A Partnership to Help Raise Funds for Canadian Healthcare, Education & Sports Programs
PEETZ Outdoors is pleased to announce the release of a special edition fishing reel with Brad Jacobs, Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden of Team Jacobs, one of Canada's premier men's curling teams, to help raise funds for Canadian hospitals, university scholarships and youth sports.
Team Jacobs are Ontario Provincial Champions, Canadian National Champions, Brier Champions and have been previously ranked as the #1 men's curling team in the world. They also won Gold at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
With their triumph in Sochi, the team propelled to the forefront of the curling community around the world. With their new found fame, the team quickly developed a number of ways to bring attention and support for a number of worthy causes at home. The team currently operates initiatives which raise much-needed funds for Canadian Neonatal Healthcare programs, The Team Jacobs annual “Follow Your Dreams” Student-Athlete Bursary, as well as youth sporting development programs for both curling and golf.
The Team Jacobs Reel
In support of its charity programs, Team Jacobs and PEETZ have developed an authorized, special edition fishing reel for Team Jacobs' fans across Canada and around the world.
The handcrafted 4" PEETZ Evolution reel proudly features the Team Jacobs mark and team member signatures engraved onto its face. On the back of the reel there is also the full Team Jacobs logo as well as a unique serial number that will only be available for this special edition of reels.
For each reel purchased, 25% of the proceeds will be directed to Team Jacobs Charity Programs.

Caring for Your Evolution Wood Reels
If you care for and maintain your PEETZ reels, there's a good chance they'll return the favor with reliable service for decades... and likely your great, great grandchildren will be able to use them when they grow up too!
For saltwater fishing, you should also give your reels a rinse in fresh water after each use to minimize corrosion. You should also wash the reels periodically in a warm soap solution (mild dish soap works well).
More Information
We recommend that you lubricate your PEETZ fishing reels twice each season with a good quality marine (water-resistant) grease.
Follow these simple instructions:
- Remove lock screw from centre of wing nut/drag nut.
- Remove wing nut/drag nut as well as the brass and fibre washers. Remove reel drum from shaft, exposing inside of back plate. Clean old grease and debris from shaft (and inside of drum) as well as both halves of the reel. Also wipe clean the the clicker gear and clicker assembly.
- Lubricate shaft and clicker mechanism with a good quality light marine grease (such as Lubriplate).
- Re-assemble reel in reverse order to the first step above.
Preserve your PEETZ Evolution series wood fishing reels for decades to come!
Below are some helpful tips regarding fishing line selection and usage:
- Be aware that Nylon (monofilament or braided) and other highly elastic lines generate an enormous amount of line pressure on your reel's spool. It's called elastic potential energy and here's a link for details on the physics, if you are interested.
- Try to avoid lines with excessive stretch and know that backing of any type is no safeguard against spool damage. If you prefer the high stretch feel of monofilament, one option is to load your spool with low stretch line like Spectra® Fiber followed by the monofilament line of your choice. We recommend no more than 600 ft. of total load on the 5" reels and 800 ft. of total load on the 6" reels.
- When winding under heavy tension from weights, weeds, kelp, large bottom fish, etc., do not retrieve the line by steady winching - it is best to use a pumping action with your rod - pull up on the rod first and then reel the line in on the downstroke.
- Elastic line pressures continues while your reel is not in use! When storing your reel between seasons, let the line out with no weight on and retrieve under no drag, thereby leaving the line relaxed.
Please note that PEETZ Outdoors is not responsible for wood spool damage due to line pressure.
