SHIMANO Kairiki SX8 Mantis Green 300m Braid

SHIMANO Kairiki SX8 Mantis Green 300m Braid

A new generation Japanese braid

Made in Japan, the SHIMANO Kairiki SX8 Mantis Green 300m Braid is the direct evolution of the original Kairiki. It incorporates the exclusive VT Construction Method technology, an advanced braiding process that improves the compactness and uniformity of the fibres.

This design ensures a rounder and more uniform structure, reducing friction through the guides and optimising casting quality.

Maximum glide, distance and sensitivity

Thanks to its 8-strand structure made of high-performance PE fibres, the Kairiki SX8 offers a particularly smooth surface. This finish promotes:

• Increased casting distances
• Excellent sensitivity
• Optimal bite transmission
• Silent running through the guides

Its very low elasticity, below 3%, guarantees precise lure control and effective hook-setting, even at great distance or depth.

Freshwater and saltwater versatility

The SHIMANO Kairiki SX8 Mantis Green 300m Braid is designed to adapt to a wide range of techniques:

Shore or boat lure fishing

• Vertical fishing
• Jigging
• Freshwater and saltwater fishing

Its low water resistance makes it a particularly relevant choice for deep fishing requiring a fast sink rate and optimal control.

Mantis Green colour

The Mantis Green colour offers an excellent compromise between underwater discretion and above-water visibility, allowing better line tracking while remaining suited to clear environments.
