I bought the 50lb Kairiki 8 Braid for my Penn Slammer 6500HS as I needed to top up & replace last year old braid. The 300m, 50lb goes on underneath and the removed braid goes over the top. The 6500HS Slammer needed around 420m. The Kairiki 8 is similar to the J-Braid offer by Daiwa. Kairiki Japanese premium braid lines always work.

I bought this Shimano fishing braid a month ago thinking it was going to live up to the great quality of Shimano products but sadly after one day of fishing with it I was so disappoint, I'm a die hard Shimano fisherman with most of my rods and reels being from Shimano. but after a day of catching fish and trees I noticed when I got home that the braid had changed, I belive it must of been from the pressure of pulling my kayak into the trees to retrieve the snag, but it seems like the line got streched out and as a result got smaller for the first 10 meters, maybe it's discolloured or something. but quite dissapointed. It's the best braid for casting but doesn't last a day!!! I still use it here and there for bream fishing but just dissapointed it shape ... MoreI bought this Shimano fishing braid a month ago thinking it was going to live up to the great quality of Shimano products but sadly after one day of fishing with it I was so disappoint, I'm a die hard Shimano fisherman with most of my rods and reels being from Shimano. but after a day of catching fish and trees I noticed when I got home that the braid had changed, I belive it must of been from the pressure of pulling my kayak into the trees to retrieve the snag, but it seems like the line got streched out and as a result got smaller for the first 10 meters, maybe it's discolloured or something. but quite dissapointed.

I don’t know if I got a bad batch but this braid is by far the worst I’ve ever used. Brand new, out of the box, my knots would snap when I tightened them 60% of the time and the icing on the cake was when a $25 lure went sailing off in the distance after casting it, with about 10 metres of line trailing behind it (no, the bail arm didn’t flick over). I’ve never heard of that happening before with new line.On the upside, I didn’t catch a fish ‘cause for sure I would have lost it anyway.I would only recommend this braid to competitors in a fishing comp.

By far the best braid for price I’ve used. Very thin diameter, bites down into fluro carbon well so that FG knots won’t skip. Haven’t had a single issue with wind knots. Highly recommend.
I'm a beginner so I don't have much basis of comparison. Reading reviews, this seems to be a high quality braid and certainly, I've had zero problems with it. I'm happy with this purchase and certainly can recommend it others. It's not the cheapest line and probably more than what I need, but at my age (started fishing in my 40s), I don't want to faff around with the limited free time that I have!
I am very impressed with this range of braids. I have the 40lb and bow the 80lb, and they do not dissappoint. They both routinely handle fish in excess of their rated break strength. Would buy again
Strong and fine line that fits on spool well. The problem being in windy conditions the line knots very easy when casting light lures. Experimented with different leader weights and lengths to no avail. Expected better from Shimano. Will be going back to Berkley.
I bought the line and I regretted buying it after the first cast. The line wind knotted on the first cast and there was no wind. It also knots tying on a jig head! It knotted during a trevally bust up and I missed the catch! The line has also lost its colour after one day of fishing.... serious DONT BUY THIS LINE! The sales rep at BCF said the line is better than Fireline. I should have stayed on the Fireline & saved my money.
I bought a ton of these lines (30lb, 40lb and 50lb line rating) on clearance sale. Me and friends use these for surf and rock fishing purposes. So far very happy with performance. Line is strong and well visible for night fishing purpose. In one of the reels I had 30lb 150m line and when cast with a 10 ft rod the backing line becomes visible. I can easily assume the casts were over 100 meter each time.

Shimano Kairiki 8 Braid Line 150m Green 6lb
Re-introducing Kairiki 8 from Shimano, now adopting new "VT construction method" braiding technology and now available in this handy 150 metre line length. Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process. In the VT Construction Method, fibre is weaved evenly at all angles - resulting in a smoother finish, reduced diameter and a long cast. Additionally the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides, minimising cast noise and aids to a stealthier approach. The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity, resulting in low stretch. These attributes make Kairiki 8 an excellent choice for finesse fishing, casting lures and tying knots where smoothness, sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your next encounter.
