reach for when chasing massive GT’s, Red Bass, Dogtooth Tuna, Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna and other beasts of the deep — capable of casting big poppers and baits an incredible distance, with the power in reserve to turn the biggest fish.
Hands down the best popping and spinning blank platform we’ve used — blowing the competition away for casting distance with big poppers, with the perfect action for twitching and blooping to get the most out of poppers and stick baits.
Built with all-day casting expeditions in mind, the Expedition blank is remarkably lightweight for its power. The latest taper combined with the best in nano materials ensures that during the fight, the pressure stays on the fish — not the angler. Simply put, this blank puts more pressure on the fish and less on you than anything else on the market.
All three lengths share the same look and finish — the 7’6", 8’2" and 10’0" are identical in appearance except for length.
