From my last picture some suggested that I should be trolling for liberals and socialist, so I rigged out some flip-flops for the flip floppers. They were made in China about the only place kerry / edwards should be trying to get elected.
On kerry's tackle I have a 7 foot Ugly stick with Shimano Calcutta 400, 20lb test and a ba circle hook. Oh, by the way, ba stands for big ass. That should handle an ugly asshole like kerry. I used no leader as the fish we are after are like the French, no teeth. Being they have big mouths they will fit in with the ba circle hook well. The 20 lb test should work cause their ain't much fight in kerry, just a little drag as he runs away from a fight.
As far as the edwards rigged rod it is custom built 7 footer by my fishin buddy Dale for trout, but should work on a lightweight like edwards. The reel, a Shimano Curado, is too good a reel for dragging in trash fish, but I guess we are slummin now, aren't we. Rigged with 12 lb test and another ba circle hook. Could probably use a bigger hook as much as that lawyer smiles and talks. Got to be carefull with the edwards fish his mouth is tender like a trouts. He's been eating too much trout, trouser trout that is.
The only thing I may have missed is a little sinker weight because after all we are going after bottom feeders. But like some turds, they seem to have risen to the top of the slop bucket.
Wish me luck in my fishing, just like gafftop, I doubt Dale will let me bring them in the boat.
