Chromed Body Spinning Reels?

Guess I'm gettin' finicky in my maturin' years but, am lookin' for the subject/question material. The only one I've come across be the Pinnacle Alyssa (AL35CR). Have seen quite a few on numerous T.V., fishin' episodes but, never get the chance ta' see what the brand name of them are!? Am sure there be more on the market other than the Pinnacle, so if ya' know of any I'd appreciate your come-backs. Pre-thanks go out and "Tight Lines" ;)... < ' ( (( > <

Note: This be a Freshwater Spining Reel...

Have a great and safe Holiday's...

Update:

Thanks for pointin' that out on the Pinnacle and that's an absolute negative on the Graphite...

    You know that Pinnacle Alyssa AL35CR is chrome over graphite body right?...

    Pinnacle Alyssa AL35CR

    ($109.99; 888-281-2278)

    Best For: Medium to heavy fresh water

    Weight: 9.6 oz.

    Drive: 8 stainless-steel ball bearings

    Line Capacity: 12/100 yards

    Gear Ratio: 5.3:1

    Materials: Chrome-nitride-reinforced graphite body, vented aluminum spool with titanium-coated lip, ClickLock FatWire bail system

    "When you have your photo taken with a fish, you want this reel in the picture, too," declared one of our testers. The Alyssa AL35CR is a beautiful reel, if you like them flashy. It's also a great choice for all finesse presentations. For a reel with such a big price tag, though, there was a little too much "slop" in the handle, and one of our team members would have preferred a flat-sided knob to its slippery round metallic handle.

    I looked around at some Chrome bodies and found these. Different styles and colors.

    Check out the Mitchell Avocett. I've owned 2 and my other buddy has 3. They have been put to the test and they are beautiful for a 20 dollar reel. Abu Garcia has the Cardinal. It's flashy and beautiful too. Believe it or not, Shakespeare also makes some beautiful chromes spinning reels. I would buy the highest quality model Shakespeare has to offer though. Quantam also has some attractive reels as well. Look at the Quantam PT Tour Edition, absolutely gorgeous and tough as a boot nail. A little expensive for my taste. But if you like to use and abuse, you can justify it. Check out what Bass Pro has to offer as well. I have a Wally Marshall UL that is drop dead beautiful and affordable.

    I know Zebco makes a lot of chrome bodied spinning reels as well as Diawa. Abu Garcia also made some but I am more inclined to think they are putting chrome on bait casters now.
