    Great reel I have ever had！

    I wanted to share my feedback on this reel. The retrieve is incredibly smooth and trouble-free, and it provides excellent power during the fight. I have been using it extensively for surf fishing here in California with great results.

    One of the smoothest reels I’ve ever felt. I was scared that the 2500 size would be too big, knowing penn sizes their reels differently but its the perfect size for what I want to use it for. Next one to get forsure is gonna be the size 5000 or 10500

    Authority 6500

    Fresh from the box I can already tell it’s the most well built reel I’ve ever owned. Super excited to try it out Cobia fishing at the CBBT this summer!

    Authority 3500

    Bought the Authority 3500 during one of the 40% sales and without putting it to the test yet it seems like a very good deal. Very smooth and feels extremely well built. Taking it to Florida in April for some all around fishing
