uhh well this works but not so much to protect the fish's stack, much more because the TAG has a pretty loose raising range to iso the fish, so you will win the pot a whole lot

while this is true, this is totally not what OP has been talking about.

i've been adjusting the other way - if i'm on the fence between calling and 3betting the LAG and there's a fish in the BB i tend to call to bring the fish along. i don't get a shot at the fish for myself, but i'd much rather me and the LAG get a shot at the fish together than i 3bet the fish out of the pot and just play the LAG.

If fish calls, i think lagtag jerk will often have odds to cal aswell. Suddenly your OOP in a 3bet multiway pot with a marginal hand.

o wait i completely misunderstood this i figured the fish was the one rasing the button, this makes absolutely no sense at all, the fish can always rebuy so i dont really like it. Also the good lag player will call in positon sometimes fold sometimes, hell be able to outplay u most of the time probably

oh you can still do this as well

Reraising your cards in the upper 50% of their range seems reasonable a bit to get them to tighten up.
