I think it's a Trumper Specialized, closed face, black market edition.
Steve, why don't you run for President? We could use some humor.

It's out there, just don't read the Newspaper or watch the News! :roll:

BTW, it's a Tica Sportera in all black. :mrgreen:
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Take a look at how he is holding the rod. Does anyone else hold the rod with all the fingers below the reel or do most if not all have two fingers in front of the reel seat shaft and two behind the shaft. Does this guy really fish, shirtless no less, or is it just a posed shot?

He has to hold it that way to flex his muscles. This is a narcissist we're talking about! No ego here.
I wonder about the cross necklace.

Betty,
He has to do a lot more work on those pectoralis muscles. A lot of bench presses with serious weights or thousands of push ups would improve the look of his chest.

In my gym more than one person would tell him to put his shirt back on.
