Shimano Kairiki G5 Braided Line, Orange, 150m

Shimano Kairiki G5 Sinking Braid, Orange, 150m

Shimano Kairiki G5 is a sinking braided line made from Japanese IZANAS® PE fibers, a high-strength polyethylene. The IZANAS® fiber is approximately 8 times stronger than piano wire and has moderate stretch, offering an ideal balance of strength, sensitivity and control. The Kairiki G5 structure incorporates 4 braided PE strands with an additional super-dense core that provides sinking properties and stability in wind or current.

The line cuts through the water surface quickly, maintaining direct contact with the lure and eliminating unwanted loops. It’s ideal for deepwater lure fishing and jigging, providing superior control and accuracy at long range. It can also be used for carp and feeder fishing.

The VT Construction Method combines the 4 PE strands with a heavy sinking fiber under constant, multi-angle tension, compressing each strand to form a round, compact profile. The result is a dense braid with reduced diameter, increased sensitivity and a smooth surface, which enhances the overall performance of the Shimano Kairiki G5 braided line.
