Penn Wrath II 8000 — Big-Water Power on a Budget

The Penn Wrath II 8000 delivers the legendary Penn durability anglers trust in a lightweight, corrosion-resistant spinning reel built for river and coastal fishing. With a machined aluminum spool, instant anti-reverse, and serious line capacity, this reel gives you the power to handle hard-fighting fish without breaking the bank.

Lightweight Graphite Body Built to Last

The Wrath II's graphite construction keeps weight down to 866 g while standing up to saltwater corrosion. A machined and anodized aluminum spool adds strength where it counts, and the Instant Anti-Reverse bearing ensures zero back-play when you set the hook. Line capacity rings let you monitor your line at a glance.

Smooth, Reliable Gear System

Two shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus one Instant Anti-Reverse bearing create a smooth retrieve under load. The 5.3:1 gear ratio recovers 112 cm per turn—ideal for working larger baits and fighting powerful fish from the surf or boat. The front drag delivers up to 11.4 kg of stopping power.
