PENN Authority HS Spinning Reel [6500HS / 8500HS]

The PENN® Authority™ is the new PENN® standard. Focusing on best-in-class smoothness and sealing, these reels will have a size and gear ratio for every scenario. Utilizing CNC Gear technology™, the precision-cut stainless steel gear train paired with the Dura-Drag™ system, will give you the power to tame anything from within the deep blue. The IPX8 sealed body and spool are top of the line, ensuring that no water will reach the internals, even if submerged. Whether fishing the creeks or in the blue water, the PENN® Authority™ sets a new standard for durability and performance.

Big fish require big stopping power. Not just once but cast after cast. Fight after fight. Our patented Dura-Drag system is at the core of the Authority but beefed up with fully supported stainless main and pinion gears for durability you can trust. And that trusted durability is now sealed and protected better than ever, with an IPX8-rated body and spool.
