Good haul and choices. I had two rods stolen from my boat last year….both Jordan Lee Abu rods….the 6’10’ top water and a winch rod….paired with Shimano slx dc…so people up here loved em apparently as much as I did. One day I’ll replace em--spent too much on the boat already and need to make sure the missus doesn’t kill me hahahah. Best of luck and great video Jordan!
I think daiwa and shimano dominate the reel market and I strictly use megabass rods but man you're living the dream, making a living doing what you love. Hell, if ugly stick and 13 gave me free rods and reels every year, you bet your ass I'd tell everyone they were the best ever made.
I bought a Jordan Lee Signature rod for top water. Its pretty nice. I found the Jordan Lee combo rod but no reel. Paired it with my older Abu Garica Orra winch 5:4 ratio. I use it for cranks and swimbaits. I caught a lot of fish on that setup! The Veritas line is still my favorite.
Really enjoyed your video. First time watching. I have been your fan since you won the Bass Classic 2 years in a row. I thought wow, He is so young and talented. Well, anyway, you make a living doing this so you have to have the right equipment. Stay on top of your game plan. I wish you the best. After I saw you, Hank Parker, Mark Daniels Jr. and Skeet Reese and some others run Ranger boats I told my wife of 54 years. We drove to St Cloud, Fl. 90 miles from my home. We walked into the Ranger dealership and saw this beautiful Ranger on the showroom floor. My wife just stared at me gazing at this rig. I looked at her as she looked at me. She said "is this it"? I said it is going to be expensive. She saw the way I looked at that rig. She said, "I want you to be happy with a bass rig". She doesn't know much about bass boats but she is smart. I said it is a dream rig. Good, the salesman walked over not knowing us and asked if he could help. My wife said to get this Ranger ready for my husband. They walked off and she wrote him a check for the boat. I went out of my mind. I acted like a 10 year old boy getting his first bicycle. It now sits in my garage and I am always shinning it all the time. I once took the cowling into my family room to wax it while I watched TV. Am I crazy or what. My wife sits beside me and just smiles. She is an angel. Been together since High School. End of story.
Haters are not paying your bills. Run the gear that best works for you. If it’s a 100$ rod or a $500 rod. It’s putting food on the table. Same reason service technicians buy snap on. Yeah harbor freight will do the job. But snap on can do it mostly better and faster than most harbor freight
don't apologize for being successful, everyone in the USA has the same ability to succeed at their dream!!! besides, you are a bass fishing stud to boot!!
I'm definitely starting to get cabin fever. Usually I can make it to about February before it really kicks in hard. I did load up on your discontinued rods off tacklewarehouse though
@@jordanlee1180100% especially on bigger glides (tall shad profiles) it takes more to get them going so you want that fast gear ratio unless you wanna wind like crazy. And if your fishing the popular chop style baits you wanna work em fast and be able to pick up a lot of like you can get it done on a 6:8:1 but 7:31-8:1:1 is the sweet spot imo
I ordered several of your rods. They are pretty sweet for the price. As a yak fisher the handles are a bit long for me but for them being half off you could not pass it up.
Great content jordan.. sure wish abu would let each pro design a rod or 2 an cover every thing it takes from a to z to catch a fish with in the 100 ..150 dollar price point good luck this season
Im surprised you didn’t tell Abu Garcia to kicks rocks and went with another company. Abu Garcia did a terrible job marketing your rod line up and reels. You are a big name in the sport, if someone told me I wasn’t. I would have left. But maybe you are still under contract but I think they should have gave you a J.Lee 2.0 line after the year you had.
Ive noticed Abu and many other companies are starting to look very similar to a Shimano reel, anyway ive fished Abu my entire life they've always been quality and workhorses
You would be a better fisherman than you are if you had some high end rods and reels like G loomis, megabass or even Shimano. Change the reels to Shimano. I know they sponsor you but those are not even close to high end. Just wish you could feel the difference. Just might win you more tournaments in the future. A night and day difference. Anyway tight lines my friend.
anyone complaining..... what do you do for work and do you love using shit tools that make your everyday life harder???? .... of course a pro needs the highest end stuff!
@@jordanlee1180 HAHA!! I know what you mean. It was great meeting you when you came to the office when you were in Tulsa for the Redcrest. I'll be rooting for you this season. Hope you do well!
Man don’t have to justify what you get…..you making a living doing what you love bro!!!! Good luck this year…!! 👊🏽
You are right…. I know better. Shouldn’t even said it. Thanks for the comment 💯
“Everybody likes new reels”…You got that right! Good luck this year (from Decatur)!!!
Yes,.. it's like Christmas every time I get a new reel... The funny thing is... Christmas is all year long...the buying never stops...🤗🙃😊
“I got rods missing 3 eyes missing and I’ll send that thing in a tournament, no problemo “ hahaha I love this dawg!

I'm kinda mad I didn't get afew of your signature combos. Thanks for the video.

I love the rocket. 10:1 burning a trap, Choppo buzzbait
Great stuff as always . Like the Abu stuff
True fan. Met at Bass U after your 2nd Classic. Id still like to add your Jersey to my collection. Best of luck this year and take care!

Love it Roger!! Sounds like you found your soulmate. A great woman.
Very good JLee you deserve it you know where you came from
Crazy you feel the need to justify this. Love the humility, think it’s why you’re a fan favorite. Good luck in 2025
Good Luck this year Jordon!

I just got a couple of your spinning reels and they are nice!!
All you will find in my boat is Abu Garcia , and I have several of your rods in the boat for my clients. They have been bullet proof
That's awesome!
don't apologize for being successful, everyone in the USA has the same ability to succeed at their dream!!! besides, you are a bass fishing stud to boot!!
Love my Jordan Lee orange rod for top water and crankin
I'm definitely starting to get cabin fever. Usually I can make it to about February before it really kicks in hard. I did load up on your discontinued rods off tacklewarehouse though
you the man
I got 3 Winch rods….cranks, poppers, choppo and Chatterbaits. Feel is unparalleled in other models.
I'm excited about chunking them!
It’s a JDM model but the Zenon Beast is the most slept on “big bait” reel on the market! It’s the lightest big bait reel on the market. Get ya one!
yes that's a sweet reel! I don't have any but thought about ordering one. You think high speed for a glide?

Also got a bunch of your reels as well. Which model are they designed after ?
Can't you please do a full video on the Berkley flurocarbon line please tell us more about your experience with it thanks 😊
yessir I will
Would really appreciate it 😊
kids. Lol you said it... One more on order...
lol I don't know if I can handle it
Two words I love.. tax deductible! Lol
Great content jordan.. sure wish abu would let each pro design a rod or 2 an cover every thing it takes from a to z to catch a fish with in the 100 ..150 dollar price point good luck this season
Which of your rod models that were your favorite?? And what techniques did you use them for??? Good luck this season 🎣, rooting for you brother 💪🏻
I have your signature bait casting reel I just took it to saltwater and caught some big Red drum on it and it performed well
That's awesome!!
I’ll send that thing!
Great video ....What are you using for spinning ????
Abu Garcia Zenon stuff is incredible!!!
I am starting to use some good beat casters Brooke I'm still using open I want to get more better at using a baitcaster
Will there be another signature series rods?
The only problem I have with the zenon rod is the hook keeper is absolute junk. The reels are amazing though. The fantastista rods are my favorite.
Those Fantastista rods don’t get enough love there sweet
I like that don't need that you did read a frog with some riddles for the lakes cuz I did that on the circus in color frog
Abu Garcia is the best on the market!
😂😂😂
You should try the curado dc 200
Dude we need more of the (this lake sucks) hats and shirts.! Are you gonna make any more???
hopefully soon!!
@jordanlee1180 awesome 👌, I been waitin!!!
Im surprised you didn’t tell Abu Garcia to kicks rocks and went with another company. Abu Garcia did a terrible job marketing your rod line up and reels.

You can’t burn bridges in this small industry. Abu is probably still a good sponsor for him
Ive noticed Abu and many other companies are starting to look very similar to a Shimano reel, anyway ive fished Abu my entire life they've always been quality and workhorses
I'd love to fish with something like a Zenon, but I just can't justify it. If I broke the damn thing I'd be devastated
What rods are you using for Punching?
7'11" fantasista X ....
Jordan, people don't understand you're not getting those for free.... your advertising Abu Garcia product! You work for those buddy!
You would be a better fisherman than you are if you had some high end rods and reels like G loomis, megabass or even Shimano. Change the reels to Shimano.
I know they sponsor you but those are not even close to high end. Just wish you could feel the difference. Just might win you more tournaments in the future. A night and day difference. Anyway tight lines my friend.
I have always said to getting something for free or cheaper....My name is Jimmy I'll take what you give me. LOL!!!
You've got your camera reversed.
make a crappie video
anyone complaining..... what do you do for work and do you love using shit tools that make your everyday life harder???? .... of course a pro needs the highest end stuff!
Kids???????? Do you have something to tell us????
"KID"----- LOL. I can't handle more
@@jordanlee1180 HAHA!! I know what you mean. It was great meeting you when you came to the office when you were in Tulsa for the Redcrest. I'll be rooting for you this season. Hope you do well!
