With the new Penn Authority, Penn sets new standards for its top-of-the-line reels. After three years of development, the company presents a robust, durable, and beautifully designed reel that will make anglers' hearts beat faster. Thanks to 12:1 ball bearings and high-quality internal components, this reel runs like a dream. Most of the Penn Authority's components are CNC machined. Since this is significantly more precise than casting parts (and therefore less expensive), the reel runs much more smoothly. The reel is IPX8 waterproof, preventing water from penetrating and damaging the internal components. The Penn Authority is extremely robust thanks to its all-metal body (including the side plate) and rotor. The reel is equipped with the Penn Leveline spooling mechanism, which ensures even line distribution on the spool. The smaller sizes are perfect for freshwater or saltwater fishing, for example, for pike or sea bass. The larger models are ideal for beach fishing or more demanding tasks at sea, such as in Norway.
