I'd say Avet; they're light, price is OK & made in the USA so servicing is easy. Narrow spool models for jigging.
I have an Everol on an Okuma xheavy rod. The reel is a tank...simple reel...made with the philosophy that big parts don't break; the rod is cheap.. parabolic action... I paid $60 (Amazon on sale) and while not a high tech blank it has Alps reel seat and guides that cost more than I paid for the rod. Drop in over at 360 Tuna; lots of jiggers over there and a good place to pick up a used reel from guys who change their reels more frequently than I change my underwear. PS The Okuma heavy is a great bass rod!
