Kairiki 8 braid is a highly technical 8 carrier braid that uses an exclusive tight weave S-EBT (Shimano Enhanced Body Technology) to produce a smoother finish and reduced diameter. Perfect for all applications in both fresh and saltwater, the smooth profile casts extremely well and also minimises noise when running through the rod guides under tension. Short Description If you are the type of angler who appreciates the significant benefits that using braid can bring, them the premium rated Shimano Kairiki 8 braid is for you. Compared to many 8 carrier braids, the Kairiki 8 is noticeably smoother with a rounder profile, which results in longer more accurate casts, increased sensitivity and also reduces noise when playing fish. Available in a wide range of diameters in both high visibility (Yellow, Mantis Green and Multi) and low visibility (Steel Grey) colours, Kairiki will take your fishing to a completely new level. Mid-Length Description The S-EBT (Shimano Enhanced Body Technology) used to make Kairiki 8 combines the eight carrier strands together under a constant and even multi-angle tension. This enables each strand to compress and sit perfectly next to the adjacent strands, forming a more compact, rounder profile braid. The tighter weave results is reduced diameter, increased sensitivity and a smoother finish, which contributes to the high performance characteristics of Shimano’s leading braid.
