BerkleyFishing 1135072 Fluorocarbon Line Review
Our verdict
The BerkleyFishing 1135072 offers 110 yards of 10 pound fluorocarbon for $10.48, a longer running-line spool than the leader-focused options in this comparison. Its 4.5 star rating across 122 reviews is the lowest in this set, and the 0+ bought-last-month figure suggests it moves far less than the similarly priced, similarly sized Berkley VPS8-15.

Anglers who want a long 110 yard running-line spool of true Fluorocarbon material rather than a Blend, at 10 pound test, and who do not mind that this particular listing carries a smaller review base than its Berkley sibling.
Skip if
Skip it if recent purchase volume matters to you, since the 0+ bought-last-month figure trails every other line in this comparison, most notably the Berkley VPS8-15's 700 plus figure at a similar length and price.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Picture spooling a whole reel with running line rather than just tying on a short leader. The BerkleyFishing 1135072 is built for that job, 110 yards of 10 pound test fluorocarbon in Clear color, weighing 0.05 pounds and listed as 330.0 feet across the spool, for $10.48.
The closest comparison here is another Berkley product, the VPS8-15, which also spools 110 yards but at 8 pound test, lists its material as a Blend rather than Fluorocarbon, and costs less at $7.87. On paper the 1135072 has the stronger material claim, plain Fluorocarbon instead of a Blend, along with 2 pounds more test. The TrikFish 25FLS03001 and P-Line FCCF-2 sit at different price points and spool lengths, $11.34 for 25 yards and $8.99 respectively.
Where the numbers diverge is demand. The BerkleyFishing 1135072 carries a 4.5 star rating across 122 reviews, the lowest rating and among the smallest review counts in this set, and shows 0+ bought last month, the lowest tier shown. The Berkley VPS8-15, by contrast, shows 6,718 reviews at 4.6 stars and 700 or more buyers last month, a much stronger demand signal despite its lower material claim.
Pros
- Material listed plainly as Fluorocarbon, not a Blend like the same-brand Berkley VPS8-15
- 110 yard spool length matches the Berkley VPS8-15, useful for filling a whole reel rather than just a leader
- 10 pound test is 2 pounds heavier than the Berkley VPS8-15's 8 pound rating
- Priced at $10.48, cheaper than the TrikFish 25FLS03001's $11.34
- Clear color suited to low-visibility presentations
Cons
- 4.5 star rating is the lowest among the lines compared here
- 122 reviews is a small sample next to the Berkley VPS8-15's 6,718 or the P-Line FCCF-2's 4,000
- Bought last month sits at 0+, the lowest demand tier shown, versus 700+ for the similarly sized Berkley VPS8-15
- Costs more than the Berkley VPS8-15 despite the sibling product's far larger review base and buyer volume

Performance notes
At 110 yards and 10 pound test, this spool is built for filling a reel with running line rather than just cutting a leader section, the same role as the Berkley VPS8-15 in this comparison. The material listing is where it stands apart: plain Fluorocarbon here versus a Blend on the VPS8-15, a distinction that matters if pure fluorocarbon's lower visibility and faster sink rate are the reason you are buying this type of line at all. The 10 pound test is modest, suited to lighter freshwater techniques rather than heavy leader duty. At $10.48 it sits between the Berkley VPS8-15's $7.87 and the TrikFish 25FLS03001's $11.34, positioning it as a mid-priced running-line option with a stronger material claim than its cheaper same-brand sibling. The 330.0 foot figure listed alongside the 110 yard length is consistent with standard spool math, since 110 yards equals 330 feet.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star rating across 122 reviews is the softest pattern in this comparison, both the lowest average and among the smallest samples, well behind the 4.6 stars and 6,718 reviews posted by the same-brand Berkley VPS8-15. The 0+ bought-last-month figure is the lowest demand tier shown here, in sharp contrast to the VPS8-15's 700 or more buyers. That gap is notable because the two products share a brand and spool length, so the weaker numbers on the 1135072 point to either a newer listing or genuinely softer demand rather than a category-wide issue with fluorocarbon running line.

Frequently asked questions
How does the BerkleyFishing 1135072 compare to the Berkley VPS8-15 in this same comparison?
Both are 110 yard Berkley spools, but the 1135072 lists 10 pound test and plain Fluorocarbon material for $10.48, while the VPS8-15 lists 8 pound test and a Blend material for $7.87. The VPS8-15 carries far more reviews, 6,718 versus 122, and a stronger bought-last-month figure, 700 plus versus 0+.
Why does this line show 0+ bought last month despite a decent rating?
The facts here show a 4.5 star rating across 122 reviews alongside a 0+ bought-last-month figure, the lowest tier tracked. That combination suggests the listing sees limited recent purchase activity even though the buyers who have reviewed it rate it reasonably well.
Is the Fluorocarbon material listing meaningfully different from the Berkley VPS8-15's Blend material?
On the spec sheet, yes. This listing states Fluorocarbon as the material, while the VPS8-15 states a Blend. Fluorocarbon is generally associated with lower visibility and faster sinking than blended lines, though both come from the same Berkley brand at a similar 110 yard length.
