ChrisWi Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Grand slam is actually a good line. Give it a try. 1 Quote
Blues19 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I use a lot of Trilene Big Game. Its a good line for the price Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 I would say you can't go wrong with any of the Trilene lines available. 1 Quote
ABW Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I like Big Game too. They should also sell braided line, you could try that. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 From that list ... Triene. 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 I like the maxima line. I guess it depends on your use, you can pick a soft or hard line out of your list. 1 Quote
FloridaFishinFool Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 My WalMart sells power pro too! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 Big game on the economic side and Maxima chameleon on the cost a little more side. A-Jay Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 You should have red label and power pro. Based off what every walmart I've been in carries, that would be the two choices 1 Quote
sprint286 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 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 Quote
KDW96 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Ours also has 832, fireline, powerpro slick. Quote
FloridaFishinFool Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 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. Quote
EvanT123 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Big game, suffix and/or power pro. Don't over look wal-Marts free ship to store. Quote
Super User Angry John Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 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. Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 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 2 Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 Trilene and Big Game for me. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 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. Quote
Tony L. Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Seas Grand Slam is a very high quality line. Trilene would be good too, but probably my second choice. 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted January 4, 2015 Super User Posted January 4, 2015 Walmart should carry seaguar. Mine does Quote
Jaheff Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 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. Quote
frankiebass Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 My WalMart sells Maxima monofilament, I'd say you can't go wrong with it Quote
