PENN AUTHORITY: The REEL we’ve been waiting for? 

One of the best descriptions of the new mechanism of a reel

Really nice job going quickly over the new reel. Would recommend this channel. :)

Very well done man! Best review of the Authority I’ve seen!

Ordering an 8500hs. These reels definitly have a market. Ill be using it for tuna popping and jigging in the canyons. These shud have no problem holding up to our fishery...and when compared to our other options ($1k++ shimano and daiwas) the price is very affordable.

I am looking at something in the small range and i am glad there is a top option like this in the 2500l3500 range. There sure are lots of good improvements over slammer iv. Even though it's 2x the price in this range for people buying once buying best is kinda not that bigg a difference

Love your breakdown! I live out of the country and wanted to pick up a good reel. 2 slammer reels or 1 authority reel. Im going 2 slammers!! Thanks

Love the video. I understand it also has a bearing on the pinion to stabilize that area as opposed to the Slammer. Also, it looks the Authority now has external seals on the line roller and the slammer does not correct?

Very logical n informative , i have 4500 one which is close in weight n shape/size to my stella 6000 sw , penn with this authority they could reaily could compete hard with the best there r shimano n daiwa camps . U should have more videos on yt , great review

Great comparison! Precise and direct info, I liked your video!

I hope you are having good fishing success down there. Fishing up here in Maryland is really slowing down here. Not to mention health is not so good. I did catch a few nice togs on that beautiful fierce. Hope you great fishing. Thanks chris.

I've seen a bunch of reels with crosswind bearing daiwa bg comes to mind even my penn Captiva had one

I’m so so glad someone is doing tear downs. That’s what I care about, not the looks on the outside. I love my Fierce 3, I used the shit outta that thing bass and saltwater fishing. I will absolutely buy another Penn someday.

Rock on tight lines. Love your review.

Being how it’s fully sealed it has ipx8 rating and it’s made in china, as well costs $500-$600. Is it worth getting it versus the The other Japanese equivalent reels (twin power, certate)?

excellent detailed review, and balanced assessment, thanks! here's a question (bit long, sorry): context : I have a Slammer III 8500HS and use it to fish the big bluefin tunas we have in Brittany (France). They typically are in the 200-300lb range, but there get bigger sometimes. reels are suject to extreme pressure. my Slammer did not take well the long rushes under 25-30 lb of actual measured drag. first heavyweight fight took out the smooth delivery of line under load, and now it tends to stutter on a fast rush. and there's some gritting feeling when reeling. my friends' Stellas 18 or 20k do not do this. but they cost a fortune. the Authority may be a nice compromise. question: do you think the Authority will stand this kind of abuse?

Hi. Been waiting anxiously for this evolution.from penn...huge fan...i have the slammer 3 size 6500 was gifted it. Wish i could afford this long awaited dream perhaps even get Santa mite finally convince me thwt he knows me & my wish.😃😅.. God bless America...stay safe . ..tight lines...reel em...Penn i salute yourl & wish yourl continued success. Peace. I'll always be a Penn pal & trusr it in the fight. South African coadt lines...have lot's of preditar species that pack a punch...this reel has the the bigger punch to fight bsck harder & win the fight.

good video man, if u started ur channel 10 years ago you would have a ton of subscribers, but right now everyone is struggling to grow. I have never touched Penn but from your videos I am familiar with Penn designs inside, and the other day I found I chinese reel where the chinese actually stole the design from Penn, not from Daiwa or Shimano. It was kind of refreshing to see the Chinese steal from someone else.

Any line lash or knots with the Penn authority? Definitely having that problem with my 5500

Awesome video!!

Gracias por este video .Interesante .muy bien explicado , éxito. Bendiciones. 🎸😇🎼😘⚘️⚘️

01:44 *dies*... No I"M SURE ITS WORTH IT!? I'll keep watching...

looks like a great reel

Hate to tell you bud, but the Wave Spin reel had a bearing in the crosswind gear when it first came out back in '07

how would u compare this reel to the new Stella FK?

Congratulations to the PENN product development team. The Authority series won "Best new saltwater spinning reel" at the EFTTEX Show [European fishing tackle show].

Pursuit. Toss it if you wreck it.

I do not need all the seals i have never dropped my reels or put them near the saltwater that is just asking for trouble anyway i have known this since i had my first reel at the age of 14 .

After watching quite a few videos it really doesn't seem all that much better over the new slammer. I don't like the way they removed the 'S block' guide/support either and the price exacerbates that. I wouldn't buy it even If I had the money.

👌👌👌

Nothing to say

Penn charging $500 for something Shimano has had in a $300 saragosa 🤨
