Bit late to the party but Go Fish in takapuna has Gosen braid in 10 and 12 lb.

I have used it all winter and its probably the best performing braid I have used so far for micro jigs and softbaits.

Gosen W8 braid 300m PE 1 (12lb) dia 0.171 8 ply 4S process braid, soft and stiff which creates line tension to reduce slack line problem. Multi colour line 10m colours. Made in Japan ..]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2018 09:06:08 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126022&PID=1736089&title=extremely-light-braid#1736089 <![CDATA[Extremely light braid : Saw the new stuff coming from...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=126022&PID=1735829&title=extremely-light-braid#1735829 Author: Muppet

6lb breaking at 25lb haha yeah thats getting a bit silly. can understand why its not the braid of choice for what you are doing
might as well just make the one size and call it everything from 6 to 30..

flatties? bream?

The snapper and kingy fishing is definitely better over here but I have to say the aussies have it over us in the estuaries. especially when you get further north to where the barramundi are (pity about the crocs)

Hey team

Interesed in peoples thoughts on the new shimano Kairiki braid as have just bought a new 1-2kg setup with a 1000 reel and looking to run a nice thin 8 weave braid for extra touch. I was previously running 2-4kg rod w 2500 reel and 6lb 832 which was awesome but I see the Kairiki 6lb 8 weave is down to 0.08mm compared to the 0.14 of the 832. Was hoping to get some feedback from anyone's experience with the product.

Cheers in advance...


What does the Kairiki 6lb braid actually test at? I use and sell Tasline Elite All white series braid. The lightest they do is 8lb which is a 6 strand braid and has a ABS of 14.2 lb.
Awesome braid, very soft and thin for its BS (0.115mm)

I spooled up 150yards of the Kairiki and after using the 0.07mm kairiki for a while its fair to say it breaks at 6lb or not much over which is alright because using only a 1000 setup got to play the fish like a twelve string. It certainly adds a new level of difficulty and excitement but my hookup rate has increased exponentially due to having the extra touch. It is a combination of the line and the light rod but would highly recommend it however you do lose fish from time to time breaking at your uni knot after say 50 fish or from over tightening on the drag.


What rod are you using? we now sell carbon 8ft softbait rods that are very, very light and so sensitive that we can feel a fish fartLOLLOL

I am using a Daiwa Generation Black Instant Noodle 7ft 2 piece 1-2kg which I have matched with the new penn conflict 1000 bought from USA. I also have 2 other generation black 3pc rods Deep striker and Black sniper, I swear by them and awesome quality value for money all imported from aussie ($220nz landed) as they are way over priced in NZ. I have a personal preference for 7ft rods.

Also good call on the surgeons. It's exactly what I used for aussie estuary fishing never had it fail. It's a great knot especially for light line.

Yeah your right there on the 832, I found an interesting database someone put together testing line he had 6lb 832 out at 25lb. 832 is certainly an awesome line I use it religiously on heavier setups, but not a genuine 6lb 'light' line, which the shimano kairiki stuff is and for the money is a great super light line option at $30/150m spool IMO.
