Reel art

Kwaguilth carver Jason Hunt, part of the famous Hunt family of artists, works on a limited-edition Peetz mahogany and brass fishing reel as part of the Victoria company’s Artist Series of reels. Peetz Outdoors, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, has commissioned Hunt to produce 90 of the reels. They sell for $799 each and a portion is being donated to salmon conservation programs in B.C. and the Yukon. See peetzoutdoors.com
