Bought these 3 reels from Walmart. They are priced closely around $30. Their line capacity are similar; Okuma is the smallest and Penn the largest, all are about right for general fishing. Okuma is the lightest at only 8.05 oz vs. 9.15 of Shimano and 11.75 of Penn. Shimano is made in Malasiya and the other two are made in China.

 

I tend to keep the Shimano, except one thing: its line roller - made of brass with a chromium coating. I had a cheap reel with such a line roller and it was cut into two pieces by the line after 6 months. Does the roller in this Shimano use better brass and coating to last significantly longer?

 

The Okuma has a stainless steel line roller. Not sure about the Penn; it is too heavy for me to like so I don't even want to open the package.
