I use a store bought line by Riffe attached to a kevlar line and cable to a slip tip for pole spearing bigger fish.
If you are going to go to Home Depot you want polypropylene line as it will give you the flotation you desire but the big disadvantage of it is that it can tangle quite easily and breaks down over time with exposure to UV.
The Riffe line I have is slick vinyl tube sealed at both ends to trap air to float it and has the line running inside the vinyl tube. I know their are others but this is the only one I have any experience with.
