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.
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.
