What would you consider to be the "Avet of spinning reels"? By that I mean:
- High quality parts: aluminum externals and stainless steel internals (at least the majority of them)
- Warranty: 1+ years, and/or exceptional custom service from the company
- Price: let's say they have to be $500 or under, smaller sizes being cheaper than larger ones
- Variety: the reels must come in a variety of sizes (to be used for inshore fishing, offshore fishing, surf fishing, and maybe even freshwater fishing)
