When the wife and I go to Pismo Beach she likes to hit up all the antique shops, I’ll only buy from there so it gives me something to look for as well. I don’t go out of my way to find them like eBay or Craigslist. We go to Pismo about once a year, so I’ll only buy one if I come across any.

I used to actually use those jitterbugs when I was a kid.
I remember as a kid an ad for a red wing blackbird jitterbug with a largemouth bass jumping out of the water snatching a red wing blackbird off a branch. Thought it was so cool and wanted one real bad.
But like looch said, I don't think I've ever caught anything on a jitterbug either. [Reply]

My wife seems to like rocks as well, her dad being a geologist might have something to do with it maybe, just picked up a bunch of large fuchsite for the garden for some odd reason recently. [Reply]
I collect pins for all the places we visit. They look nice, are pretty cheap, and are good way to display wherever you visit without taking up much space. Usually do similar with magnets as well. [Reply]
Up in my attic I have a Hot Wheels collection and several baseball cards that I have no idea who I have.
Also have a Stomper collection. They sell for $100 + @ piece in good shape, lol.
Luckily I always wrapped my stuff with paper towels, rags to cut down on scratches, lol.
Now, it's rc. I have a few trucks from a manufacturer that was sued over its design and quit selling in US because of a shady patent judge in Texas. [Reply]
And speaking of rocks.
We were downtown Portland @ the new Chinese garden setting large rocks they shipped in from China.
Yep, I had to ask for a couple "throw aways". Chinaman dude loled at me and pointed at all the rocks in staging area. I just got a couple but figured why not, everything else we own come from China, lol. [Reply]
Evel Knievel memorabilia and toys etc. (my favorite piece is two X-rays of his broken bones that I bought from his estate when he passed away)
And old flashlights.
Used to collect Handheld electronic games from the 70's/80's, BURGIE! beer memorabilia, and electronic motion beer signs. Sold off all that stuff in the early 2000's [Reply]

I was sold on those banjo minnow infomercials. [Reply]

I never caught a thing on it.
Great, great lure. You gotta use them when they are hitting on Topwater tho. I prefer Hula Poppers, but Jitterbugs are pretty damned fun too. And hour before and after Dawn/Dusk in the Summertime, at least on the small lake I fish, is a great topwater bite. [Reply]

Luckily, we had a boy, so he just wants to take all of the rocks home...lol. [Reply]
