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”.
Imagine you’re a superhero for the ocean & inland bodies of fresh water. You know that awesome feeling when a big salmon hits your line and the fight is on? Well, the most important part of that story isn’t just catching him – it’s making sure he gets back home to his family so he can grow even bigger if you do not intend to harvest him. Release quickly with ease.
Here’s the thing: fish are actually super delicate. They have a special “magic slime” on their skin that keeps them healthy, and even just touching them with your hands can rub it off and make them sick. Plus, they can’t breathe air!
For $45 – which is basically a fast food bite to eat for you and a buddy – or you can catch the all new limited introduction edition PEETZ Hook & Release tool. It’s like a magic wand for your boat. Instead of pulling the fish out of the water with your cumbersome landing net or grabbing him with your hands, you just slide this tool down the line, give it a little “flick,” and poof – the fish is free to swim away back to the wild!
The fish stays in the water the whole time, his “magic slime” stays on, and he swims away strong. By using this handy unique tool, you’re making sure there are still giant fish in the water for when you’re children or grand-kids are all grown-up.
It’s the coolest tool on the boat because it proves you’re not just a fisherman – you’re a protector of abundance in the sea or inland bodies of water.
