I have the 6500 HS. It can handle being dunked completely underwater and be 100% fine and working. Penn reels has always been a work horse and the drag is smooth. Both of the round knob are good, I prefer the metal knob.

This is a smooth reel for Penn’s and water tight. Feels perfect with my Penn Battalion II 7’ Medium Extra Fast rods and kills the local Florida Redfish.

I fish almost exclusively for inshore stripers with lures. This type of fishing involves constant casting and puts a reel to the test. The Penn Authority has impressed me as a worthwhile upgrade to the Slammer III, IV and DX. The weight balances well with lures in the 1/2 oz +/- range.So far,, I’ve had no line roller noise, smooth, clunk free retrieve and reduced wind knots. The drag starts smoothly and maintains consistent resistance. It responds to hard hits and long runs. When set properly, it aids in reducing hook pullouts.Once you own a Penn Authority you won’t want to fish with anything else.
Reliable and absolute best value for money.

no instructions in box ,came with nice extra handle but it loosened first cast no tool to fix it? the bail closes on casting overall the cheaper reels worked better
