This ever happen to you?

[CALVINIST]

I was tying a 1/80th oz. pink jig onto my line in the basement. I dropped the jig onto the green carpeted floor from a height of about three feet. I looked for that jig for 15 minutes. Gone. So where can a jig go? It could not have gone very far!

[hanson]

LOL! Good times!

I was actually tying a jig on, Optic Stealth with a chartreuse Nuggie, and dropped it on the ice. Now we're talking white/blue ice with no snow cover and a chartreuse jig. I gave up after five minutes of looking. Best I can figure is it hopped into the hole when I wasn't looking because it sure wasn't on the ice.

Your Mrs will find it when she's walking around with no shoes on!!!

[The Grebe]

Yup, she'll find it, and then he'll get it! Either that, or the cat or the dog will come in limping and guess what is making them limp?

That weird stuff happens to me all the time....I'll be working on the truck, drop a bolt and it disappears?

Look as I might, I can't find it, only to turn up later, stuck in our toaster up in the closet?

Usually, if I'm under the hood of the truck and I drop a little socket and can't locate it, I immediately walk down to the end of the driveway, walk down to the end of the block to the storm drain and there it is! I never try to reason how it got there.

It's the same with the ice jigs...your out on the ice, you got on your bibs and your cold weather gear, you drop a bright red jig and it magically disappears.

A week later at the kids Barmitzvah, you reach into the pocket of your dress pants and guess what jabs you a good one under the fingernail?

I don't know man, I think there are some kind of imps at work here? A man thing?

That's because after you find it, you stop looking, hence making it the last place! I had a couple of bull-headed coworkers having that debate for weeks; man, did that ever get old.

It should be right next to those missing socks and car keys!

In my case the wife would have swooped in and grabed it before I could start looking for it. Then she would have put it on the top shelf of the food cubboard right behind the honey but just in front of the tea bags, Which is usually where I find my missing stuff!

[Gezusismyking]

i think it could be those darn lawn gnomes eager to get out for the spring... i catch them in my bathroom every now and then stealing my TP..

I was just on Lake of the Woods recently.

Sitting there in my chair, cut the line with a pliers, set the pliers down, tied a new jig on and..... Where the heck are my pliers? I sat there, looked all around me. There was nothing on the floor to hide it. I looked on the shelf next to where I was sitting. Everyone in the house agreed, the fish house ate my pliers. So I stand up to go get a pair from another guy....

Plop. Right down the hole they went. They were sitting on my lap.

Story of my life. Can't see dump, if you put it right in front of my flippin nose.

you stole the story of my life!!

I just found my GPS after searching for 6 months. I was sure it was gone. And anyone who knows me knows I am anal retentive about packing and unpacking gear with a spot for everything. I couldn't believe I lost it.

My wife had it in her nightstand bottom drawer she never uses....I think she was hiding it!! j/k

[pathogen]

Reading about disappearing stuff reminded me about a webpage that is very entertaining. I hope it's ok to post this link, it's not an ad or a commercial site, just weird phenomena:

Duplicate the drop, as it happened, and watch where it goes. That's worked for me in the past.

[chris63]

Could be Gremlins,but I think it's the work of Aleums.

[2dalake]

Keep looking in wider circles. You'd be surprised how far something like that can bounce. The hook should be magnetic, pass a magnet over the area, but watch the surface when you do in case the hook has snagged.

[CALVINIST]

Well, I went to the place I lost the jig. Looked for less than a minute, and there it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a little farther that I thought

[WalleyeGod]

That "black hole" has a bunch of my stuff. For sure full of pencils,pens, pennies, lots of those small nuts and washers you never have extras of, etc. Like has been said,

unfortunately you may find it the hard way, if at all. Good luck.

Reminds me of what comedian Mitch Hedberg says- he saw a boxing commercial that said it was going to be a "fight to the finish" Mitch said that was a good place to stop.
