Shimano KAIRIKI 8 – Highest precision in every fibre.

The Shimano Kairiki 8 is a technologically advanced 8-strand braided high-performance line, impressing with maximum smoothness, quiet running and outstanding casting distances. Thanks to the innovative VT Construction Method, an extremely round, compact line profile with a particularly smooth surface is created – for a consistently strong performance in fresh and salt water.

The advantages of Kairiki 8 at a glance:

• 8-strand braided for maximum roundness and stability

• VT Construction Method: Braided under constant tension from multiple angles

• Extremely smooth surface: For quiet, friction-free gliding through the rings

• Better casting distances thanks to smaller diameter and optimized profile

• Suitable for fresh & salt water - universally applicable

• Top price-performance ratio for a premium main line

Compared to many conventional braided lines, the Kairiki 8 has a significantly rounder profile, making it run smoother, throw more precisely and easy to control even at a distance. The tighter weave provides more strength and abrasion resistance - ideal for demanding conditions.

Available in:

• Various diameters for every fishing technique
