What's in your vise?

I think I’ll take the kids out for pond stockers tomorrow. It seems like trolling little leeches works better than anything else for those fish. Fits with my kids’ attention spans, too. We are still in the “snacks are the highlight” phase so I’m still just trying to invest now for dividends later.

Not really. I've fished the commercial Smile Blade "flies" trolled on lakes and they consistently bring up big Trout. Propellers on flies have been around for along time. I'll fish this one as a chum fry for Sea Runs and see what happens.Shirley you joke, sir!!!
Looks like a Pistol Pete!

Ok, my attempt at levity seems to be misplaced. I'd hoped to at least get a "and Don't Call Me Shirley" in response.
Interesting to me to see a prop fly.

I knew a guy who would fish with one beyond a casting bubble on a spinning rod. It was deadly, but probably because they were stupid stocker fish, as @Tom Butler appropriately names them.
