If we have a FF with an option to incorporate the 20 and/or 50 fathom file, will it be a safe assumption to catch RF within the depth <120 feet?

I am slightly confused by your question.  I will assume that you can't import the files.  It will be based on your location.  If you are sitting on a large pinnacle, you might be well below 120 ft but might be outside of the 20 FA line. 
Two or three 20FA waypoints will cover most kayak fishing spots, and you can manually input these waypoints into your fish finder. MooMoo is doing this way.   Also, you might want to use your phone apps to verify your locations, like Google Maps, Google Earth, Navionics, and Locus Map.

If you need any help, just let me know, Sonny.

Thanks Paul for your reply.  I meant FF without the import option.  My understanding is the 20 & 50 fathom lines are based on average depths not absolute.  They really make things much more complicated than it should be!

Was planning to go for a water therapy session this weekend but bad weather spoils my plan.  So decided to bake a fresh loaf of bread to go with smoked Halibut instead  :smt001

"On a separate rod or make do when needed?"
You can use a dedicated rod/handline or use the same fishing rod if you add a swivel or quick disconnect clip to the end of the (1 ft short)  line that snell to the hook.

[/quote]I'm trying to imagine how this works.  I certainly want the simplest method.

Hook the fish in lower lip and lower it down with enough weight (1 - 5 lbs) depend on how big the fish is.  Yank/lift the rod up to release it at desired depth or at bottom.

I just snell a thin wire barbless hook on backwards on the line above a weight.
