Kairiki 4 braid offers excellent value for money and uses an exclusive tight weave VT Construction Method to produce a smoother finish and reduced diameter. Perfect for all applications in both fresh and saltwater, the smooth profile casts extremely well and also minimises noise when running through the rod guides under tension.

If you are looking for a high quality braid that combines premium-like performance with excellent value for money, the Shimano Kairiki 4 braid is for you. Traditionally 4 carrier braids have lacked the performance of more expensive 8 carrier versions, but using the VT Construction Method Shimano has produced a tighter, smoother profile for the Kairiki 4, that you will certainly notice when fishing. Available in a wide range of diameters in both high visibility (Yellow, Mantis Green and Multi) and low visibility (Steel Grey) colours, Kairiki 4 is a great compromise between performance and cost.

The VT Construction Method used to make Kairiki 4 combines the 4 carrier strands together under a constant and even multi-angle tension. This enables each strand to compress and sit perfectly next to the adjacent strands, forming a more compact, rounder profile braid. The tighter weave results is reduced diameter, increased sensitivity and a smoother finish, which contributes to the improved performance characteristics of Shimano’s best value for money braid.
