For many years, companies tried unsuccessfully to reproduce the legendary Dixie Jet Spoons of the 1960s with their unique fall and sound reverberations underwater. But none succeeded in reproducing the “Original,” until now. Thanks to Basswishes Tackle Company (BWTC), LLC and Dixie Jet Lures (DJL), LLC located in Richland, Missouri, the Dixie Jet Spoons are now a Registered Trademark and are back and better than ever. These products are currently sold in over 75 tackle stores throughout the United States, Bass Pro Shops, Tackle Warehouse and in early 2019 Cabela’s. For more information, click here.

Dixie Jet Spoons are 100% manufactured, assembled, packaged and shipped in the United States. Dixie Jet Lures, LLC was founded by Tom Murphy, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, who served twenty-five years on active duty. Tom’s desire to bring the legendary Dixie Jet Spoon back to life was predicated on the fact that every aspect of these spoons had to be made with precision and every component in the manufacturing process had to take place within the United States using American labor The spoons are manufactured in two locations; Isle, Minnesota and Midway, Arkansas. Most of the spoons are manufactured with Marine grade brass and the slab spoons are made with pure lead. In all, Dixie Jet Lures has a minimum of thirty-three people involved in the manufacturing, assembly, packaging, invoicing, sales and shipping of its products.
