Kairiki 8 Braid – Braided Line with VT Construction

The Kairiki 8 Braid is a technically advanced 8-strand braided line with a tightly woven VT construction. It features a smooth surface and reduced diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of freshwater and saltwater applications. The uniform profile improves casting performance and reduces noise when passing through the rod guides.

Compared to many other 8-strand braided lines, the Kairiki 8 offers a smoother and rounder profile. This contributes to longer, more accurate casts and increased sensitivity while fishing. The line is available in various diameters and in Yellow, Mantis Green, Multi, and Steel Grey colors.

The VT construction binds eight carrier strands under consistent multi-angle tension. Each strand is compressed and lies closely against adjacent strands, creating a round and compact braid. The tight weave structure supports a reduced diameter, smooth surface, and enhanced feedback during fishing.
