For Robert, one of the newest owners of this historic 100 year old brand, PEETZ represents more than a business; it embodies a legacy of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Every lure and reel is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting a love for fishing and an unwavering commitment to quality that can only come from a deep connection to the art.

At PEETZ, craftsmanship is rooted in family values and a rich cultural heritage. As an artisan, Robert takes honour in creating products that are not only functional but also works of art, each piece telling a story of patience, skill, and respect for nature. The passion for fishing runs through every detail, from selecting the finest materials to perfecting each finish, ensuring that every lure and reel performs flawlessly and endures the test of time.

About PEETZ

Boris Peetz is credited with the innovation of the first PEETZ reel, which likely began its commercial journey in 1924. This was a notable year not only for the introduction of the reel but also for the completion of the Johnson Street Bridge, a significant landmark. The PEETZ reel has since become a respected name in fishing equipment, symbolizing quality and craftsmanship in the angling community.
