Kairiki 8 is a highly technical 8-strand braided PE line that utilizes VT Construction for a smoother finish and a thinner diameter. This makes it ideal for all applications in both freshwater and saltwater. The smooth profile casts extremely well and far, and minimizes noise when the line runs under tension through the guides, which also increases bite indication.
If you're looking for a supple, smooth line that allows you to make long, silent casts and provides excellent control over your lure or bait, then the premium SHIMANO Kairiki 8 is the perfect line for you. Compared to many 8-braids, Kairiki 8 is noticeably more supple with a rounder profile, resulting in longer, more accurate casts and greater sensitivity. Furthermore, Kairiki 8 is quieter as it runs through the guides. Kairiki is available in a wide range of diameters in both high-visibility (Orange, Mantis Green, and Multi) and low-visibility (Steel Gray) finishes and is suitable for a wide variety of fishing styles.
SHIMANO Enhanced Body Technology (S-EBT) construction combines the eight strands under constant and even multi-angle tension. This ensures that each strand is perfectly positioned next to its neighbors under tight compression, creating a denser braid with a rounder profile. The tighter braid results in a smaller diameter, greater sensitivity, and a smoother finish, contributing to improved performance. Ideal for fishing where casting performance and sensitivity are paramount.
