Quick take
Penn's versatile mid-tier spinning reel for freshwater and saltwater with strong drag and corrosion resistance.
The PENN Wrath II in size 5000 is a spinning reel with a lightweight graphite body and a machined, anodized aluminum spool. Two shielded stainless steel bearings and an instant anti-reverse bearing keep the retrieve smooth, and the front drag tops out at 20 pounds. It suits anglers fishing rivers, bays and the coast who want a solid mid-to-large spinning reel.
