You could set your drag at whatever you want, but when the line is wrapped around the rod the drag is now the breaking strength of the line.

I see that now, well that sucks! I see your point as well. Also, it's been a long time since I've been in a fighting chair on big tuna but I believe the bucket was always connected to the chair as well. Not sure why these guys didn't have it connected.
