MOTIVATION
MID NORTH COAST, NSW
ZANE LEVETT, OCEAN HUNTER SPORTFISHING
āThe mid north coast of NSW is to me, Godās country. You can fish islands, rocky shoals, hard reef, deep pinnaclesā¦absolutely everything off here. You get the most amazing headlands, itās almost like Western Australia, New Zealand and even North Queensland mixed into the same location.ā
āThe New PENN Authority has really stepped it up. Itās way more refined and itās been amazing to fish with all day. Itās 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
āThe saltwater fishing in New Zealand is awesomeā¦the terrain that we fish in, the size of the fish. Thereās nothing like hooking a big snapper as it races through the weed. Itās always 50/50 if its going to go to ground and break the line, or youāre actually going to win the tussle.
āGoing now to the Authority, itās 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. Weāve had some epic battlesā¦Iāve caught my biggest kingfish 30kg+ and everything just feels right. Iāve done a lot fishing, Iām a spinning reel man, and these are for me.”

āThe Great Barrier Reef would be one of the most beautiful places Iāve ever seen and the fishing opportunities you have out there are just incredible.
You can be chasing GTās, then drive 30m and be jigging coral trout, nannygai & red emperor.
Iāve been using PENN for as long as I can remember, Iāve always been a believer in it. Iām 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
