[KIGAN TITANIUM FRAIM GUIDES] What is TITANIUM?
It is a metal element with atomic number 22 and the element symbol is Ti. Its specific gravity is 4.5, the melting point is 1,800 degrees Celsius, and the hardness is very high. The strength is almost the same as carbon steel, and the specific strength is about twice that of iron. It is 43% lighter than steel of the same strength. Titanium material is very expensive, but it is lightweight and strong, so it is used in the aerospace industry such as aircraft engines and fuselage production. In addition, it is used as a highly corrosion resistant material.
KIGAN titanium frame guides have already been recognized for the quality and performance by being mounted on the highest grade among overseas famous brands.
[KIGAN TMS (TITANIUM MICRO SPECIAL) System] Level up again with Titanium frame!
Launched in the United States, MGS (Micro Guide System) gained sensational popularity by upgrading key elements of the rod based on the lightness of the guides and finally became an important axis of fishing rod design.
In collaboration with MGS pioneer US fishing rod designer Ken Whiting, KIGAN announced a 3D-ZH system that can provide better performance by compensating for the drawbacks of such MGS, further developing the existing micro guides system.
KIGAN completed the TMS (Titanium Micro Special) guide system having remarkable performance by using titanium guides about 43% lighter than stainless steel based on this GUIDES TRAIN platform.
[KIGAN T-MMS (Titanium Mid-Micro Special) System]
It builds a new platform with titanium frame and mid-size micro guides!
We look upon the lightweight as the most important element of the MGS (micro guide system) advantages.
It’s lightweight, so it can increase the number of guides, increase the sensitivity of the rod, and gives good balance. In addition, since it improves the straightness of the line and the elasticity at the tip portion immediately after casting even at the casting distance, the casting distance can be secured enough to sufficiently offset the friction force caused by the small guides diameter.
KIGAN showed the TMS (Titanium Micro Special) guides system by further maximizing the advantages of MGS and supplementing its disadvantages. In addition, it built a MID-micro guides system using the characteristics of the titanium frame guides considering the purpose of the rod according to the target fish species and the environment.
A new platform has been completed that combines the benefits of a general size guides system with the benefits of a micro guides system.

Light weight
Titanium has a specific gravity of 4.54g / ㎤, in which 60% of steel and 50% of stainless steel is its weight. It is very light and it is a excellent material that can lighten the weight of guide.
Strong Specific Strength
Titanium has a specific strength similar to that of stainless steel, but Titanium Alloy has the highest specific strength among other metal materials.
Corrosion Resistance
The titanium dioxide coating formed on the titanium surface has a strong corrosion inhibition effect on the inside of the guide frame, and even if this passive film is destroyed, it is immediately regenerated. Therefore, it is excellent in corrosion resistance second to none to other materials including stainless steel. Saltwater has excellent corrosion resistance comparable to Platinum.
Non-toxicity
Safe and friendly to the human body – no metallic allergy.
