PENN Authority mill
PENN Authority is the flagship within PENN spinning reels. This reel is built for anglers seeking maximum control, power and protection while fishing saltwater. Think lure fishing, boat fishing, shore jigging, heavy shore fishing and targeting strong fish.
The PENN Authority is distinguished by its IPX8 sealed body and spool. This keeps the internal parts extra well protected from salt, water and dirt. Even in tough conditions, the reel continues to run smoothly and feel sturdy.
Why choose the PENN Authority?
- IPX8 sealed body and coil for maximum protection against water.
- Full Metal Body, sideplate and rotor for strength and stability under load.
- CNC Gear Technology with stainless steel main and pinion gears.
- Sealed Slammer® Drag System with Dura-Drag™ for powerful slip performance.
- 12+1 stainless steel bearings for particularly smooth operation.
- Leveline® Slow Oscillation System for neat line rewinding.
- Spare Hypalon Handle Knob for extra grip and comfort during heavy work.
PENN Authority mill for power and precision
The PENN Authority is designed for anglers not looking for an ordinary saltwater reel. The combination of all-metal construction, stainless steel gears and a sealed slip system makes this reel suitable for intensive fishing.
The Leveline® Slow Oscillation System ensures even line distribution on the spool. As a result, the line lands tightly and neatly on the reel. This helps with further casts, better line control and less chance of line problems while fishing.
The HS models have a higher retrieve speed. This is useful for fast lure techniques, crankbaits, stickbaits, shads or situations where you want to take line quickly. In turn, the standard models give a lot of control in more powerful drills and heavier applications.
