We didn't get a clear answer when we spoke to the Pure Fishing representative at the Tackle & Guns Trade Show yesterday, but it would appear that the amazing new Berkley Nanofil will be in the shops before 2011 is out - or ever so slightly more accurate, in 'one or two months'.
We can't wait to try out the thinnest versions of this line. We got to man-handle the line yesterday and have to say Read the rest of this entry »

Berkley NanoFil – Innovation of the Year EFTTEX 2011
On August - 7 - 2011
Berkley NanoFil did NOT win either Best New Monofilament or Best New Braid at EFTTEX 2011. Berkley did win 'Innovation of the Year' with NanoFil though. How so?
"Not a Mono. Not a Fluoro. Not a Braid." That's how the advertising video for Berkley NanoFil ends. Okay, so apart from ruling Berkley out of every line award at this year's tackle shows, what does NanoFil mean to us, the Read the rest of this entry »
Berkley Gulp Sandworm vs Marukyu Power Isome

I attended The Big One fishing tackle show in Farnborough, on Saturday 20th February and hats off to Fishface Promotions - it was a cracker!

Video: 2010 ABU Garcia Reels & Berkley Line
On October - 10 - 2009
In this video from James Robbins, Product Development Manager for both ABU Garcia and Berkley we get a snap shot of some of the new products to be launched by the two tackle giants in the coming season.
First up is an old favourite brought right up to date. The Premier 706 closed-face reel takes its pedigree from the ABU 506's and 507's of yesteryear. Size is similar, but there's a whole host of improvements that look to make this a new favourite in seasons to come. Read the rest of this entry »
