I think your wrong about this one. If a fish is pulling line hard enough to strip drag, it will set the hook itself if you are using a circle hook. In that scenario, you will not need to reel to get the hook set, you will just need to maintain pressure on the fish. I agree that reeling while drag is slipping will lead to line twist, but disagree with the premise that the only way you can set a circle hook is through reeling. That's just the typical way, since the fish will not ordinarily run hard(thereby stripping drag) until it feels the pressure from a taut line.
