COLUMBIA, S.C. — He’s one of only four anglers to ever win back-to-back Bassmaster Classic championships and has carried his reputation as a formidable competitor to the MLF Bass Pro Tour where he won Heavy Hitters and the Angler of the Year award in 2020. In the offseason, Lee helped design a new signature line of rods and reels for Abu Garcia, gear tailored to his exacting standards and suited for his technique-specific approach.
The line features four baitcasting reels (right- and lefthanded configurations in both standard and high speed), two spinning reels, and 14 different technique specific rods. Designed for serious bass anglers, the baitcast reels deliver 10+1 stainless-steel ball bearings for extreme smoothness, a one-piece graphite frame and sideplates. The Abu Garcia Jordan Lee spinning reels (Sizes 20 and 30) feature 6+1 stainless-steel HPCR bearings for smoothness and a Carbon Matrix drag system that remains smooth across all settings. A machined-aluminum, braid-ready spool and the Rocket Line Management System round out this well-appointed spinning reel.
Abu Garcia Jordan Lee rods are constructed of 30-ton graphite for a lightweight, balanced design as well as the Robotically Optimized Casting System guide train to maximize casting distance and a Winn split-grip design. With 12 technique-specific casting rods designed for everything from jerkbaits to large crankbaits along with a pair of technique-specific spinning rods, the Jordan Lee rod lineup helps anglers match their gear to their presentation and gives them everything they need to get the fish to the boat.
