Kairiki 8 Braid – 8-Strand Braided Line with VT Construction

The Kairiki 8 Braid is a technically advanced 8-strand braided line manufactured with Shimano's exclusive VT construction. The tight weave results in a smooth surface and reduced diameter, making the line ideal for both freshwater and saltwater applications. The sleek profile enhances casting performance and reduces noise as it passes through the rod guides under tension.

For anglers looking to benefit from modern braided line technology, the Kairiki 8 Braid offers a balanced combination of roundness, sensitivity, and smooth operation. Compared to many conventional 8-strand lines, it is smoother and enables longer and more accurate casts. The line is available in various diameters and colors, including Yellow, Mantis Green, Multi, and Steel Grey.

The VT construction combines eight PE strands under consistent multi-angle tension. This causes the strands to lie tightly together, forming a round, compact braid. This dense weave reduces diameter, increases sensitivity, and ensures a consistent, smooth surface – ideal properties for demanding, high-performance fishing.
