Nickel-plated surfaces give this 2/3oz (18g) Dixie Jet a timeless reflective quality that stands out in any vintage tackle collection. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7cm), the spoon's teardrop geometry is stamped from solid metal and features a distinct embossed fish graphic on the convex side. Produced by the Dayton Bait Company in the USA, this specimen carries the product code 3055 and presents itself in 4/5 condition, with the metallic finish maintaining a bright, even luster across its body. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring, a configuration suited for heavy-duty casting or vertical jigging applications. A single, precisely drilled hole at the narrow end serves as the line attachment point, ensuring the lure maintains its intended orientation. Collectors will appreciate the crispness of the stamping and the solid weight of the piece, which speaks to the mid-century era of American lure manufacturing.
