Kairiki G5 – Sinking Braided Line with Additional Core

Kairiki G5 combines the characteristics of the classic Kairiki braided line with a sinking function. It consists of four carrier strands made from Japanese PE material and an additional high-density core. This construction makes the line less susceptible to wind and current influences.

The sinking properties of Kairiki G5 are especially suited for deeper-running lures, jigging, as well as carp and feeder fishing. The dense core breaks the surface tension and enables the line to sink slowly, resulting in more direct contact with the lure—particularly in windy conditions or when fishing at long distances.

The VT construction integrates four PE carrier strands with an additional heavy fiber. Uniform multi-angle tension creates a round and compact braid profile. This tight weave reduces the diameter and improves both sensitivity and surface smoothness.

Thanks to its design, Kairiki G5 offers a controlled sinking rate and a consistent structure that supports stable lure control and good feedback—even under challenging conditions in freshwater or saltwater environments.
