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.

I bought this along with some other plastics for a fly in fishing trip in Manitoba to target walleye. Was not sure what to try, so I had quite the variety of different plastics and colors.The lodge had frozen salted minnows available for purchase which we did use our primary bait most of the time. The salted frozen minnows were the most effective, but they would start to turn to mush and smelled pretty nasty when they thawed out too much from the sun.The catch rate seemed to be a little slower with the Gulp minnows, but they lasted for at least 10-15 walleyes each so that help with not having to put new minnows on all the time and they didn't stink. It was great when the bite was nonstop as I probably did better not having to bait the hook after each one.Compared to the other non-scented plastics I tried, the Gulp minnows were far superior. Just wish I had bought more of them for the trip. Unfortunately I only bought one pack of these and it was the 4 inch in Smelt color. I will definitely keep some of these on hand any time I go jigging for walleyes for when I run out of bait or to just to mix up my options. I plan to try more colors and other Gulp baits next time.

Gulp minnows work very well in my lake. Pricier than live bait, but they dont need to be kept alive and are good for 9 months from tine of opening. I always keep a pack or two in my tacklebag for crappie, bass, perch, bluegill, or trout.

I have heard good things about these. They seemed kind of pricy, so I figured I would try out some of the 1" ones to start and ordered a package, It arrived today. There are 10 of these skinny, tiny minnows in the package. The package must cost more to Berkley than the product. I threw them on the scale .. 0.3 ounce, and that's sealed with the package and liquid in it. At almost 50 cents a piece I am hoping they are very a very impressive bait. It would have been really helpful to have a package to view, or give a count for how many of these babies you receive.If they work well, I will get a pint of the 2.5 or 3" ones, too expensive in the small packages. Just be aware of what/how many you actually get before you hit that Add to Cart button.

These are killer for trout used with jig head or drop shot for a slower approach.

Caught my first Halibut using the drop-shot method with these Gulps. I'm now a believer that it works! Just make sure you put it back in the bag after using it or it will dry up.

These things catch about anything and they work amazing. Wish they made a 1 1/2 an a 2inch one as well. The one flaw which only happens to be on the 1 inch ones is durability. They are very soft and stored in liquid to keep them soft. The 2 1/2 or 3 inch ones don't use that type of plastic and far more durable.
