Watch the weight too.

Pretty good list of requirements. I would like to add robust fasteners so it can be maintained at home several times a year without fear of the soft brass screws twisting off.

Powder coat is nice, cheaper than plating and stands up to the elements.

Easy on the BB's they are the first place the rust attacks.

I'm all for this as well, Recessed stainless (or titanium,lighter) allen head screws in the body would be the nutz. You would be hard pressed to duff one of those while doing repairs or cleanings. This is like a dream reel wish list, great post!

Like Slip said ... no bail slamming shut .. Have the reel set up so when the roller bearing or line pick up is in the up position the handle is always forward.. So on a hard cast you don't get that handle spin closing the bail .. and reel has to be beefy enough to jig 3-6,,and weigh absolutely nothing..
