PENN Wrath II 5000 Saltwater Spinning Reel – Corrosion-Resistant Graphite Body & Aluminum Spool

Wrath II: Saltwater Ready, Built to Last

The PENN Wrath II 5000 is an all‑around reel designed for anglers who fish across varied waters—from river channels to open coast. It pairs a lightweight yet sturdy graphite chassis with a machined and anodized aluminum spool, delivering reliable performance in salt spray, heat, and long days on the water. The refreshed cosmetics honor the PENN heritage while keeping the focus on durability and value, so you can count on Wrath II season after season.

Under the hood, Wrath II fuses durability with smart, user-friendly control. The 2+1 shielded stainless steel bearings reduce play and produce smoother retrieves, while the instant anti‑reverse keeps the handle solid when you shoulder a strong run. The front drag is tuned for rapid starts and precise stopping, with a max drag around 20 lb, giving you versatile control whether a small trout or a bigger saltwater target tests the line.

Durability that translates to real-world use

• Lightweight, corrosion-resistant graphite body built to withstand brackish and saltwater environments.
• Machined anodized aluminum spool with Line Capacity Rings to aid line management.
• 2+1 stainless steel bearings plus instant anti-reverse for smooth, predictable operation.

Performance that adapts to your fishing style

Size options span from 2500 to 8000, so Wrath II can pair with a wide range of tactics—from light inshore work to offshore pursuits. PENN has tested saltwater gear since 1932, and Wrath II embodies that legacy with a focus on durability and reliable performance under salt, spray, and sun. Wrath II invites you to feel prepared for the next bite and the next fight, without promising outcomes—only the potential for a dependable day on the water.
