Your mxj has plenty of drag needed for yellowtail. The 40# test you're fishing should primarily be for your benefit knowing that it most likely won't break or get chewed off. I fish 50# top shot on my avet sx when the yellowtail are really biting. Remember, it has only 9lbs at strike but 14lbs max. That is plenty for yellowtail on a kayak. The accurate is not overkill. It's nice knowing you could also go after larger fish with the same setup.
