2026 / 27 Hamachi XOS GT'n'Doggie Ultra Long Cast 3 Piece Popper & Spinning Rod (7'6 & 9'6))
Hamachi
The 2026/27 Hamachi XOS GT’n’Doggie™ Ultra Long Cast (ULC) — JDM Edition is the latest version of a rod we’ve been carrying for nearly 20 years. Three pieces. Insane casting distance. Packed down to just 82cm (32") for the 7’6" and 101cm (40") for the 9’6". Rebuilt for 2026/27 with the latest nano-carbon technology for improvements across the board — longer and more accurate casting, increased lifting power, and higher sensitivity — all backed by Hamachi’s Worldwide Lifetime Warranty.
The ULC versions blow the competition away for casting distance with poppers and stick baits. The tip has the perfect action for twitching and blooping to extract the best from any surface lure, and the latest nano-carbon taper ensures the pressure is transferred to fighting the fish, not the angler — we can put more fish-stopping pressure on one of these than many high-leverage jig sticks of similar ratings. If you chase Giant Trevally, Red Bass, Dogtooth Tuna, Bluefin or Yellowfin Tuna, Tarpon, Queenfish or medium pelagics on surface and cast lures, this is the rod for the job.
Two lengths, two line classes. The 7’6" is built for boat fishing and rock platforms with limited backcast room. The 9’6" is the land-based weapon — maximum leverage for shore, beach, and rock fishing where casting distance wins. Both models pair with a 3500–7500 size spinning reel and cover 10–40lb braid. Choose PE 1–2 for lighter lures and finesse presentations, or PE 2–4 for heavier surface iron and bigger fish.
