I use the Drag too set the clicker. Probably about 3/4 tight every time i soak a bait.
I'd Tack That!!

I use circle hooks so I keep my drag tightened down and let the rod load up and set the hook

Depends on the bite of what im fishing for.
Tight at times for blues.
Always loosen it for flats.
"good luck to all,on or off the water." S-n-W may help you're odd's.
Fishing is not an addiction. It's a way of life.

When anchored up in timber I lock my drag down all the way. When fishing open water I back off a bit.
