I'm with Nebe, Tight drag.....you can get away with it in a yak because the yak actually acts as a secondary drag as it will move when you hook into a decent sized fish.

Absolutely! A tight drag, but not locked down as Nebe said, you want it so a small fish will hit and hook itself without pulling drag, but a big fish will just peel drag off right after it hits...THAT gets you adrenaline going!

Yeah, The Dad Fisherman! The yak works as a secondary drag.
Hey, where the heck are you guys finding sandworms this year anyway? Must be a bad year to be a sandworm.
