KIGAN 5G GUIDES SYSTEM

KIGAN has been questioning for a long time
Is the circular guide ring the best choice?“
We have asked constantly to ourselves questions like,
“What is the most reasonable shape? What would result in the best performance?”
When we look at the flow of lines while casting and the places where the lines pass, we can easily see that the circular form is not so reasonable.
So, we (KIGAN) came up with a unique shape of ring, and based on our long experience, we came up with frames that fit the shape of the ring. As a result of repeated trial and error, we have finally been able to design the most optimized guide.
We will call it ‘5G GUIDES!’.
5G GUIDES optimizes the flow of lines by shape and can resolve the line trouble itself close to perfection.
Thanks to the lightness that people have not thought of before, the fishing rod’s performance including sensitivity, balance, and casting accuracy have been improved overall, and there is less friction and more line protection compared to conventional micro-guide systems.
In addition, since the 5G Guide is made based on KIGAN 3D TECHNOLOGY, its lightness is maintained and its durability is close to perfection.

The special triangular elliptical shape, which maximizes the straightness of the line, the size, tilt angle, and height of the newly formed guide based on it can provide remarkable performance.
Most stable durability based on the 3D guide.

Durability must be accompanied by lightness and performance. All 5G guides are made by 3D guide manufacturing method (patent). 3D Guide is a proven guide manufacturing method that has been adopted for various items and series of the world’s leading rod brands over the past several years due to the highest durability.
The 5G Guide will guarantee the best performance in any harsh environment.

Amplification of wave energy – super sensitivity zirconia ring
KIGAN high purity zirconia rings are used for all 5G guides.
The KIGAN high-purity zirconia ring has been further strengthened in specific gravity, hardness, strength and ductility, and the coefficient of friction has been also lowered. This is a representative product of KIGAN which has optimal physical and mechanical properties as a fishing rod guide ring.
In particular, this KIGAN high-purity zirconia ring guide is the most suitable for high-sensitivity rods, which amplifies the wave energy twice or more based on high density compared with other ceramic ring guides.
