MOTIVATION

MID NORTH COAST, NSW

ZANE LEVETT, OCEAN HUNTER SPORTFISHING

ā€œThe mid north coast of NSW is to me, Godā€™s country. You can fish islands, rocky shoals, hard reef, deep pinnaclesā€¦absolutely everything off here. You get the most amazing headlands, itā€™s almost like Western Australia, New Zealand and even North Queensland mixed into the same location.ā€

ā€œThe New PENN Authority has really stepped it up. Itā€™s way more refined and itā€™s been amazing to fish with all day. Itā€™s been as smooth as some of the most expensive reels out there, but also as durable and solid as the Slammers.ā€

PREPARATION

NORTHLAND, NZ

SAM CONNOLLY & HAMISH BEESLEY

ā€œThe saltwater fishing in New Zealand is awesomeā€¦the terrain that we fish in, the size of the fish. Thereā€™s nothing like hooking a big snapper as it races through the weed. Itā€™s always 50/50 if its going to go to ground and break the line, or youā€™re actually going to win the tussle.
ā€œGoing now to the Authority, itā€™s a more refined reel for the sport fishing we do. Stopping those big snapper in the shallows, and stopping those big kingfish. New Zealand is a tough environment, so having a reel that is IPX8 rated is awesome.ā€

ā€“ Sam Connolly

“The Authority has been absolutely insane. Weā€™ve had some epic battlesā€¦Iā€™ve caught my biggest kingfish 30kg+ and everything just feels right. Iā€™ve done a lot fishing, Iā€™m a spinning reel man, and these are for me.”

ā€“ Hamish Beesley

JACK NOLAN

ā€œThe Great Barrier Reef would be one of the most beautiful places Iā€™ve ever seen and the fishing opportunities you have out there are just incredible.
You can be chasing GTā€™s, then drive 30m and be jigging coral trout, nannygai & red emperor.
Iā€™ve been using PENN for as long as I can remember, Iā€™ve always been a believer in it. Iā€™m harsh on my gear and I fish in some harsh environments. the new PENN Authority has the IPX8 water rating which I know is going to make it last longerā€
