The correct setting is seen in the working position. After setting load the line with the selected rig and observe the curve without immediately starting fishing. If the Ark remains almost stationary, the signals will be hard to read; If it's over-folded, you lose a useful move. Look for a clear middle position where small change can be accounted for in time.
Universal fastening facilitates matching, but does not override on-site inspection. It should fit without a flap, not change its position when the stick is moved and let the line run freely. Before descending through the opening, make a few smooth lifts over the ice; so you can see if the relationship between the hand, tip and mount is predictable.
The 1.0 g test does not mean that any combination with nominally the same weight will look the same in the water. The shape of the lure used, the movement of the line and the game chosen change the feel. Fix one item at a time: first the load, then the amplitude and tempo. Otherwise, you won't know which change improved the reporting.
Handcrafted deserves a careful inspection before an outing. Check that the ark is straight, that there is no refraction, and that the attachment holds the same when re-inserted. For transport, provide it with a firm and free space, without pressure from boxes or weights. After fishing, remove the moisture, let the element dry and put it in a position where nothing presses on its working part.
