Best Wall Mart Line

Featured Replies

sadly I don't have a good sporting goods store close to me&i don't have the patience for line to be shipped to me(lol) so all I have to choose from for line is what my local wall mart& SMALL sporting goods store carries.heres what they have: stren original,stren super knot,spiderwire ultracast ultimate mono,spiderwire ez-mono,Hi-seas grand slam,Maxima chameleon,Berkley trilene xt,xl & big game & Cajun line red lightnin'.from that sad little list what line would you most likely buy? thanks.

Grand slam is actually a good line. Give it a try.

I like Big Game too. They should also sell braided line, you could try that.

From that list ... Triene.

I like the maxima line. I guess it depends on your use, you can pick a soft or hard line out of your list.

My WalMart sells power pro too!

Big game on the economic side and Maxima chameleon on the cost a little more side.

You should have red label and power pro. Based off what every walmart I've been in carries, that would be the two choices

my walmarts cary the red label segar flouro. and I use it for 80% of my fishing . for mono spider wire or triline and for braid power pro

Ours also has 832, fireline, powerpro slick.

Hold on a second... I went back and re-read the OP post and he does not say what type of reel he will be putting it on.

 

And I just read a fireline suggestion...

 

I would not recommend fireline- a fused fireline- to be used on a spinning reel. Fused superlines do not do well twisting. Braided line can handle twisting better without fouling up as bad as a fused line can with less twisting.

 

So I would only recommend Berkley fused Fireline and SpiderWire EZ braid to be used only on a baitcast reel and not on any spinning reels. Just sayin'... from personal experience I have had trouble using fused superlines on spinning reels. I'd go with power pro braid for spinning reels.

 

I am not against fused superlines by any means. I love Berkley original fused fireline in smoke color around 10 to 12 pound test and no higher so as to not compromise casting distance with a stiffer line. It loosens up some, but nothing like braid loosens up.

Big game, suffix and/or power pro. Don't over look wal-Marts free ship to store.

It is weird that the fishing departments can be vastly diffrent store to store.  He may have listed what they have and we are not being helpful saying what they should have.  The ship to store for free is good.  If he is using a spinning reel berkely XL is decent and i have used it a lot for a long time.   Very soft and has some stretch so not great for jigs or large single hook stuff in the rocks and weeds.

Trilene. As stated above, if you can wait a day or two, walmart.com some red label site to store and live happily ever after ;)

Trilene and Big Game for me.

If it's spinning I'd go with braid.  About 6 weeks I bought a spool of 10# US Braid at Walmart.  In this period I have been catching 10-15 bass of all sizes daily, that's quite a few fish and whole lot of casts.  I have not had 1 wind knot on the 10#, I normally get them almost everyday.  Until this line proves to be inferior, which doesn't look like it will, it's going to be my line of choice.

Hi Seas Grand Slam is a very high quality line. Trilene would be good too, but probably my second choice.

Trilene XL is actually one of the least stretchy lines on the market, given how well it handles. It has roughly 9%-10% stretch, which is comparable to most fluorocarbons on the market.

Walmart should carry seaguar. Mine does

I used Stren high impact in 1/4 pound spools for main line and leaders with no problems when I first started bass fishing. My walmart still sells it.

Power pro
