Kigan Guides |About Founded in 1978, Kigan has grown into a leading fishing rod components manufacturer specializing in fishing

rod guides. In 2010, Kigan began a new era with 3D guides. Kigan’s unique 3D press construction maximizes

durability against ring separation by establishing perfect contact between the ceramic ring and metal frame.

Rather than follow others, Kigan has developed new guide technology that moves past decade old design.

This innovation sets a new standard with modern manufacturing methods and forward thinking designs that

produce lasting products which increase the performance of any equipped rod. Kigan has also answered the

micro guide market by offering more micro guide options than any other manufacturer. In addition to

outstanding selection, Kigan's micro guides and tip tops are easily best in class in several areas including

design and durability.

Kigan is an ISO 9001:2000 accredited manufacturing entity.

Z Guides (Pat. P) - “Z”

Kigan Z Guides answer the need.

Braided line has the unique characteristics of being highly pliable and having

little to no stretch. As a result, this increases the chances for line fouling and

increases the amount of pressure transferred to rod guides. Kigan Z Guides are

designed to specifically address these issues in both standard and micro

guide sizes.

Kigan Z Guides improve

on existing zero tangle

theory by removing the

p o t e n t i a l f o r l i n e

interference. Kigan’s 3D

press method allows Z

Guide legs and ring

frames to be designed

separately. They are then

pressed from one piece of

metal to produce a guide

where line is not able to wedge between the ring

frame and guide leg. Another benefit is the entire

guide and ring frame has a more aggressive

forward tilt to shed line easier. These are

significant improvements in guide design.

The Z guide incorporates a two step projection

on running sizes for increased wrapping strength

without increasing guide weight. This helps ad-

dress the energy transfer demands from fouled

braided line.

Top Guides - “MZ” & “Z”

Kigan Micro Zero Tangle “MZ” Top Guides

Kigan MZ Top Guides are ideally designed to provide strong, braced

tip tops compatible with all of today’s micro guide systems. The MZ

top is quickly proving to be the gold standard in micro tip top design.

Kigan Z Top Guides have become a favorite on casting and spinning

rods due to their outstanding performance and sleek design.

Design is mindful of both strength and aesthetics. It incorporates

Kigan’s 3D design providing incredibly strong ring/frame bonds.

Braces are short for increased strength and reduced side impact

damage. The brazing of the braces into the side of the tube

eliminates the hang points found on other tops. This innovative design

offers a zero tangle tip top design.

SF Casting Guides - “C”

Kigan Single Foot Casting “C” Guides

Kigan C Guides were developed to answer the needs of

rodbuilders worldwide. These guides boast features such as

the exclusive 3D design, correct calculation of the bend

radius from foot to guide ring eliminating guide shearing,

easy to wrap, room for locking wraps, and astoundingly low

failure rates.

In smaller sizes, C Guides excel in micro guide applications

and in other sizes are easily top performers on any spin, cast

or fly rod built for freshwater and light saltwater applica-

tions.

DF Casting Guides - “CD”

Kigan Double Foot Casting “CD” Guides

Kigan CD Guides are the perfect choice for heavy

casting rod running guides and fly rod stripper

guides. CD Guides are often used on light casting

rods as stripper guides, giving perfect complement

when using C Guides as running guides.

As with all Kigan offerings, CD Guides utilize Kigan’s

3D press method of construction which allows

significant advantages in ring/frame bond longevity

while remaining light in overall weight. These guides

easily shed line, endure demanding use, are easy to

wrap, and are highly functional while remaining

pleasing to the eye.

Spin Guides - “S”

Kigan Single Foot Spinning “S” Guides

Kigan S Guides are designed for use on light and

medium spinning rods and are perfectly matched

with C Guides as runners. The split leg frame design

takes advantage of Kigan’s 3D press method to

produce a lighter weight than comparative guides.

Guide train set up is easy as S Guides have been

designed to reduce in size and height appropri-

ately, eliminating the need for both high and low

framed guide series.
