Help needed with pull-ups (lemmy.world)

I am kinda new to pull-ups and i am having a problem. So right now I can do 8 pull-ups in a row but if I try to do another set after some rest, I can only get 4 to 5 reps. Is there something I can change with my pull-up training?

How much do you rest between sets?

I mainly aim for about 6 (weighted) pullups and then do a rest of about 4-5minutes. At your repetitions range I'd probably do a ~4minute rest per set.
