bobby b. Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 What color and size do you think is best particularly for the Dixie Jet for vertical fishing? Thanks Bobby
Members Nimrod Nick Posted June 21, 2016 Members Posted June 21, 2016 3/4 oz. Works good for me, chrome when sunny, gold & white for overcast. The Dixie is good, but a slab spoon works better for deep vertical fishing. Pure speculation on my part. I will cast and let the jet sink or use in 20'-25'. Any deeper for vertical war eagle, Shorty's, Hopkins, ect. Slab style spoons in 1/2 or 3/4 oz. bobby b. 1
m&m Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 bobby b, the Dixie is a flutter spoon. I use it around docks or when I see bass busting shad in a school on top of the water. You have to keep it handy because those schools are up and then gone very quickly. I pitch it into a boat slip or around a dock and let it flutter down slowly to trigger a strike.

Bill Babler Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 The traditional Dixie Jet was a Flutter Spoon, but Tom Murphy the current owner has expanded the line and has been making a Jigging Spoon in a multitude of colors including pink, under the Dixie Jet flag for about 10 yrs. now. You can see the entire line at Sportsmans Outfitters in Springfield. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Sore Thumbs Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Bill. Do you know if he sells to Hook,Line and Sinker? Any stores in NW Arkansas? I'd like to try a few.Â
Bill Babler Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Thumbs, I know they carry the full line at Rock Creek in Harrison, but you can order anything you want a www.basswishes.com Nimrod Nick 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Champ188 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 HLS carries the Dixie Jet flutter spoons but I don't believe they have the slabs.
Bill Babler Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Don't know that you can beat the War Eagle slabs or the Cabalas Real Image for that matter. Nimrod Nick 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
