Do you own strange or bizarre fishing gear?

I collect tennis rackets, this is my strangest.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367212400.106731.jpg
I don't have any strange gear like those helicopter jigs or anything. What strange or gimmicky stuff do you have.
And yes I get the strangest looks when I hit with one of those rackets.

No strange fishing gear here, unless you count catching a fatty trout on a 1/2 oz saltwater firetiger-patterned spoon with a 4/0 treble hook! I was just playing with it to get a feel for its sink and presentation at different retrieve speeds. Felt it load up and had a pleasant surprise when it hit the surface. I was using 10lb braid at the time, so I just reeled it all the way back. No fight whatsoever - just felt like a lot of dead weight.

So what is the "story" behind that racket? It looks like the asymmetric sweetspot would be unbalanced and difficult to hit a good topspin (or backspin) shot.

It is a Snauwaert Ergonom. It is perfectly balanced and is meant to have the racket face tilted up when you hold it parallel to the court. It hits just fine, it is flexible compared to today's rackets. It is from the early eighties.
