Hey there, anglers! If you’re into fishing and love gear with a story, you’ve gotta hear about PEETZ – Canada’s oldest continuously made salmon reel. Since 1925, this reel has been handcrafted in Victoria, British Columbia, and it’s more than just a tool – it’s a piece of history.

What makes PEETZ reels so special? They’re built by real artisans, not automated computer assisted, robotic type machines. Using techniques that go back over a century, each reel is carefully made by hand from high quality mahogany and brass, both sourced right here in Canada. This means every reel is unique, durable, and built to last through epic battles with salmon.

But PEETZ isn’t just about performance. These reels are true works of art pieces that you could pass down to future generations. They carry stories, legends, and the spirit of the West Coast’s craftsmanship. And because they’re made in limited numbers, owning one makes you part of an exclusive club of anglers who appreciate real quality and tradition.
