You should adjust the drag for the line, and not touch it again. If it

somebody deciding the drag is wrong during the fight.

I disagree. If you're fishing heavy tippet and the drag is adjusted to
that strength, it's hard to strip line from the reel. A tight drag also
interferes with the hookup. If I hook up on a big fish I'll first try to
get it on the reel (with plenty of bend in the rod), and then I'll
tighten the drag.

Yes, and this is what the Marryat Plus is all about:

You preset the drag fairly low to be able to easily strip off the line and
ready for the hookup and first run or two, then you start squeezing the
handle allowing you to pump the rod and retrieve line. If you feel the
fish is going to take another run you simple release the pressure of your
finger tips. However if the fish starts to get tired you squeeze the
handle again and you can force the fish in.

During all of this action, your hand always remained on the handle
therefore you can concentrate in front where the action is and no fumbling
to adjust the preset drag knob which is in the center of the reel.
