The BEST uk BASS REEL? testing the PENN AUTHORITY

I've got my hands on the latest offering from PENN.... the PENN AUTHORITY, with an IPX 8 waterproof rating and solid stainless steel precision cnc cut gearing , this thing is built like a tank

Great reel and some great fish caught 👍🎣

Thanks Darren, I was only able to get out for 30 mins … but they were on it!!

[@andysmith819]

Beautiful fish 😀

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Thanks, I was only out for 30 minutes but they were feeding hard

[@londonviking3801]

Awesome reel but out of my league. I do also like the crankbait lures tho. Some lovely bass there too.

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Thanks mate, I actually swapped a reel I had for this (agreed they are pricy!)…how did you get on last weekend? Any luck with the bass?

Shimano Daiwa 💪

I've got 3500&8500HS it will not disappointed you,cause it worths. when you campare with SAME LEVEL DAIWA or SHIMANO REEL IT JUST COST MORE THAN YOU THINK

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Yes it’s a very nice reel, I guess it is similar to the shimano twin power in terms of performance

[@kenn8213]

nah~for me its totally different,cause the only one thing for mantainance is just wash them with fresh waterafter use..when using other especially daiwa reel i just worry about damage even a little scrap.fk them away~hahaha @@theoccasionalangler6956

@@theoccasionalangler6956I find it to be grater than tp

[@xyz_chain4199]

Any budget options ? 😅

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

You would be hard pushed to beat the shimano vanfords or Stradics

[@robertmceuen3630]

What kind of bass are those?

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

We don’t get fresh water bass species in the uk. These are genetically known as sea bass in the uk

@@theoccasionalangler6956 thanks for responding. Nice video.

Do you not bother eating any? Does it have anything to do with the crap from swalecliff waste works? Must admit i am going to miss the sport over winter.

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

I do absolutely love bass to eat… one of my favourite fish… but I find it hard to kill them , so I have made a pact with myself only to take ones that get injured. I have had well over 100 bass this season and only taken 3!

[@mitchstoryboard7147]

@@theoccasionalangler6956 a true gent. Its hard to explain to some people but even as an evolving novice i absolutely understand the respect and bond that is developing. Truly a wonderful way of fishing and great species.

[@vsonic86]

😂why would you call yourself occasional angler when you are willing to spend $500 on a reel? Got to be a full time angler for one to spend that much of money for a reel.

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

I swapped it for another reel, they are quite pricy! I do fish a lot these days now I don’t commute to work, running a fishing channel and being a sponsored angler I’m in deep!

Bass reels are garbage, Penn reels are awesome
