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.

Customers are mixed about the material of the fishing hook. Some mention that it's stainless steel and hasn't rusted in over a year of use, while others say that it corrodes when used in saltwater and is a thin metal.

34 customers mention16 positive18 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the fishing hook. Some mention it's very big, built large, and strong. It's the right size for saltwater fish, and plenty long for the occasional norther. However, others say that it'd be great for a large catfish or a mako shark, but too large for their 10-14 inch trout. The size is not very compact, and is much bigger than they realized when they purchased it.

"...These are NOT for the dry fly and nymph fly rodder as they are built large and very strong with a large jaw set for managing substantial sized hooks..." Read more

"...I fish for trout in streams, creeks and rivers, this is a very bulky hook remover. It is so much longer and bulkier..." Read more

27 customers mention18 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the grip of the fishing hook. Some mention it has a great grip, perfect for bass and pike, and is easy to hold on to. They also like the trigger grip, which allows them to exert a lot of force to get hooks. However, others say that it has poor grip, is not the super gripper tool they were hoping it would be, and has slippery handles.

"...Because of the gripping power on the hook, you can exert a LOT of force to get hooks out of bony or very tough tissue and cartilage...." Read more

"...The grip is nothing special but it feels comfortable and is easy to use when removing a hook...." Read more

"...The grip is much more positive than with long nose pliers...." Read more

"...Easy on the fingers, easy on the fish." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the spring of the fishing hook. They mention that it falls out when they squeeze the lever. Some customers also report that the spring-like mechanism fell off within 2 uses. Overall, customers are not happy with their purchase and recommend looking for a different hook.

"the reviews that i read about the spring falling out leads me to believe some of these pliers are making it out of production not properly put..." Read more

"...shaft on the front lever needs to go behind the rivet or the spring falls out when you squeeze the lever making the tool useless...." Read more

"...squeeze all the way to get a really good grip, and even then it doesn't feel secure. My other one will lock about half way squeezing the handle...." Read more

"...It's didn't break persè but the spring in the handle kept popping out of the handle and slipping out...." Read more

5 Stars
Life and finger saver!
This is a classic. It removes hooks and is long enough to get the stubborn snags while minimizing the harm to the fish. It is made of durable steal and can take a beating. The serrated grabber is an awesome addition and really helps get the hook locked into the tiny grooves. It has a strap that is removable, which is a nice touch if you want to hang it in a branch or a on boat hook. The spring loaded trigger is extremely easy to pull back and hold so if you are gripping it for long periods of time trying to remove a stubborn hook you won't get Carpal tunnel and/or have to go back to the cabin and take a nap. I've saved many a fish and many a finger with it! I wouldn't go fishing again without it! It is a staple in my tackle box and I'm sure it will last a very, very long time. Great product!
