COLUMBIA, S.C. - Built for anglers who demand uncompromising power and control, the new PENN Fathom 500 Low Profile Reel expands the legacy of the Fathom series into a compact, precision-engineered design made for the toughest saltwater battles. Featuring a full-metal body and crank side plate, this reel maintains perfect gear alignment under heavy loads, delivering the strength and durability PENN is known for. The Fathom 500's smooth performance and exceptional torque make it a trusted choice for serious saltwater anglers.

A Titanium Nickel-coated level wind system adds corrosion resistance and superior line management, and the synchronized drag and level wind system keeps line lay even under heavy drag settings for reliable performance when it matters most.
