I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
When you purchase the fact it comes with this blue filter that goes around that stack in the center for wet backing but I lost mine good luck thanks for watching
For those that read the instruction manual: Filter can be left on to pick up small amounts of water, remove if picking up large amounts of water. When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the built in internal float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off airflow. You will know that the float has risen because Vac airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed. When this happens, turn off the Vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. To clean the drum after normal dry operation use warm water and mild soap. If after picking up waste water disinfect drum with 1 teaspoon of bleach and 1 gallon of water, move around contents and cover all sides and let sit for 20min. then rinse thouroughly. If waste water has any purchase seperately and use the recommended wet debris specific foam filter to protect your motor from damage.
Yes, you don’t wanna have the filter on it they have a special cover. It’s like foam that usually comes with the vacuum that you can put over that area but if you leave the filter on we’ll get soaking wet.
Thank you so much! My husband is out of state, the kids and I came home to very hot house. I made it to Home Depot 10 minutes to closing time🫣 Thank you Jesus the air is back on.
There’s only one thing I need to add make sure the motor and the inside of it is completely dry before attaching the dry vac filter. Otherwise it’ll get all nasty and moldy inside. You have to let it air dry.
Hi Tom. Thanks for the video. I decided to look on RUclips to see if there was a video with someone using this to pick up water. Do you use that feature often? When reading reviews on Amazon some people mention that the water is coming out when picking up water. Did you notice this when picking up water? I appreciate your help. Thanks!
Without the foam, any filth in the water can get up against the blower intake and even inside the motor. Not much risk from that fairly clean water from a dishwasher.
Is this the same for any shop vac? Honestly I never bought a shop vac in my life until now. I purchased the Ridgid HD1400 shop vac and was wondering when doing wet I am supposed to remove the filter and dry I keep it on? What about if your doing something that is wet an dry or slightly wet an dry?
It should come with like a foamy thing that you put around that centerpiece. Unfortunately I lost mine so I went ahead and just did it without it and of course I pulled out the paper filter.
You saved my life the other night. A toilet in my master bathroom cracked and I couldn’t figure out how to get my shop vac to suck up water without spraying it all over the exit vent. Thank you so much. Floors still need to be replaced but it would’ve been a lot worse if I would’ve let the water sit there for hours more!
What about the filter on the backside of the shop vac? My Rigid has hose adapters on both sides of it. One side for blowing air and other side for vacuuming. So the opposite side always has a filter on it. What should I do with that?
Well, the side with the exhaust probably is where you have your filter on this one. The filter is in the center and if you’re pulling in water, it’ll get soaking wet. They have the special type of cover that goes over but I didn’t have one when I made the video.
Do you need to ground the Rigid vacuums with an adapter? I Heard that wet/dry vacuums have to be grounded/plugged into a grounded outlet and i can't tell if my outlets are grounded or not.
Would the shop vac get damaged if I vacuum Oil and Coolant? Or is water the only thing it could suck in? If anybody can help pls, I can't move my car till then or gonna have to go old school and siphon it out.
I’m not sure about other types of liquids you could probably check their website and see what it says I wouldn’t try to vacuum up anything this flammable though that might not be a good idea good luck thanks for watching
hello what would you recommend to vacuum Pool Filter Sand from Tank ? Should I remove filter to be on "Wet Mode" ? Because, sand will we wet. Thank you
That is something I have never encountered and I’m not quite sure what the best way to do. It would be depending on how big your tank is I’m assuming yours is fairly large and you can’t tip it on the side to pour it out. I’m not sure what the best solution would be good luck. Thanks for watching.
Btw..i took a peek at your other how2s..ty..im old & dont trust myself much..so i have 2 remind myself..good stuff..new tech makes me feel i have reached my level of ineptitude. Glad u post.
@@TomLeeman i used mine with the filter on and it ruined it even after the filter was dry it wouldnt work properly idk why. If i took the filter off it worked normally
I would recommend buying a half hp submersible water pump and using a swimming pool hose to do that I don’t believe this back could handle that thanks for watching
It worked. I just cleaned up some loose oil/antifreeze from a oil spill in the crevice of my motor. Also sucks up the debri so it wont fall down into the valve openings.
I had oil spilled in the trunk of my 1989 prelude and I cleaned it up and drained it into a gallon jug. No shop vac used but it took 6 hourd because oil is sticky. Dawn dish soap helps
Yes. Just make sure to keep watch of water cause it's a 4 gallon vac. Dump it at close to full then vacuum some more. Repeat till done. Remember to remove filter. They do have a wet vac filter but you done need it long as you stay aware of water level.
I recommend not I have a shopvac and I've done that to it several times and what actually happens is that foam bubbles go into the motor and spit water out the exhaust and then my motor started sounding funny
Love it. You explain things like I’m 10 years old and that really helps haha! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Exactly :-)
He does that for ALL the eleven years old kids, not just you.

Thanks for that information. Great tips appreciate it. Happy holidays and thanks for watching.
Awesome didnt know this thought we. Had to put the black screen over the flter thank you for the great tips🎉
Don’t vacuuum up cat litter, forget to dump it and then vacuum up water….
Excellent tip thanks for watching lol
So I don’t have to buy the water filter they sell just take the fine dust one off?
I would use the water filter
Yes, you don’t wanna have the filter on it they have a special cover. It’s like foam that usually comes with the vacuum that you can put over that area but if you leave the filter on we’ll get soaking wet.
Maybe somebody else mentioned it. For completeness, after rinsing out the orange bucket with water, why not rinse out the hose as well.
Yes good idea in the hose to
I didn't mention it, but I also noticed it.

It worlks great but will only take in a couple gallons and then it starts spitting it out so you have to drain it if your doing a big spill
My second baap, you saved me
Glad to help enjoy your ridge shop vac
There's actually a foam filter you're supposed to use with water.
I lost mine
It's says in the manual you can take the filter out an use it for water. Probably best to just get the filter though.
Without the foam, any filth in the water can get up against the blower intake and even inside the motor. Not much risk from that fairly clean water from a dishwasher.
Tyvm. I lost 2 fake nails & had to check the drain b4 i have to call a plumber..it also remover hair. 😁💋
You are welcome I hope you found your nails

3 prongs

@@destroyerofsimps6574 Interestingly, the vacuum he has in his video has two prongs!
I had the filtre while suckung water and the filtre was not good anymore
Thanks
No filter when cleaning up water!

@@TomLeeman Ok no worry, I asked because every guy I saw on video that were changing their pool filter sand used exactly a Shop Vac like this
Thank you. You wouldn't believe how I was trying to remove the filter. Good ole utube came through again.
Glad I could help
Btw..i took a peek at your other how2s..ty..im old & dont trust myself much..so i have 2 remind myself..good stuff..new tech makes me feel i have reached my level of ineptitude. Glad u post.
Thanks I appreciate that and thanks for watching
Do I need to put on a foam sleeve?
It would be a good idea if you have it I could not find mine and I did this job good luck thanks for watching
@@TomLeeman Thank you. Your upload was the best demonstration of how to use. Thank you.
lifesaver!!
Good luck on your cleanup. Thanks for watching.
Spits out a little from other end when vacuuming water. Is that normal. ?
Its filled up have to empty it
Im guessing if you run it with the filter it just ruins your filter?
It gets it all wet
@@TomLeeman i used mine with the filter on and it ruined it even after the filter was dry it wouldnt work properly idk why. If i took the filter off it worked normally
Don’t you need the wet filter?
Yeah you’re supposed to have that but I couldn’t find mine so I just went ahead and did it and it worked
@@TomLeeman ok I'm using it with out a filter for how but have one on order.
Nize
Thanks and thanks for watching
Thanks. Answered a serious question I had
Glad I could help. Good luck with your clean up.
Thank you! Very helpful!
You are welcome and thank you for watching
My channel sub'd to your channel ✓ Love learning "how to do stuff with stuff" 💡
Thanks for the sub!
Why did you take off the hose my dude? 😂
clean it out
can i use it with a back hose like a pump for continuous water flow for a flooded basement?
I would recommend buying a half hp submersible water pump and using a swimming pool hose to do that I don’t believe this back could handle that thanks for watching
No, because there is a float inside that plugs the fan if the tanks gets full. It can handle a little mist but not pure water.
@@iverburl Yeh i finally figured it out. I just have to fill it up and dump it each time.
thanks save my life today.
Glad I could help thanks for watching
Thanks for this video it helped a lot
Glad that I could help good luck with your vacuum and thanks for watching
Im using mine for some oil clean up. But im gonna put some water in it first to so it wont be messy inside of it.
I’ve never cleaned up oil I’m not sure how that will work but good luck
It worked. I just cleaned up some loose oil/antifreeze from a oil spill in the crevice of my motor. Also sucks up the debri so it wont fall down into the valve openings.
Why not putting a trash bag inside instead? A black contractor trash bag
I had oil spilled in the trunk of my 1989 prelude and I cleaned it up and drained it into a gallon jug. No shop vac used but it took 6 hourd because oil is sticky. Dawn dish soap helps
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Enjoy your shop vac and thanks for watching
Can this be used to suck up aquarium water?
I guess? thanks for watching
Yes. Just make sure to keep watch of water cause it's a 4 gallon vac. Dump it at close to full then vacuum some more. Repeat till done. Remember to remove filter. They do have a wet vac filter but you done need it long as you stay aware of water level.
Remove the fish first.
So glad it's so simple 👍 I'm changing water in bottom of my veggie grow tower. This is way faster than my syphon!
Good luck!
Can you do this when you shampoo a car seat?
Only one way to find out give it a try
I recommend not I have a shopvac and I've done that to it several times and what actually happens is that foam bubbles go into the motor and spit water out the exhaust and then my motor started sounding funny
@@sarahsmith1575 did you have a wet filter in? I want to try it with a filter but don't know its its safe
👍👏👏👏👏🙋♂️
thanks
I like it.nice and easy.k.i.s.s.
Yes, thank you
Thanks a lot 😊
Doesn't ANYBODY read the manual?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Apparently not
No I don’t want to bug him, he’s working in the back
I got mine used. Didn’t come with a manual. I didn’t want to ruin it.
