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.

After inserting a new battery and pressing the ON button, the display did register something, but when releasing the button, the screen went blank. I tried several times with the same result. I then returned it and got a replacement. I tried two separate batteries in the replacement unit, and when pressing the ON button, absolutely nothing was displayed. The scale screen was completely blank - totally dead! For the price of this Berkley product, it’s ridiculous that two of them were defective right out of the package. Complete waste of money. Don’t buy.

It is made so poorly, that even when the cap is screwed on tightly, it does not put enough pressure on the battery to engage and turn on the scale. I had to take part of rag and insert it between the cap and the battery to get it to work. What a disappointment for a $57 scale. waste of money! Very disappointed.

I tested the accuracy before putting it in the boat with a 4lb bag of sugar. Read exactly 4LB !!!I have lipped/gripped several nice stripers in the 20-25" size and the grip clamps really well. Just got to remember to use the strap provided to keep from dropping it over by accident.

Ordered this item twice. First one came in in pieces with a nut in the bottom of the box and no way to reassemble so I sent it back and the second one came in and didn’t work. Don’t waste your time.

I bought this for my husband who does a few fishing tournaments each year. He loves it and says he has had several compliments on it at his fishing tournaments also. He brags on the accuracy of it when he comes in to weigh his fish.

Doesn't weigh consistently. weighed a 6oz lead and read anywhere between 8 and 14oz. my fishing bag got wet when i was fishing and water managed to get behing the glass on the screen. expected much better given the cost

Great way to handle all types of fish. The scale is accurate, +/- 2 ounces, and the lip grip holds the fish until release.

Works well, scale seems accurate enough. However I went on a couple saltwater fishing trips and neglected to clean it after each one ... got noticeable rust spots and a bit stiffer operation. Nothing that a bit of WD40 didn't fix, but I'd definitely recommend making sure you clean it well after each trip (especially saltwater). Overall very satisfied, the grippers work well and are solid.

Scale is easy to use but takes using it several times on the same fish to get a constant weight. Bounces up and down. First two times I used it were on largemouth that were in the 3-6lb range and the scale seemed light...they should have weighed more. I tested it against a grocery store scale and sometimes it was dead on, sometimes off by 3-5 ounces. Bottom line, wouldn't trust it if you're in a tournament but gives you a general idea of a fish's weight.
