The Miya Epoch Electric Fishing Reels has been around for over 39 years now, they were the first and are still the best in brand in the industry. But I noticed that there’s still a lot of people that think this concept of computerized fishing reel is new or not as fun as a standard reel. I think one of the reason is that most people just don’t know all the benefits and advantages of the product. So, for today’s blog, I’ve decided to just give a general introduction of the history and evolution of the Miya Epoch Electric Reel, also some information about the inventor and the manufacturing company Miyamae Co Ltd, located in Japan.

In April 1967, MIYAMAE CO., LTD (company established in 1949) started the manufacture and sales of the world’s first electric reels for ocean fishing. Initially these electric reels were misused by the fishing mania, but after it was broadcast on a TV program, its convenience became clear, leading to a gradual increase in number of its enthusiasts. Today the company holds 43% of share in the electric reel industry and without stopping at the domestic market is also exporting to a wide range of foreign markets like USA, Europe, Taiwan, Malaysia etc. The company’s deep-sea fishing electric line, also being called as the genre of deep-sea fishing, holds almost 100% share and keep in mind the rise in the average age of the fishermen so they have been increasing the turnover every year. The company continues to market its 12 volt COMMANDX Series and the 24 volt US Series which is a high quality, feature rich deep-sea fishing electric trolling reel and in addition for small and middle sized use. The recently introduced COMMAND X-6Z intended for beginners to professionals, is high-powered, reasonably priced and is being highly talked about. The company expects that this product will turn out to be one that can be enjoyed to the full regardless of whether the user is an amateur or a professional.

These Miya Epoch reels are more than just motorized conventional reels. The reel and motor are made as one unit, factory balanced, engineered and assembled. MIYAMAE CO., LTD made the first electric fishing reel over 39 years ago, and NO other company in the world has more experience in research, design and development in this area. Most of the CommandX reels have 13 standard features. There are also some additional features such as the automatic drag system available with the larger reels. These features are what really brings the enjoyment of fishing up to a whole new level.

Here are some of the standard features of the CommandX Reels.

1. Simple Lever-Action Drag control will give you a wide range of stable drag adjustments.
2. On-Off Winding switch to pump your catch.
3. The Auto Winding switch to relax your arms.
4. The unique Miya Level Winding mechanism to keep your line evenly on the spool.
5. The Variable Speed Control dial to reel your catch in just the right speed.
6. The Line Counter to tell you how far your line is out by the revolution of the spool.
7. The Speed Indicator to indicate the position of the winding speed.
8. Automatic Zero Stop to keep your line from running through the guide (automatically stops winding when the counter reaches “000″)
9. The Battery Indicator will show if your batter power is sufficient or not.
10. For the big catch, the Override Handle will enable you to add more winding power as needed.
11. Large LCD display.
12. The Direction of spool turning. It is simple to operate and will fill your sack in no time without tiring your arms.
13. Depth Memory to recall your last drop. The bait will sink down to the same spot every time to the set memory until you reprogram it to a new depth memory.
