Forward Braid’s next-gen fiber technology and ultra-slick coating mean traditional knots just won’t hold. This is high-performance line built for strength, distance, and sensitivity—and it ties differently. Add one extra wrap for a rock-solid connection. It’s a simple adjustment, and we’ll walk you through it.

ENGINEERING THE PERFECT LINE:

The right line can be the difference between catching a bucketload of fish and coming home empty-handed.

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.

In fact, we design, engineer, and manufacture all of our line in the same building where our scientists are working diligently to develop the most advanced fishing gear in the world.

Then we take it to the water. We test our theories in real world conditions, with real fishermen. Our Production and R&D teams work extremely close allowing us flexibility & control through production to ensure the our lines work as designed, and as intended.

Bottom Line: We refine. Test. Refine. Test again.
And refine... as much as necessary:
Until it’s scientifically proven to help you catch more fish.
