If one survives the first couple of runs of the fish looking for structure, they all eventually wear out and go into the death circles before making it up to the kayak.

Do you try to get the deep drop rig up completely or just under the surface if I was hooked up on the fly line? Or, is this not gonna be a real issue of him wrapping in the other line?

It depends on what type of fish I am fighting. If I am fighting an Amberjack, Grouper, or fish that is going to dive into the structure, I totally ignore all other rigs and focus on getting the fish clear of structure. Once clear of the structure, intermittently reel in other rigs until clear. It's a must to crank up my downrigger before it gets wrapped, or it will get cut off or cut off my fish. Peddling the kayak to keep the other lines behind the kayak helps keep them clear of the fish I am fighting.
