About Us
The Berkley story is deeply rooted in the idea of the American Dream. It's about hard work, struggle, and tough times. And it's about building partnerships to accomplish goals. Still, the story of Berkley is much more than the story of Berkley Bedell. It's also the story of dedicated co-workers and loyal customers, who were equally willing to take risks.
It all began in Spirit Lake, Iowa, in June of 1937, when 16-year old Berkley Bedell took 50 USD from his paper route earnings to start a business selling his hand-tied flies to fishing tackle shops and vacationing anglers. In his upstairs bedroom, with hair clipped from the family dog, Stubby, and feathers from the backyard chickens, young Berkley crafted flies to entice local bluegill and bass from their underwater cover. The Berkley Fly Co. was founded.
By the time Berk graduated from high school in 1939, he was employing several area girls who made flies, silkworm gut, and cable wire leaders in their homes. The business soon outgrew Berk's parent's basement and living room. He expanded to the second floor of the local grocery store, using a tub filled with ice and a fan for air conditioning.
After attending the state university and serving in the Army Air Corps, Berk returned to Spirit Lake in 1945 to start Berkley and Company. The business focus was on its cable wire leaders. One evening, while reading Popular Science, Berk learned about a Connecticut company that was producing nylon-covered cable for sailboat rigging. After visiting their plant, he began to work on nylon-coated wire for use in fishing leaders. production began in Spirit Lake. Shortly after this, the distinctive Berkley heart logo was designed with the slogan "nylon leader with a heart of stainless steel."
Berk next became interested in extruding nylon monofilament fishing line. At that time, all nylon came from DuPont. After receiving a license from DuPont, Berk returned to Spirit Lake to begin work developing equipment to produce nylon. The initial extrusion equipment consisted of reclaimed washing machine wringers, bicycle wheels, and other homespun materials. Soon Berkley was marketing private brand mono as well as Dew Flex monofilament. Ongoing experimentation would soon yield the company's breakthrough innovation - Trilene.
In 1959, Berkley introduced Trilene at about the same time DuPont introduced Stren. To help introduce the new line, Berk sent out thousands of sample spools of line and asked store owners to have their best fisherman try it on a spinning reel. Fishermen loved the line and it began the successful launch of Berkley Trilene.
The next four decades were a time of great growth for the company. In the 1960's Berkley entered into the rod business, which lead to international expansion in the 1970's. Soft plastic baits made an appearance in the 1980's. The 1990's through today have seen significant technology improvements in all of the Berkley products. From the beginning, Berkley has committed significant resources to research and development - a continuing strategy that has resulted in countless product innovations, including Berkley Trilene, the Lightning Rod, PowerBait, FireLine, and more recently Gulp!? and Gulp! Alive.

Ultimately, good price and excellent product.
I have been using this setup for Walleye fishing from the bank for about the last month. On several occasions, I have tried to set the hook and broke the fluoro at the knot at the jig. On other occasions it has broken at the knot at the braided line. I’m not an expert but I have lost a few fish and many lures due to breakage of the line. I did a bunch of research and watched a lot of videos. The knots you use make a HUGE difference. I had been using a Palomar knot at the jig and a couple different knots at the braid. The Palomar knot does not work well with fluoro. I was having breakage with a double uni or a double-double uni knot at the braid.
My go to now is what some pro anglers on YT call a uni knot at the lure. Shaw Grigsby has a video that he states he doesn’t know what the knot is called. Search YT for “best knot for fluorocarbon “. I have had much better results with this knot. I am able to confidently land 2-5 lb walleyes and not worry about breaking the line. The best knot I have found for attaching to braid is the modified Alberto knot. The river bottom here is rocky. Snags are an everyday problem. I can usually get my jigs loose without losing them now that I’ve found better knots. Search YT for “best braid-leader knot for light line: Lazy Alberto”.
In all honesty, when this spool is gone, I’m going to switch to monofilament for my leaders. It’s way more forgiving.
