In my experience, it doesn't matter how tight your drag is or how strong the line is if you don't have a drift chute.
A kayak alone doesn't produce much in the way of resistance against a yellowtail when they get a lobster pot or kelp in sight. Even with a drift chute, I think the maximum resistance is not very high, maybe within range of 15-20 pound test. I'd say that abrasion resistance, and excellent choice of knots are more important than heavy line.
