Great to see Berkley products being reviewed. Berkley is an Iowa company started in 1937, in Storm Lake. Great products, for over 85 years, and it has grown so big, with all the hard and soft baits. Thanks for the unboxing. Go Hawkeyes!
Have you listened to the Tackle Talk Podcast episode with Mark Sexton (the scent designer for Berkley)? I really opened my eyes to how much they really test their products and how much information they have. I've been using Berkley so much more since listening to it and I've been seeing great results!
Berkeley has spent a huge amount of money on the ultimate facility to create the best fishing products in the world. In my opinion, they are doing just that. I use quite a bit of their stuff. Right now I'm throwing a Slobber knocker and the 130 version Gilly. Berkeley General & the Spy in the 70mm version is a great go to when it's a tough bite. Berkeley is a staple in my tackle box. Rage tail craw and menace are always in my box. I love using those 2 on my swim jigs. Berkeley,... Don't stop what you are doing!!!! I think we are fixing to see some great stuff come out the next 2 yrs
I played around with a lot of Netbait and Baitfuel this past season I’m not completely sold on it yet but I definitely am gonna play around with it more
I use slobberknocker, Strike king rage blades & the Thunder cricket on top of still throwing alot of chatterbaits . They all have their own time to shine
The Lil Super Trooper is going to change the game for Neds and Finesse Jigs !!! I think a naked Sloberknocker with that Bonefish on the back would be epic right now in the Winter
I like Berkley baits. I find a whole bunch of sales on their baits up at the Fisherman's Outlet for Pure Fishing up in the Okoboji area! I picked up a few Slobberknockers to try next year!
Spybaits you count it down to the depth you’re targeting because they fall about a foot a second and then reel them back extremely slow. No jerking or shaking the rod tip. Just reel slowly straight back.
I thought midnight pearl was my secret bait. I got my package today Debo!! The beast coast stuff is awesome! So excited for that tungsten jig. Ten thousand craws are cool colors. Thanks Debo!!! I can’t wait to try all this out!!
The Money Badger is meant to be cold water bait. It falls into the same category mid-diving lure as the SPRO Rk Crawler and Storm Wiggle Wart. I just picked up several in the 6.25 and 6.75 sizes. Can't wait to throw them along rocky banks and bluffs. Great colors!
I liked the look of the Berkley Bonefish. For one, just an interesting look and profile. Secondly, I still use the Motoroil color for soft plastic worms and it still gets bites. I really liked the look of that color on that profile.
I’ve always liked the Berkley soft plastics, but haven’t tried any of their hard baits. Those are some good looking baits Debo. Will have to try some of those.
I have a variety of Berkeley baits, and really like them. Last order from TW, was all Berkeley baits. Just caught my pb spot (4 1/4 lb) on a fritside. There are still some other mainstays that I continue to use as well tho, like Yamamoto senkos sand trailers and spro pop-rs and rock crawlers
Caught my PB LM 7.1 on a Pearl Slobberknocker/Stinger last October. Sadly, broke it off on another big fish. Fished there for 10 + years, never anything near that big before. I believe in it! Great vid as always Debo!
I've always loved Berkley. seem to always have good stuff, and reasonably priced. Curious about their jigs. Bought a handful of styles. Are the scented silicone skirts a hit or a miss? We will see. Curious how they work for you too.
Love the color of that "blue craw" finesse jig, and the stinger (sun gill) looks really interesting. Might have to try some out in my big "spring kickoff" annual order.
Just got my hands on some money badgers and slobberknockers, am really looking forward to throwing both of these this coming season. Didn't get all the colors I wanted in both as the store didn't have them at the moment but will be going again to finish off the setup for the year.
Hey Debo: Great unboxing and yeah Berkley is on fire lately with their lure releases. That said when it come to bladed jigs Zman may have started the trend but I think other brands are worth a look as well. In my opinion every company will tell you why their bladed jig is the best on market but I think they all have there pros/cons and all work best in different situations. Thanks…🎣🤔😎🐝
I’ve always held Berkley in high regard especially with soft plastics. They pretty much make their own version of almost every popular bait out there. My PB Largemouth was actually on a Berkley SquareBull. Those bonefish are VERY similar to the Authentix Pulse Rs I’ve been using for Walleyes for years. Those ribbed bodies with thin tails really make it kick at incredibly slow speed. Most interested in those Powerstingers! That first color you displayed was 🔥 Hope all is well Mr Christian
I love seeing the new lures.I would like to know how the craw trailers do.The only think that keeps me from buying Berkley is that most things are made in China
Hey debo, I just got my first bass boat, and im struggling. Any chance you'd want to make a video about beginner boat fishing tips/lures? I love the way you explain things, I think that'd make an awesome video!
I have been using Berkeley Baits in one form or another all my Fishing Life and that’s 5 plus Decades and they are about the best Treated Soft Plastics I’ve used but I’d like to see them bring it all back to the United States instead of the PRC but I know the cost would skyrocket so it’s great China quality for now and fine with me. Great Video my Friend thank you and Semper Fidelis
I can't wait to see a spy bait video. I have one and have no idea what to do with it haha. It seems like a very overlooked lure. I'm curious to hear how those bone fish plastics hold up. Do you think that bass might short strike and rip off the more vibrant tails? Can't wait for more videos Debo! Still loving the content through all this non-stop rain we've been having for weeks.
Well I've always liked power bait ,gulp ,max scent all that good stuff it really works in my pond I started with yum jig trailers and would add pro cure for scent till I learned how to actually work the bait by you know twitching the ole rod and what not but the slobber knocker is just brilliant for me at least the scent is just that lil extra I always like to have
I spy bait fish a good bit and I have figured out a slow spinning reel with eithe 6# mono or fluro and a good moderate action medium light works great and count down and reel very slowly back to you you get the best wobble and spinn from the blades
Hey Debo: As tempting as the 2.5" Lil Super Trooper looks, I'd be inclined to use the 2.5" ZMAN TRD CrawZ in their place. For several reasons: compared to the Trooper, the ZMAN cost less, last far longer, have buoyant claws and come in twice as many colors.
That finesse jig combo that you cut and rigged looks sweet. I’m gonna try that one. And probably one Slobber Knocker with their trailer just to see if the hype is warranted. Can’t imagine it will cure my addition to the Mini Max but we shall see.
That Lil super Trooper has peaked my interest...So I've wanted some of the Stinger trailers since they came out, they look awesome. Good looking colors, good action...just way too expensive!!!
Definitely going to get some lil troopers after seeing what you did with that finesse jig! And i have some clicking frittsides on the way now due in later this week.
Hey man- great vid! I just rewatched your Slobberknocker vid again and slayed them using the Missile Baits Mini D chunk. I’d love to see you use the power stinger as a trailer and see what you think!
You and I were just talking the other day on Instagram about this finesse jig!! I’m super excited to see you ….or maybe Mr finesse jig himself Randizzle fish it. 😂
Took advantage of discount tackles 25% off berkley and picked up some good stuff. Liked berkley hard baits in the past so hopefully I'll get good results.
Love your videos. I bank fish mostly too and find something to take from every video. In fact you helped me learn to cast a baitcaster. Can’t wait to see some chatter bait action this upcoming season. I did order the slobber knocker in the gold shiner with the gold blade. Looking forward to throwing that myself. Got some stingers coming for it and other bladed jigs I ordered. Got to get a good chatter bait rod, looking at the st croix mojo glass 7’2” heavy moderate, or the st croix victory 7’2” heavy moderate. I have been looking at the lews KVD cc3 composite rod though too. Any thoughts on the rod choices?
Picked up some nice baits! I used to hate a jig but now I rarely leave home without at least two! Can’t wait to see that spy bait in action either so I can see how to fish them!😂
The shape 108 and the new maxscent craws look awesome. I think the best one to try off the unboxing you did would be the super trooper or the money badger.
i would love to see some videos on lead free products. there are a handful of states that dont allow the sale of lead products and rightfully so, do you have any suggestions for lead free jigs, most companies don't list the stuff they use to make there jigs.
Since you apologized to Berkley, they needa call that craw the Debo 108! Im Definitely picking up some of those power stingers! Hope you catch some tanks on those Spy Baits this year!
Great to see Berkley products being reviewed. Berkley is an Iowa company started in 1937, in Storm Lake. Great products, for over 85 years, and it has grown so big, with all the hard and soft baits. Thanks for the unboxing. Go Hawkeyes!
That finesse jig craw combo looked sweet. Love that rusty craw color

I really opened my eyes to how much they really test their products and how much information they have. I've been using Berkley so much more since listening to it and I've been seeing great results!
That spy 70 simply cast on light line, count down and slowly reel in. Clear water, little vegetation. I love those too much.
Exactly! It's got a natural shimmy and roll that does the work for you
Always love a Debo unboxing. Big fan of what Berkley has been doing lately, making some great stuff
I threw a lot of motor oil Mann's Augertails back in the day! Great looking baits!
Best unboxing I’ve seen in a long time! Nice close ups of all the colors and great explanations. Great job!

I love what Berkley has been doing the past handful of years, always been a Berkley fan especially the Pit Boss and the Chigger Craw.
I think I'm going to lean toward Berkeley, Berkeley Max Scent and NetBait/Bait Fuel this year. I really like the direction both companies are going.
I played around with a lot of Netbait and Baitfuel this past season I’m not completely sold on it yet but I definitely am gonna play around with it more
7:00 that is a beautiful jig and I'm predicting it now, you're PB largie is coming on that exact jig and trailer you put together!
Excellent haul will be looking forward to you using the Spy baits!
Debo...slobber knockers and power stingers for the win!!! Thanks for the video man. Great deal too. 50% off? Nice. ✌🏻😎🎣
I use slobberknocker, Strike king rage blades & the Thunder cricket on top of still throwing alot of chatterbaits . They all have their own time to shine
Slobber knocker with that trailer looks pretty sweet! Hawks won their bowl game!!!!
Lil Trooper on a 1/16 oz Berkley half head jig was my go to for river smallies in the highly pressured spots I fish when pressed for time last season.
The Lil Super Trooper is going to change the game for Neds and Finesse Jigs !!! I think a naked Sloberknocker with that Bonefish on the back would be epic right now in the Winter
Debo has the best unboxing videos. 👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺
Great unboxing Debo. Those finesse jigs look amazing. I see another order in my future, thanks for everything you do! 🙏
I like Berkley baits. I find a whole bunch of sales on their baits up at the Fisherman's Outlet for Pure Fishing up in the Okoboji area! I picked up a few Slobberknockers to try next year!
Spybaits you count it down to the depth you’re targeting because they fall about a foot a second and then reel them back extremely slow. No jerking or shaking the rod tip. Just reel slowly straight back.
Definitely want to see that golden slobber jig in action. Never seen that color before. Looks awesome!
I thought midnight pearl was my secret bait. I got my package today Debo!! The beast coast stuff is awesome! So excited for that tungsten jig. Ten thousand craws are cool colors. Thanks Debo!!! I can’t wait to try all this out!!

I've been throwing Berkley Lures since back in the mid-1980's its my Main throwing stuff. I love the Motor 0il colors
I also took advantage of that 50% off code. Man, those 4" 108's are a much bigger profile than I had anticipated.
Can't go wrong with berkley baits! That money badger looks legit 🔥🎣
Matt Stefan did a video on it. DEFINITELY looks like a fishy bait
Dang. Major stocking of some killer Berkley baits
I picked up some spybaits this holiday season as well. Look forward to seeing you work those into your fishing.
I liked the look of the Berkley Bonefish. For one, just an interesting look and profile. Secondly, I still use the Motoroil color for soft plastic worms and it still gets bites. I really liked the look of that color on that profile.
Anything finesse! Those bladed jigs look great!!
I’ve always liked the Berkley soft plastics, but haven’t tried any of their hard baits. Those are some good looking baits Debo. Will have to try some of those.
With the spy bait pretty easy cast it out and reel it in you can pop it every now and again I mostly just cast and reel and it does great for me
I have a variety of Berkeley baits, and really like them. Last order from TW, was all Berkeley baits. Just caught my pb spot (4 1/4 lb) on a fritside. There are still some other mainstays that I continue to use as well tho, like Yamamoto senkos sand trailers and spro pop-rs and rock crawlers
Hey Debo, great unboxing! I picked up a ton of lures & gear myself on that discount. Just gotta wait for spring to use it. 👊
I love Berkley soft plastics. The Berkley 3 inch grub is my favourite soft plastic of all time. I want to try the Berkey jigs so bad.
Excellent Debo. Can't wait to try out the bonefish. Those craws are going to be a great lure!
Caught my PB LM 7.1 on a Pearl Slobberknocker/Stinger last October. Sadly, broke it off on another big fish. Fished there for 10 + years, never anything near that big before. I believe in it! Great vid as always Debo!
Looking forward to seeing n trying the money badger!
Your killin' me man. How can I end my addiction when you put out stuff like this? Really like your videos
I’ll definitely have to take a look at those Fritside 5’s
They all looked good I'm going to have to get some slobber knockers to try. Great video Debo
I've always loved Berkley. seem to always have good stuff, and reasonably priced. Curious about their jigs. Bought a handful of styles. Are the scented silicone skirts a hit or a miss? We will see. Curious how they work for you too.
Great video. I really liked the Berkley money badger lure and the colors that they come in, they look great 👍 🎣
you should check out the netbait trailers with the flared tips. i bet that'll work well for you in your area if your craws do that
Love the color of that "blue craw" finesse jig, and the stinger (sun gill) looks really interesting. Might have to try some out in my big "spring kickoff" annual order.
Just got my hands on some money badgers and slobberknockers, am really looking forward to throwing both of these this coming season. Didn't get all the colors I wanted in both as the store didn't have them at the moment but will be going again to finish off the setup for the year.
Very interested to see more of the slobberknocker and stinger in action. We don’t have those in Canada yet, hoping to get some come springtime!
Once you showed the bonefish I thought going to cut the paddle off the tail and put it on a owner ultra shakey head! Thanks for the unboxing!
Great video Debo! Berkley is definitely raising the bar with their baits. Keep up the great work buddy 👍🎣
Hey Debo: Great unboxing and yeah Berkley is on fire lately with their lure releases.

Those bonefish are VERY similar to the Authentix Pulse Rs I’ve been using for Walleyes for years. Those ribbed bodies with thin tails really make it kick at incredibly slow speed.
Most interested in those Powerstingers! That first color you displayed was 🔥
Hope all is well Mr Christian
Great vid! I'm interested in those blown motor bone fish. Probably going to head to fleet farm and get some this weekend. Can't what for spring!
I love seeing the new lures.I would like to know how the craw trailers do.The only think that keeps me from buying Berkley is that most things are made in China
Lil supertooper craw that 2.5 in seems like it would be good on a small jig in creeks & rivers
Hey debo, I just got my first bass boat, and im struggling. Any chance you'd want to make a video about beginner boat fishing tips/lures? I love the way you explain things, I think that'd make an awesome video!
Definitely some juicy pick up's Debo. I'm digging it 👊🏼
I have been using Berkeley Baits in one form or another all my Fishing Life and that’s 5 plus Decades and they are about the best Treated Soft Plastics I’ve used but I’d like to see them bring it all back to the United States instead of the PRC but I know the cost would skyrocket so it’s great China quality for now and fine with me.

Berkley definitely has some good looking stuff, I think I would tend to building my crankbait collection with those nice looking cranks.
Gold is so killin' it in my parts of the world, right now.
Great video ++
I spy bait fish a good bit and I have figured out a slow spinning reel with eithe 6# mono or fluro and a good moderate action medium light works great and count down and reel very slowly back to you you get the best wobble and spinn from the blades

Those power stinger things looked amazing. Interested in how one might rig that bonefish though. It looked really thin through the body
Spybait and clickin frittside. Hoping to pick some of them up soon
That finesse jig combo that you cut and rigged looks sweet. I’m gonna try that one. And probably one Slobber Knocker with their trailer just to see if the hype is warranted. Can’t imagine it will cure my addition to the Mini Max but we shall see.
The power stingers look awesome… can’t wait to see them in action
That Lil super Trooper has peaked my interest...So I've wanted some of the Stinger trailers since they came out, they look awesome. Good looking colors, good action...just way too expensive!!!
Motor oil is one of my go to colors along with m.m. iii
Solid pick up, everything looks like it could put in work.
Definitely going to get some lil troopers after seeing what you did with that finesse jig! And i have some clicking frittsides on the way now due in later this week.
Great stuff here Debo.
The finesse jig hands down looks like a randizzle fish catching machine
Hey man- great vid! I just rewatched your Slobberknocker vid again and slayed them using the Missile Baits Mini D chunk. I’d love to see you use the power stinger as a trailer and see what you think!
I picked up some of them powerstingers myself got a pack of the black and blue and the ghost red craw
Those jigs and plastics look great. Just got into jigs this past year
I have not been able to find Berkley small octopus circle hook packs in a good while.
That finesse jig/crawl combo looked great! I am going to make myself throw more jigs this year! What rod/reel would you throw that finesse jig on?
Those Bone fish swim baits look very similar to the Pulse R baits. They are very popular for walleye
I have used Berkley soft baits but not any hard baits yet
You and I were just talking the other day on Instagram about this finesse jig!! I’m super excited to see you ….or maybe Mr finesse jig himself Randizzle fish it. 😂
Being a big paddle tail fan, I really like the Bonefish! I might just have to give those a try myself!
Took advantage of discount tackles 25% off berkley and picked up some good stuff. Liked berkley hard baits in the past so hopefully I'll get good results.
Love your videos. I bank fish mostly too and find something to take from every video. In fact you helped me learn to cast a baitcaster.

Picked up some nice baits! I used to hate a jig but now I rarely leave home without at least two! Can’t wait to see that spy bait in action either so I can see how to fish them!😂
I am excited to see Debo fish with corn. Iowa is a corn state and corn is the best bait in Iowa.
The shape 108 and the new maxscent craws look awesome. I think the best one to try off the unboxing you did would be the super trooper or the money badger.
Those jigs vibrating or not use them Debo do as dizzle does throw jigs my boy !!!!!!!!
I really like the money badgers. Gonna be ordering some of those.
definitely the Power Stinger Trailers
I like the looks of the bonefish
Slobberknocker looks great, also want your thoughts on the Bonefish, but I really want to try the Money Badger, love all the sizes
GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL DEBO!!!! I'm trying to color some of my soft swimbaits. Will magic marker be ok, how about finger nail polish?
I'm sorry I don't comment on your vids theare always great...thankyou your reviews are priceless.
Hey Debo what is the deciding factor when using a left or right handed reel?
Berkley makes some great baits for sure
i would love to see some videos on lead free products. there are a handful of states that dont allow the sale of lead products and rightfully so, do you have any suggestions for lead free jigs, most companies don't list the stuff they use to make there jigs.
Since you apologized to Berkley, they needa call that craw the Debo 108! Im Definitely picking up some of those power stingers!
Hope you catch some tanks on those Spy Baits this year!
Hello debo happy new year nice to see a new fishing lure video of yours sending you a big hug my friend happy fishing 🎣
