The story of Berkley fishing tackle began in 1937 in Spirit Lake, Iowa, when a young Berkley Bedell started selling handmade flies made using hair clipped from the family dog and feathers procured from his backyard chicken coop. Following his service in the Army Air Corps, Berkley returned to Iowa in 1945 and reinvested in making his company a success. Within a few years, the brand began offering nylon-coated wire leaders. Eventually, Berkley fishing lines joined the product offering, including the still-famous, super-strong Trilene line first developed in 1959. From day one, Berkley has been committed to creating the best possible products for anglers all over the world, and that commitment still remains the foundation of the brand today.
