PEETZ Canada

Great news, did you know that every week PEETZ is helping anglers get the longest life possible from their PEETZ brand reels. Some reels are over 80 years old and still fishing regularly. We service and recondition or also offer the opportunity to convert their Classic model reels to the new Evolution one way drag system - where it's easy winding for the angler and all the beef of the drag is on the fish, unlike the original Classic drag that is hard for you and hard for the fish the tighter you engage it.

Whether you want to redo a sentimental meaningful reel for the mantle on display or get your old tired reel back into shipshape...PEETZ has the solution for you.

I am looking forward to serving and helping you create the best memories possible. Give me a call Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm.

Not a new Idea, but one that Robert Van Pelt acquired when he purchased all of the assets, machinery and equipment for well Known PAL or PALISTER brand of fishing tackle from Sooke, BC. The lot also included well know Vancouver Island Magic Lures. Both of these iconic brands had filled tackle boxes and commercial boats for decades. In the mass lot of stuff that Robert acquired was some separate equipment for making Bentley Gaffs and a type of release tool. The Bentley products had been produced for nearly 18 years, but it wasn’t until mid 2025 – nearly 10 years before Robert would actually get started working on the release tool product range, originally coined the Bentley Release tool.

Robert has now re-branded the product range under the PEETZ moniker, and he is now calling it the
“PEETZ Hook & Release tool”.

The science behind colour on lures at depth. The what, why and when. As published originally in the KIKO Lure archives. Listen in to the deep dive on this hot topic.

The Science of color – PEETZ Canada Listen in on this topic deep dive… The colour is bright enough, why aren’t the fish striking at it?Some anglers ask themselves this all the time. If you do not, you might want to consider asking it sometimes when you are having a really slow day. Just because the color looks good to us on the su...

Peter McMullan describes some of his fishing memories...

A long, long time ago, in 1953-54, I was a 19-year-old Victorian College student all the way from Belfast in Northern Ireland. And, of course, I was even then a passionate fisherman so the Island was indeed a paradise. That soon brought me to Brentwood and to the start of a friendship with Jim Gilbert and also to the Peetz shop in Victoria where I was welcomed, if I remember correctly, by Judith Peetz.

The attached photos are of winter fishing in Saanich inlet and of one of many salmon taken the following summer while trolling with the tackle so traditional in those distant days: Peetz reel with extension handle, wire line, big chrome flasher and stripteaser.......great days and the finest of rods and reels

This Saturday in Nanaimo, BC at Dover Bay School.

Always a great event, lots of good treasures and fun people to talk tackle and gear with.

May I say, that this entire experience working with Jeremy and his talented team at Coastal Carvings Fine Art Gallery has been such a delight and an amazing experience. I am proud to have had this opportunity to work with Jeremy and Jesse Reardon filming for APTN TV on the Coastal Carvings television documentary series. I am so very gratefull for this entire opportunity and the awesome friendships that have formed from it . Thank you so much Jeremy, you brought my thoughts to life with your beautiful concept that is now working into fruition.
