Museum Archive: Vintage Dayton Bait Company Dixie BAT, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #0750

Two bright yellow feather trailers define the rear profile of this Dayton Bait Company classic. Stamped into a distinctive bat-wing shape, the nickel-finished body measures 2" (5 cm) and weighs 1/2 oz (13 g), providing plenty of heft for reaching distant targets. This American-made Dixie BAT, identified by product code 0750, features a single large treble hook and dual feathered appendages attached to separate rear corners. The metal surface remains bright, earning this piece a 4/5 condition rating for its well-maintained plating and intact dressings. It reflects a period when the Dayton Bait Company focused on heavy-duty hardware designed for serious casting.
