Oh ya, a very special thanks to Ah Nga for borrowing me his Shimano Dendao-Maru 4000HP electric reel + Jig-Zam PE4-6 Rod + 500+ Meters of 80lbs line. Cos without that i think i'll DIE reeling up my manual Shimano Ocea Jigger 5000P lol. I did for a few time used my Ocea Jigger but its just way too tiring reeling it up lol. 170-220meters depth ler.... super kick lol
So with Ah Nga's electric reel it pretty much made my fishing trip alot more enjoying hehe... thanks Ah Nga
I've decided that i get 1 myself soon too. cos after comparing between X4/X5 and 4000HP, here's the outcome:-
1) X4/X5 can fit in more lines where as 4000HP max would probably be 600meters of 80lbs
2) X4/X5 seems to have heat up problem. It heats up fast. Unlike 4000HP, it just never heat up when i use it (bare in mind i kept changing my bait so lots of up n down)
3) X4/X5 faster?? hmmm... thats what i been hearing but i've tried comparing a few times with andy and lou yu who was next to me both using X4 and found out, i tend to reach bottom earlier (the fact that 4000hp does have motor support when line out as well) and i tend to reached up slightly faster than them. But maybe they wasnt using full battery powered (X4/X5 can control speed base on battery usage)
4) X4/X5 uses up battery power faster in a way (but yet to be proven), Nong Nong's battery went flat towards the 3 day. he was using wet cell and i was using dry cell battery so cant really compare it that way.
5) Lenght accuracy?? there were 9 x CX4, 2 x CX5, 2 x 4000HP and when comparing all X4/X5 gives different depths... with a huge difference even for some. and for both 4000HP, it seems to be giving a very close lenght. And i notice it for a few time just to prove to myself.
6) X4/X5 super loud lol
well, thats all i found out so far after comparing between shimano and command electric reels. till then, we can also discuss on this hehe... cos i havent buy it so maybe something could change my mind or make me more confidence in getting 4000HP hehe
