Does anyone know this? What company makes the smallest quality spinning reel?

Lightest or smallest?

Or both?

And an issue is that 'quality' is relative. So is price.

I'd definitely look at the Soare CI4+ 500S if your budget isn't much of an issue:

I never liked the FI body.

I prefer this body:

And considering the Stella doesn't come in a 500 size, it makes me think that Shimano also thinks that using a Stella to chase light line quarry is like using a Lear Jet to go grocery shopping.
