Once I got that dialled in I then play with sensitivity by increasing or decreasing the bend in the metal rod part that fits into your fishing rod eye end.
I hang the unit off a bench and set it up then just pull the fishing line to get an idea of the sensitivity and amount of force in the hook set....ohh don’t put your head anywhere near the rod when adjusting cuz your gonna get a whack upside the head
Good luck
Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to the hardwater season
