I know Pure Fishing didn't get them. I'm saying Pure Fishing is is also owned by an investment company. Because they are. Jarden Corporation. Jarden owns Sunbeam, Mr. Coffee, Coleman, Rival, Bionaire, K2 and god knows what else.

BTW, Berkeley is a Pure Fishing brand.

Pure Fishing started out as Berkley and Company. They changed their name several times while under the ownership of the Bedell family. Pure Fishing acquired Finwick,Abu Garcia, Shakespear,Stren, and a few more name brands before being acquired by Coleman(Jarden).

Berkley Bedell and his brother Jack are lodge brothers of mine and My son and Tom Bedell's daughter were good friends in High school together. Worked on a couple of committees with the school with Tom. Nice people. This is one of the many things that they did for the community. http://www.ymcaoftheokobojis.com/
