    Hard to get line to lay evenly

    Only reason I gave it three stars instead of five is it was very hard to get the line to lay evenly I had to switch shims back and forth until it finally laid evenly

    Authority 8500HS

    What is the actual stopping power of this spool? The data sheet says 50lb / 22,6 kg. On the spool drum and in all the photos it is 40lb / 18,1 kg. I bought one and the drum actually says 40lb / 18,1 kg. I have two 4500s and a 7500 with the correct specs.

    Putting the Authority to the test

    Exceptional reel! I fish approximately 200 days a year with customers exclusively in salt water. From casting lures to live bait Penn Authority is built to take a beating. Bull Redfish will test the limits of any reel especially if you do it day in day out. The drag on the Authority is super smooth and my customers speak highly of them.
