The Shimano Kairiki 8 is a renewed 8 carrier braid which is produced in Japan and now features a “VT construction Method” braiding technology.

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.
