Kairiki 8 from Shimano adopts the new VT construction braiding technology. Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process.
During the VT Construction Method, the braid fibre is woven evenly at all angles – resulting in a smoother finish and reduced diameter. The casting performance of the line is significantly improved as the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides and cast noise is also reduced.
The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity achieved through the lower stretch. These attributes make Kairiki 8 an excellent choice when high sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your target species.
Key Features
The 8 times braided line Shimano Kairiki 8 was revised and improved.
VT Construction Method
Very strong and smooth PE line that is perfect for casting long distances.
It has the perfect properties for both freshwater and saltwater spinning, as it is very sensitive and smooth, which also greatly reduces noise.
Due to its smoothness and small diameter, the new Kairiki 8 is a great jigging line as it has low water resistance and is very sensitive due to its maximum elongation of <3.0%.
