Description
Kairiki 4 braid offers an excellent price-to-quality ratio and uses an exclusive dense-core VT construction method to achieve a smoother finish and reduced diameter. Ideal for all applications in both fresh and salt water, the smooth profile casts extremely well and minimizes noise when running through guides under tension.
If you’re looking for a quality braid that combines first-class performance with an excellent price-to-quality ratio, the Shimano Kairiki 4 braid is for you. Traditionally, the performance of 4-strand braid has been lower than more expensive 8-strand braid versions, but with the VT construction method, Shimano has created a denser and smoother profile for the Kairiki 4 that you will definitely notice while fishing. Kairiki 4 braid is available in a wide range of diameters in both highly visible (yellow, Mantis Green and Multi) and low visibility (steel gray) colors and is an excellent compromise between performance and price.
The VT construction method used to make Kairiki 4 braid combines 4 carrier threads under continuous and uniform multi-angle tension. This allows each braid to compress and sit perfectly adjacent to other braids, forming a braid with a more compact and rounder profile. The tighter weave reduces diameter, increases sensitivity and provides a smoother finish, contributing to the better performance characteristics of Shimano’s best price-to-quality ratio braid.
