Victoria, BC – May 04, 2017 – PEETZ Outdoors Limited (“PEETZ”), a 90 year old Canadian legacy manufacturer of fishing reels, rods and unique tackle, is pleased to announce a global licensing agreement with Left Coast Lures and Design (“LCL”).
Under the terms of the agreement, PEETZ has licensed the perpetual manufacture and wholesale/retail distribution of all lure products developed by Left Coast Lures.
“Ryan Kehn, the founder of Left Coast Lures, is a passionate and gifted tackle designer,” states Marc Hoelscher, former owner of PEETZ. “Like our company, he is focused on developing the highest quality product with no compromises in performance, quality and durability.”
We are excited to work closely with Ryan to manufacture and market his two current stainless steel spoon lure designs, ‘The Hammer’ and the ‘Holy Roller’. Both have proven to be highly effective for fishing salmon, bottom fish and trout throughout the Pacific Northwest and into Alaska. Both designs are available in a range of sizes and configurations and we have plans to collaborate on new designs for introduction later this year.”
“I’m proud to partner up with PEETZ for the distribution of our unique lures,” states Ryan Kehn, owner of Left Coast Lures. PEETZ has been expanding its reach very quickly with a focus on supporting local tackle developers. I think the company’s business model is solid and resonates with a growing group of anglers that are seeking products that are built locally and built to last.”
LCL spoons are available immediately through PEETZ and the company has already received orders from retailers for the full LCL line. For more information, can contact Robert Van Pelt at 250.383.5342 or robert@peetzoutdoors.com.
