Top 5 Best New Fishing Products

A comeback is best described as “coming from behind to take the win.” For that to happen in a bass tournament, a few critical components must be present, one of which is the right bait. The world saw this scenario play out in grand fashion as Mossy Oak Fishing pro Jordan Lee came from way behind to eventually win the 2017 Bassmaster Classic. Jordan had all of the right components, including the bait. And, you can have it too with the all-new J-Lee Comeback Jig.

“Over the years I’ve come to rely on a stand-up style jig with a round rubber skirt to get big bites. When paired with the right trailer, that jig has a profile that bigger bass can’t resist,” said back-to-back 2017/2018 Bassmaster Classic Champion, Jordan Lee. “We took every possible detail into account when we designed and built the Comeback Jig. From the head, to the line tie, to the hook, to the skirt, this is the best version of this jig I’ve ever thrown. It is the perfect tool to catch big bass and maybe stage the comeback you’ve always dreamed of.”

The J-Lee Comeback Jig comes in 4 sizes (3/8, ½, ¾ & 1 oz.) and 6 round rubber skirt colors. You will be able to find it at your favorite retailer early this fall.
