The Beginning.
From the early 60's, Dixie Jet Spoons have been catching all species of fish in clear water & salt water. Fish have proven time-and-again that a Dixie Jet Spoon is the best choice.
early 1970's
Production Stopped.
The early 70's was a troubling time for Dixie Jet. Production completely halted with the death of its founder and the last of the Dixie Jet Spoons were quickly disappearing.

Bringing Back The Legend.

One Soldier's Dream
Dixie Jet Lures was brought back by Tom Murphy, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, who served twenty-five years on active duty.
Tom’s mission to revive the legendary Dixie Jet Spoon was driven by his commitment to precision craftsmanship and the belief that every step of the process—from design to production—should take place entirely within the United States to uphold the highest standards in fishing tackle.
