Museum Archive: Vintage Dayton Bait Company Dixee Jet, 2/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #7515

Polished to a high-luster Nickel finish, the 2 1/4" (5.7cm) teardrop-shaped body of this Dayton Bait Company spoon reflects light with a mirror-like quality. Weighing 2/3oz (18g), the Dixee Jet, identified by product code 7515, is a heavy-casting classic built for durability. This specific specimen is unused and maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showing no signs of age or storage wear. The construction features a robust split ring at the rear which secures a sharp, silver-toned treble hook, while the nose is cleanly punched for a secure line tie. Dayton Bait Company produced these during an era where solid metal construction was prized by anglers for reaching distance, and this rarity remains exactly as it would have looked when first leaving the factory. The concave inner surface and convex outer shell provide the structural profile common to mid-century spoon designs.
