What line should I be using?

[dudley1 68]

I've been using 9lb for in the onkaparinga and west lakes, is 9lb good enough for going after yellowfin whiting off the rocks at Marino?

9lb braid would do the job and more

Thanks, I'm currently using 9lb mono line. Yesterday I was using blood worms for bait at Marino, didnt have any luck, I'm using a 6-8 kg rod, shud I be using a lighter rod? I'm pretty new to fishing and Adelaide and any advice or help of what tackle/bait to use and where to fish would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah 6-8 is a mully rod, not a yellowfin whiting. Grab a 2-4kg rod, something like a shimano raider ($120), daiwa crest spin ($90), pfluger trion ($120), or shimano sahara ($79). Cheaper if you get on special. BCF has two combos which are cheaper too, Shimano Sonic Pro rod with Sienna reel for $69, of a Shimano Solstace Catana combo for $99. Both are good combos to start with. Get a 7 foot rod and 2500 size reel. Spool it with 6-8lb braid or up to 10lb if you are worried about breaking strain. Braid tends to be a lot stronger than mono (but you do pay extra for it).Good luck

I would use 4-8lb. Gotta get the bites/snapp offs before you have a reason to upsize, I say. YFW should never snapp you off unless you are lifting them. My opinion anyway.

I can definitely vouch for the pfluger trion as a good whiting rod, i use it all round as a light setup. :)Off seacliff / marino where i frequent quite regularly, i opt for super light, 4lb braid and either 4 or 6lB leader. If you find the whiting hit or miss chuck on a berly spring and knuckle a few tommies, thats what i tend to do if there is no luck upon arrival. Of recent times my self personally have found it more active off the shoreline closer towards brighton than towards Marino.

i use a 1-3kg rod and an 1000 size reel with 3lb braid and 4lb leader never ever had a problem... at one stage i getting bored of catch them that i chucked on 1 lb line on to get a bit more angling going but around there id use 4-6lb incase something a bit bigger comes along.
