drag setting?

what do you guys set your drag as for different line ratings? the 1/3rd rule is cool but sometimes it seems light to me. i've used 30 max for most of my kayak career but recently used 40lb mono top shot over braid and set it at 14lbs of drag. on an 8ft rod it was a bit on an ass kicker, 30 set at 11lb wasn't nearly as bad. half the time id get a good run and it felt like i was going to tip, if i wasnt in an x factor and something less stable, im sure i would have.

so what do you guys do?
