ON THE WATER
PREPARATION
NORTHLAND, NZ
SAM CONNOLLY & HAMISH BEESLEY
“The saltwater fishing in New Zealand is awesome…the terrain that we fish in, the size of the fish. There’s nothing like hooking a big snapper as it races through the weed. It’s always 50/50 if its going to go to ground and break the line, or you’re actually going to win the tussle.
“Going now to the Authority, it’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.”
– Sam Connolly
“The Authority has been absolutely insane. We’ve had some epic battles…I’ve caught my biggest kingfish 30kg+ and everything just feels right. I’ve done a lot fishing, I’m a spinning reel man, and these are for me.”
– Hamish Beesley
MOTIVATION
MID NORTH COAST, NSW
ZANE LEVETT, OCEAN HUNTER SPORTFISHING
“The mid north coast of NSW is to me, God’s country. You can fish islands, rocky shoals, hard reef, deep pinnacles…absolutely everything off here. You get the most amazing headlands, it’s almost like Western Australia, New Zealand and even North Queensland mixed into the same location.”
“The New PENN Authority has really stepped it up. It’s way more refined and it’s been amazing to fish with all day. It’s been as smooth as some of the most expensive reels out there, but also as durable and solid as the Slammers.”
DEDICATION
GREAT BARRIER REEF, QLD
JACK NOLAN
“The Great Barrier Reef would be one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and the fishing opportunities you have out there are just incredible.
You can be chasing GT’s, then drive 30m and be jigging coral trout, nannygai & red emperor.
I’ve been using PENN for as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a believer in it. I’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 longer”
