HI Shanook the Miya command cx-6 have the jigging function but as you said that fuction is for shallow water but they have a good motor as well. which model do you have? and how much is it's line capacity?

i have the miya CX4 hp. i loaded it with spectra PE8 thats 80lbs line. the capacity is 1000mtr. i got mine from Japan and with shipping and tax i ended up saving Lm75 as compared with a Maltese shop.

what do you tink about the miya command x4,if you give your personal fedback will be better.

I have both CX4HP and CX6HP. The 6HP is a little more robust and the motor is smoother. However after a lot of work (and heavy pulling) they both failed last year and had to send for repair.

So if you go only occasionally just to have some fun they are excellent reels but if you start going more often for more seroius fishing, then nothing beats the Kristal fishing 410 reel. That said I still prefer to use the CX6HP to be able to hold the rod in hand when required.

About the jigging function of the 6HP it works well for deep bottom too. I tried a few times with metal Jigs but never caught anything yet.

thank you for the fedback, what do you tink of the repairs carried out?

Repairs were send to Italy and they seem to have done a good job.

Whaterver u do, don't get a small hp as it takes ages to wind up in depts of more than 250mts, so try to go for at least 6hp

6HP and 4HP have same winding speed if not 4HP is a little faster. 6HP has more torque though. To get the most speed try to wind up the spool to its max with braid so that the diameter of each turn is as big as possible.
I bought mine from Mister Fish.

how much it was from mr fish and did you had some type of garantee on the reel?

Moonwalker · September 16, 2011, 10:29:17 CET

It was 4 years ago so prices have changed. Go there and ask him. He should give you guarantee too.

when i bought my miya epoch 4hp from mr fish they did not gave me any guarantee.. so is worth buying it from the net
