Anyone use USA Braid from Walmart? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sounds like a great price for a 500 yard spool. 65 is the same price

What do you guys think?

I have never used it but what I have used is this stuff. Extremely good deal, I've never had any issues with it. The 65lb 8 strand has a slicker feel as opposed to 65lb power pro. It's held up from anything to bay bass to bluefin and dorado. Hell, I was just at LJ all week fishing this stuff with no leader and was cutting kelp no problem. It may seem sketchy buying braid off ebay but they make it here in the USA.

(No I don't work for them)

Good price too, free shipping is a plus. The USA Braid says it is USA built too. I do like the yellow though.

Thanks for the link

I haven't seen this in the store, is this online only?

Yes, as to online with free pick up at your local store. There was free shipping to your door if you had over $50.00 in purchase.

Just a heads up for anyone buying fishing stuff at Walmart, not only is the selection better online but the prices are as well (might apply to other items but I just bought fishing stuff).

An example is the 1/4 lb spool of Trilene Big Game which is $8.88 in-store but only $6.79 online.

The retarded thing is that Walmart will match competitors pricing for items in-store but they won't match their own website!
