Berkley Science and Why it Matters. It starts with research & development in our labs at our Berkley headquarters in Spirit Lake, Iowa. Here we can test our new line tech and prototypes directly on the species we're fishing for to see how it performs with various rigs & baits.

The SpiderWire Stealth Blue Camo-Braid and Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon take the top spots for their maximum strength. While the 20-lb SpiderWire line we tested takes the cake for the toughest fishing line, proving to be nearly impossible to break, the Berkley Trilene Big Game also ranks high in this category.

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.

Built on a foundation of hard work and curiosity about fish behavior and biology, Berkley® has become the premium brand of fishing tackle for anglers across the world. Our company has driven performance advances in fishing bait, lures, lines, rods, and tackle across the industry.

It is the connection between us, our lures and hooks, and the fish. Most people know what braided fishing line is. It is, by far, the strongest type and to some, considered the best fishing line. It is constructed of strands that are interwoven together to create a highly durable, no-stretch, completely opaque line.

Fluorocarbon is the line that is most invisible underwater, while the braided line is the strongest, yet most visible above water.

Braided line in the 20- to 40-pound range is a good choice when fishing in open water with a clean bottom, and for extreme distance. For snag-infested waters, turn to monofilament no heavier than 25-pound test.

The quotation-based memes often touch on education and intelligence, and among the most ubiquitous is the following remark attributed to Albert Einstein: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

If you try to drown a fish, the ocean will laugh at you. It is only in deep waters that a fish knows how strong it is. Fish don't need swimming gear when speeding through the deep waters. A shallow river with fish is worth more than a deep sea without any.
