Shimano Kairiki SX8 Braid Mantis Green 300m

Smooth, supple and sensitive

These keywords sum up the new Shimano Kairiki SX8
Braid. An eight carrier Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) PE
braid, its smooth finish means it creates less friction over rod
guides when cast and it slips through the water with reduced
resistance and thrumming on the retrieve or when trolled.

Kairiki SX8 is well behaved on the reel spool, with even lay and
less propensity to throw off annoying wind knots. Sensitivity is
brought into the manufacturing process by reducing overall stretch
and having less elongation than competitors’ brands. An exclusive
process that the raw material undergoes before braiding enhances
abrasion resistance, featuring Shimano’s enhanced body treatment
(S-EBT).

The line is then braided with less friction, retaining the
integrity of the material for fewer imperfections. This makes it a
tough line for use in difficult terrain. Available in 11 breaking
strains from 6 to 80lb on 150 metre spools at the lighter end and
300 metres from 20lb up, its neutral Mantis Green colour means it
is every bit at home in a western impoundment as it is on a trout
stream, or down in the estuaries and offshore.
