Braid Kairiki 8

The Kairiki 8 braid is a highly technical 8-support braid that uses an exclusive VT Construction tight weave to produce a smoother finish and reduced diameter. Perfect for all freshwater and saltwater applications, its smooth profile provides excellent casting and minimizes noise when passing through the rod guides under tension. If you're the type of angler who appreciates the significant benefits that using braid can bring, then Shimano premium Kairiki 8 braid is for you. Compared to many 8-carrier braids, the Kairiki 8 is noticeably smoother with a more rounded profile, resulting in longer, more accurate casts, increased sensitivity and reduced noise when fighting fish. Available in a wide range of diameters in high-visibility (Yellow, Mantis Green and Multi) and low-visibility (Steel Grey) colors, the Kairiki will take your fishing to a whole new level. The VT construction used to manufacture the Kairiki 8 combines the huit load-bearing strands under constant, even tension at several angles. This allows each strand to compress and sit perfectly next to adjacent strands, forming a more compact braid with a more rounded profile. The tighter weave reduces diameter, increases sensitivity and produces a smoother finish, all of which contribute to the high-performance characteristics of Shimano's flagship braid.
