Shimano Kairiki SX8 Braid Steel Gray 300m 80lb

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.

The 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.
