Museum Archive: Vintage Castana Boone, 1/3oz Red / White fishing lure #7643

A classic Red / White two-tone finish defines this 1/3 oz (10 g) surface popper, featuring a bright head paired with a cream-colored body. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the lure bears the 'BOONE CASTANA' stamp clearly on its underside, a hallmark of the USA-based company’s craftsmanship. The hardware setup includes two belly-mounted treble hooks attached with sturdy surface rigs, designed for durability during topwater strikes. For the 7643 model, the cupped mouth profile is the primary design feature intended for surface displacement. Maintaining a solid 4/5 condition, the paint remains bright across the body with only minor signs of age visible on the metal eyelets and hook points. This specific weight of 1/3 oz (10 g) makes it a versatile choice for anglers targeting species in shallow flats or near surface cover.
