Shimano needs no introduction. The Japanese manufacturer's products are trusted by anglers all over the world - rods, reels, lures, accessories - and the Kairiki 8 braid is no exception.

Solid Braid for Every Situation

The Shimano Kairiki 8 has been thoroughly redesigned and improved. Made in Japan, this line is built from eight PE strands using Shimano's VT braiding process, which produces an exceptionally tight, smooth construction. The result is a line that shoots off the spool cleanly, giving you long, effortless casts in any situation. Thanks to its very smooth surface, noise through the rings is kept to a minimum - a real advantage on heavily fished waters. With less than three per cent stretch, the Kairiki 8 gives you a direct, sensitive connection to your lure and the fish. It is available in diameters from 0.06 to 0.28 mm with breaking strains from 5.3 to 29.3 kg, in a striking Yellow and a subtle Mantis-Green. A great all-round braid for predator fishing - and it runs perfectly on any fixed spool reel, not just Shimano's own.

Kairiki 8 / 150 m Steel Gray / 0.10 mm / 6.5 kg

Price/performance is definitely right here. I have the string in many different thicknesses for the BC, as the string is a bit stiffer and therefore behaves great on the BC without being so loud. The load capacity matches the cord thickness and the string is great to knot with the leader.

Kairiki 8 / 150 m Steel Gray / 0.23 mm / 22.5 kg

Elegant line that brings you your target fish For me, it is pike that I will conquer with this strong and pleasant line to fish.
