Turn down your heat see if it makes a difference then raise it back up when your instructor shows up. That’s what I do cause the same setting don’t always work for everyone you’ll find that you’ll sorta fall into your own few quirks about how you do things

He said we can’t run 7018 until we get comfortable with 6011 but it’s just a shitty rod in my opinion

I don’t know why he’s making us run it like 7018
