BerkleyFishing 1135071 Monofilament Line Review
Our verdict
The BerkleyFishing 1135071 is a fluorocarbon line, not straight monofilament, spooling 110 yards of 8 pound test for $12.49. Its 4.4 star rating across 315 reviews is the lowest average in this comparison, so it earns a place mainly for anglers who specifically want fluorocarbon's properties rather than a general-purpose monofilament spool.

Overview
Not every line in a monofilament lineup is actually monofilament, and the BerkleyFishing 1135071 is a good example. Despite sitting in the mono-line category on this site, its listed material and technique are both fluorocarbon, a distinction that matters if you are shopping specifically by line type rather than by category label.
At $12.49 for 110 yards of 8 pound test, it is priced close to the $12.99 ANDE PCW-50 but delivers far less line and a lighter pound test built for finesse work rather than general use. The 4.4 star rating across 315 reviews is the softest average in this comparison, sitting below the 4.7 stars posted by both the ANDE PCW-50 and the Maxima MOSS30.
Fluorocarbon is typically chosen over monofilament for its lower visibility underwater and reduced stretch, traits suited to clear water or line-shy fish rather than everyday reel spooling. At 0.08 pounds, it is one of the lightest spools by weight in this comparison. Anglers should weigh the lower rating and shorter yardage against what fluorocarbon specifically offers before choosing this over a straight monofilament option.

Performance notes
Fluorocarbon line differs from straight monofilament mainly in refractive index and stretch, sinking closer to the water's refractive properties so it is less visible to fish and stretching less under load, which can improve bite detection but also transmits more shock straight to the rod and hook. An 8 pound test is a light-tackle spec, suited to finesse rigs, small lures, and line-shy species rather than heavy cover or big fish. At 110 yards, the spool is shorter than the ANDE PCW-50 and Maxima MOSS30 shown in this comparison, though neither of those lists an exact yardage for direct comparison. The 0.08 pound spool weight reflects that shorter length. For anglers who specifically need fluorocarbon's low-visibility properties in a light pound test, this fills that niche, but it is not a drop-in substitute for a general-purpose monofilament spool.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 315 reviews is both the lowest rating and one of the smaller review samples in this comparison, trailing the 4.7 stars each posted by the ANDE PCW-50 and Maxima MOSS30. That combination, a below-average rating on a modest sample size, suggests a more mixed buyer experience than the other mono-line products shown alongside it. The bought-last-month figure of 0+ does not indicate strong current purchase activity either. None of this means the line fails at its specific job of providing low-visibility fluorocarbon line, but the overall pattern of rating and review volume places it toward the back of this particular lineup rather than the front.

Frequently asked questions
Is the BerkleyFishing 1135071 actually monofilament?
No, despite being grouped with mono-line products, its listed material and technique are both fluorocarbon. That is a meaningfully different line type, generally chosen for lower visibility underwater and less stretch than standard monofilament, so treat it as a fluorocarbon option rather than a straight mono spool.
Why is the rating lower than other lines in this comparison?
At 4.4 stars across 315 reviews, it trails the 4.7 star ratings held by the ANDE PCW-50 and Maxima MOSS30 in this comparison. The facts here do not explain why, only that this is the softest rating and one of the smaller review samples among the mono-line options.
How much line comes on the BerkleyFishing 1135071 spool?
The spool holds 110 yards, or 330 feet, of 8 pound test fluorocarbon line. That is a shorter run than heavier-yardage options in this comparison, which fits its role as a finesse line rather than a bulk, general-purpose spool meant to last a full season.
