Buy a Penn Authority Spinning Reel - jhfi.sh/3RabIqt
Her'e is a sneak peek at the brand new Penn Authority Spinning Reels! If you love the Slammer IV but want a reel that takes in to the next level then the Penn Authority should be something to consider. Penn let me borrow one of these fishing reels to do a video on so we don't have all the info but what we do know is impressive. IPX8 sealing which means it can be dunked or you can swim with it. Penn outfitted the Authority with stainless steel CNC gears that are super strong and durable, thirteen ball bearings and an improved drive train that delivers high performance with a light tough. The Authority is rugged and can handle fishing from a boat, beach or pier. Fish this in freshwater or saltwater conditions. To purchase or for more information on the Authority, visit the Penn Authority Spinning Reels page on our web site. Here is the link: jhfi.sh/3RabIqt

Glad Penn is releasing a real top end reel!! I have always been a Penn fan!

[@kevincummings3504]

I have been a Penn Fan from a kid with my Dad. I really like the Slammer and if the is a step up, I think I will love it. And the fact that Penn has included the extras is a great bonus. I can't wait until they are released. I will be adding one or more to my arsenal. And my son will get one of my older Penn to add to his. Must keep it in the family. 😉🙂🎣🎣

[@thatoneguy9842]

I live and breath and worship Penn for fishing both saltwater and freshwater. Such an amazing brand. Their products have been helping me catch lunkers with ease for a long time.

[@CurtCatchemFishing]

Recently started to favor Shimano over Penn but this reel looks solid. Can’t wait to be able to see it in person. Might have to add it to my arsenal. Thanks for the review!

[@joelanocesr.6531]

Very nice I have been using pen reels for 60 years and cant wait to add this one to my collection. Thank you for the info.

[@etothelij]

Told myself id try a saragosa after this slammer 4 i got last, has the ipx8, the price is right. Never realized from 3 to 4 the slammers never got better in their waterproofing

[@karlventer6850]

Hi. I have a penn slamer 3 size 6500. Love it..was fortunate enough to get it as a gift...if i had the money...i would have bought a penn authority size 6500 ...I've been waiting anxiously for an ipx 8 rating penn reel. I'm ftom South African & this is by far the perfect fishing all rounder reel. God bless America & thank you Josh & J&H tackle for all the intell you guys give. Stay blessed, safe & happy. Tight lines...reel em in.

[@niwrad84]

Ipx 8 I wonder what's going on inside the reel. Looks very solid.

[@donmeola5862]

I’m intrigued to see what mechanical improvements they made inside and in the waterproofing sealing. I have always been a Penn fan. Elevating their game, making improvements, and keeping their prices reasonable keeps them at the top of my choice list.

[@therookiefisherman5234]

Wow, that is sharp thank you J&H.

[@NFiltr8Red]

I have Shimano Stella’s Daiwa Exist’s but when I go to the jetty or ocean, those reels just don’t have the balls. Very finesse and so Delicate I don’t even want to set them down. On the other hand my Penn Slammers 3’s. Absolutely work horses and they crank in 30 lb King Salmons like nothing. I’m not too worried about setting them next to a rock or even dropping them which I never do. They are heavy but very well built and I am 100% sure these new ones will be better so I just ordered my 2 today.

[@OCBeachLife]

Looks like a great reel. I might just have to pick one up when they are released.

[@BrassHammer]

Thanks for all your reel reviews! This gives me some basis on knowledge of reels. We all want reels that will last a lifetime with minimum maintenance that we can hand down to generations of family members.

[@waltercrews361]

Love the Penn Spinfisher and Slammer series in 8000 to 10500 for Land Based Shark Fishing here in NE Florida, I look forward to seeing the Authority on the water

[@flyslinger2]

Dang. Just bought a Slammer IV this summer to make it 4 Penn reels for the shore/beach fishing. This would really make my collection pop.

[@onelifetolive199]

Sad they discontinued the CNC US made Torque for this though, was such a underrated reel 😑

[@DANIELSCALVIN]

Theyre revamping the Torque series (conventional and spinning). It will be a few years from now, but its going to be a high end, quality made reel.

[@77jaycube69]

@@DANIELSCALVIN I hope so.

[@77jaycube69]

@@bruiserlou6191 I was afraid of them same thing.

[@subyawd]

My slammer III’s have lasted four years with no maintenance other than rinsing with warm water. Perfect for the kayak angler with some dunking and sea spray. Not sponsored as my favorite reels are the Stella and Saltiga. I’m guessing the Authority is a fancier slammer, which are work horses and heavy.

[@billmoss5624]

Looks great they have given it to a few KZbinrs to try out

[@geofish]

Wow! Looks like just the Stella too!

[@peterwallace9764]

Yeah, I’ve got several Shimano & Penn IV. So is Penn back making their reels in USA. I’ve got a number of earlier Penn reels (Overhead & Spinners) as well

[@Jessica37323]

I'm glad they changed the hinged handle

[@stevecupolo2773]

I would like to try out the new Penn reel out. Looks like they put a lot of thought into this reel.

[@TheHungryFisherman00]

Seen this reel once before and thought man that’s a nice reel! Might wanna try it here in Hawaii one of these day!!!

[@justinlagreco3451]

Penn reels are tanks. Love them. Looks like an awesome reel

[@anthonybasilio2484]

Did they fix the spool lip they alway bird nest on all there reel they should follow Daiwa or shimano design

[@robhintzen]

Sweet can’t wait for this reel from Penn

[@shawnboisclair3696]

Nice looking reel, Penn is bringing our some very nice products.

[@tonybishop51]

Wow! Will these replace the all gold, all silver reels? Name escapes me at the moment.

[@JM-yl8md]

not with that folding hex shaft handle...at least that what it seems...where the heck did Tackle Advisors disappear to????

[@DANIELSCALVIN]

I was told its a step up from the slammer, but not on the level as the Torques. The Torque series is getting a major overhaul in the next few years. They will also have stainless steel gears, but will have a better frame design than the Authority.

[@PhillyJohnny]

@@JM-yl8md no chance that isn’t a screw in handle. Penn doesn’t use hex key handles like Shimano and Daiwa.

[@defmud80]

It's a screw in handle.

[@goatman702]

Never been a Penn guy but this reel and the new okuma reel look amazing

[@dustinkinard4032]

Looks clean! Can’t wait to get my hands on it

[@Geofish40]

Great reel

[@camboviet316]

I ordered the sustain reel a couple of months ago, might order this too. The reel looks pretty good. Wish you could compare the sizes. Would like to know the difference.

[@choeunpok7453]

Look good.I can see myself catching some reds with that bad boy.

[@phillipminyard7310]

Open minded, but most of my gear is Penn. Shimano line counter reel that Peen doesn't offer. But, this Penn Authority is EXPENSIVE, but specs look great. Nice video. Thanks J&H.

[@LilDino808]

So is this replacing the torque?

[@StripedBass-vq6vz]

Great looking reel

[@jandhtackle]

Thanks 👍

[@chriswalls5831]

Penn pretty strong thinking of going with ugly stick tiger, Penn battle 2, catfish rods

[@carlericpickett597]

Nice reel. Great color. Should be great for catching sheeshead.

[@garricksreptiles2667]

There’s the video and that garter!

[@bryanli8584]

looks amazing!!

[@joercarlos]

I have the 6500, the only complaint I have is the weight, it's solid but tad on the heavy side, if they could shave a few oz off would be awesome. I wouldn't use it as a all day casting reel

[@vsonic86]

Man why does it have to come with that auto bail close feature? Lost a lot of lures on slammer 3 here until I took it off. You said it is a high speed, how many inches per a crank? Is the drag still supper tight just like the slammer 3?

[@moretackle1]

Seems nice but the price is high. I have two Shimano Conquest reels but I can't justify buying a third expensive reel 😞

[@hectormpagan9296]

Can't wait to have it.

[@christopherwilde6673]

Seems to fall right between the slammer 4 and torque 2 spinning reels. It’s definitely very promising at first glance.

[@fishingwithtommy9692]

Looks really good and I like the other knob and accessories but idk about that handle

[@MarcosOliveira-dy9yx]

Very nice spin reel !

[@MrCRAIGB1000]

Hope it's smooth and durable

[@nicholascascarano1047]

that reel looks amazing!

[@coltonweber4905]

Awesome new reel!

[@peterkerch9357]

I've been fishing Penn since I was a kid and I'm going on 70 now! I'll fish em until I drop? 👍🎣🐟😎

[@sirfishalot923]

This really looks nice but it is a little out of touch for me. Still I do want to check it out. Is it made in Philadelphia or over seas?

[@sirfishalot923]

@SoCalMike858 that's truly amazing. I wouldn't spend that for it

[@MrHjgottesman]

Great video. What is the difference between the 2500 and the 4500?

[@stripervince1]

2000

[@navir7003]

Guess I'll have to wait to see if this is better than the new slammer.

[@jamesr1649]

Thanks for the chance to win and great video 👍

[@mikesFishingReelrepairs]

Nice looking reel would love have one.

[@edwinbartolome2125]

I will wait for the release

[@michealirwin7409]

Looks sweet!

[@shawnweed265]

I just heard about this...An interesting addition to the Penn Line...seems to fit between the Torque and the Slammer. I have both of those...and love the Torque, but not a fan of reels in general that have shrouds with open slats in them as the salt and sand gets in there. I get it, the carve them out to save weight, but I like to thoroughly clean them after use. This one foregoes the slats, and has all the right specs. for any fish I'll ever see in coastal GA. Well done. I am in.

[@gabrielarellano4356]

Beauty is at its best 🎣🎣🎣

[@calallen8786]

I couldn't go back with Penn. Looks good but staying with Shimano. Penns has failed me so many time. Mainly conflict 3 times, slammer once, battle few time so no more. Shimano hasn't failed me yet only 1 obviously has to be cheapest Shimano a Sedona

[@vizionsys]

💪 saragosa swa for the win

[@ricahrdsantella1711]

Cant wait to see it ..

[@pohoholoholo5712]

Looks like a beast

[@anthonylawlor9130]

Reel looks pretty good.

[@robertking309]

DX would look so good

[@234kwon]

dang i just bought the slammer 4. shouldve waited it out for the authority!

[@alliho2243]

Looks like a nice reel.

[@mrbigme101]

Love Penn reels have used and maintained them for years. This looks like another great addition to the Penn family of reels.

[@mikeludwikowski7050]

just wondering, does this reel come in a LL configuration?

[@timothyengland3]

any idea when these are released?

[@bhunter3850]

It looks like a fancier Slammer.

[@williammartis8976]

Looks great, I need one 😁👍

[@lockyraglus3358]

And what would be the best penn rod to match this reel with

[@tsalis2]

Do you think is better than a Certate?

[@user-wu66ming99]

Could you tell me IPx8( what does it meaning) ?

[@godawgs901]

IPX8 is a sealing rating for the reel. Protection against saltwater getting into the gearbox. Slammer 3 is IPX6 which is pretty darn good. IPX8 is incredible

[@tylerpepe8226]

Looks nice!

[@GrimReaper68440]

I was going to buy a new slammer4 but now I'm going to wait for the Authority wanting a 7500 model. So I'm going to have to save 300 more dollars?, I guess.

[@lousigillo8943]

Looks great

[@merohernandez5546]

Something to try out from Penn

[@richardsqueeze]

This is exactly what the fishing world needs another 5-6 hundred dollar reel.

[@PhillyJohnny]

Penn is really making a push to be the best. Beautiful reel.

[@wolffish2022]

❤❤❤

[@jandhtackle]

Yes!

[@patrickspehnkouch2345]

Is something like a spheros (not the inshore models) or a saragosa, also an ipx8 rating?

[@vizionsys]

Yes.

[@nstackerns]

Nice can't wait to get 5500. When is it available?

[@eves08109]

It was available back September

[@nstackerns]

@@eves08109 I picked up one three or four days ago

Looks amazing

[@armendhaxhibrahimi335]

Awesome lookin reel

[@AngelDiaz-qt2ig]

Dose it feel heavier then the slammer 4 ???

[@chickendlablo6502]

Can’t wait till someone opens one up so we can actually see the internals -

[@YakNinja]

Wow!

[@davidreagan7418]

That's an awesome reel

[@tonyholcomb8634]

Nice !!🎣🐟

[@manthos-markakis]

very good video! i am fishing with daiwa reels and they are more smoother than Penn authority why?, I don't know, even that it has 13 bearings. does anybody know why ? thanks

[@lockyraglus3358]

I’m happy to test it for you down under I’m thinking big Murry Cod Jew fish massive GT yellow tail king fish

[@quanloikid1]

Looks like a tank!

[@johnrasuloiii1319]

Do you know the weight of the 4500 reel?

[@77jaycube69]

Im guessing not US made like the Torque?

[@frankiifish_NY]

I need one of these 7500

[@Chinnu_79799]

Nice reel 👌
