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.

The concept is just like buying a car, if you go for an economic, small, compact car, it may cost you less and have better mileage but you will probabaly get less horse power. If you go for a large SUV or something with more horse power, it will get you less mileage per gallon and probably cost you more. Whatever you choose, it will most likely get you to the destination you want. It’s a matter of how luxury or economical you choose to be, what features you want and how much horse power, and of course style (for that, check out the CommandX-10 and the CommandX-20, the limited edition which comes 18 Karat Gold Plated). But since our product here is going to cost much less than getting a car, you don’t have to stress! It even comes with a 14-day money-back return policy (see restrictions on our site), so relax!

Now, here are the basics, if you’re looking for a portable electric reel to enjoy for yourself whenever and wherever, look at the CommandX series since they are operated by a 12 volt battery (which you can get at most major hardware stores) and come with a handle. The US series are 24 volt and come with no handle (optional) and are usually installed on boats as teaser reels. Another thing to keep in mind is that, all our reels have at least 13 features which is the standard, we call it the “Command System”. So now you’re really just looking a few basic things. How much hoisting power and winding speed and line capacity and if you would like the features in addition to the Command System with the different models.

With the Miya Epoch Electric Fishing Reels, you can get a smaller reel such as the CommandX-1 or the CommandX-4. It will cost you a lot less than some other reels, it will be smaller, lighter, easier to carry and it won’t use as much batter power as the bigger reels but it will have less hoisting power and winding speed (may be perfect for fresh water fishing). You can still go out to sea and catch fish and be able to bring it in, but it will definitely take more time depending on the fish size. On the other hand, you can go with a more powerful, larger size reel such as the CommandX-9SP or the CommandX-15SP and of course, have more hoisting power and greater winding speed. Another things is that the variable speed control for these reels have 40 different levels instead of 7, and it also has an additional feature, the Automatic Drag System. It will definitely be heavier and cost you more but you will see the difference and have a blast seeing it crank in the catch of the day!

Now, if you are like most people and just want to best all around reel to take out to sea that has more than enough hoisting power, winding speed, line capacity, and as much features possible, but yet not too big or heavy, at a very reasonable price, I recommend the CommandX-6Z. It’s a newer model reel with the newly designed motor for more power. It has the full Command System which are the 13 amazing features, including the 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). And if you think you’re a little more than the average fisherman, then I suggest going one step up to the CommandX-8Z which will catch fish to a depth of 1,200 feet, and the winding speed can vary from 190 to 340 rpm.

If you’re still confused about what reel to those, then you can email or call me and I will do my best to recommend the reel right for you. Otherwise, during this month of May, the CommandX-6Z is on sale, over $150 off which brings it down below $900. Don’t miss this opportunity, happy fishing!

This is my favorite part! Biggest catch of the day 62Kg (137 Pounds)

Oh, what a great day! My arm’s not even sore thanks the Miya Epoch CommandX-9SP, an awesome electric fishing reel. I’m already excite for another fishing day tomorrow!

The catch of the day using the CommandX-9SP (50KG = 110 LBS)! 

I remember about two years ago, when the site was still new, I received a phone call from an enthusiastic person that just wanted to tell me about the Miya Epoch Electric Fishing Reel that he had since 1979 which he was still using! He told me about how much he loved his reel and how he has never considered switching back to an ordinary reel. His reel was a very old model with none of the latest features we see with today’s reels but the real reason he was so happy was that he thought that he had lost the reel once, due to a flood. He told me that the reel was fully under sea water for atleast two days and thought that he would never be able to use his reel that he has own for over 25 years again. He knew from searching online and looking at my website that the newer reels had more power and features but it just wasn’t the same as the one he has been using for so many years.

The surprising thing was that after he got the Electric Reel out of the water and dried, he attached it to his 12 volt batter just to make sure it was no longer functional but then found out that is still worked!

Now, I’m not really a technician, and I don’t think these reels were designed to be fully water proof and be able to handle being under salt water for two days but I was just very happy for him and congratulated the man. I have to admit, there was a moment I thought that if the Miya Epoch Electric Reels weren’t built so well (even the ones produced 25 years ago), maybe I would be getting more repeat customers but that thought immediatly disappeared after hearing the excitement in his voice. The story also gave me confidence and faith in the product. If it made a customer from over 25 years ago this happy today, I’m sure that it can continue to make many more people happy.

So as I continue spend many hours to modify and promote swingcast.com and sell the Miya Epcoh Electric Reels, I remember this story and look forward to hearing many more exciting stories.
