Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fishing lure used for fishing. Background Art

[0002] In the past, so-called bait fishing is known, which uses a lure to catch a target fish. The angler casts the lure and operates the fishing rod, while operating the lure in a manner that simulates the movements of small fish, crustaceans, insects, etc., which are used as bait, and retrieves the lure. In this way, the target fish is lured to bite the lure.

[0003] In addition, in the above-mentioned bait fishing, there is a case where a so-called large bait (hereinafter referred to as a large bait) is used (see Patent Document 1). The large bait generally refers to a bait with a total length of about 200 mm or more and a weight of 2 oz (about 57 g) or more, and there are also large ones with a total length of more than 300 mm and a weight of more than 10 oz. The large bait has attracted much attention in recent years as a bait suitable for carnivorous fish such as black bass in freshwater and sea bass in seawater.

[0004] There are various lures in different shapes and sizes on the market. For example, there are known lures that imitate the shape of the lure used as a prey. As such lures, in order to achieve a realistic movement in water, there are known hard lures formed by connecting a plurality of body parts formed of hard materials (see Patent Document 1), soft lures formed partially or entirely of soft materials (see Patent Document 2), and the like. Prior art literature

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-216657 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-22307

[0006] In the past, hard lures were used to bend the body parts at the connection parts of the divided body parts, so as to realize the real movement of the lure. However, the hard lure is bent in a way that the body as a whole is bent at the connection part, so the movement is unnatural and lacks authenticity. In addition, in the past, soft lures were used to bend the part formed by the soft material due to the force received during the recovery, so as to realize the real movement of the lure. However, the soft lure moves regularly during the recovery, so the movement is unnatural and lacks authenticity. Summary of the invention

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing lure and an exterior member for the fishing lure that can realize the realistic movement of the lure.

[0008] A fishing lure according to one aspect of the present invention includes: a core body; and a swinging member attached to the core body, formed of a sheet-like soft material, and capable of swinging relative to the core body.

[0009] An exterior member according to another aspect of the present invention constitutes the exterior of a fishing lure, is detachably attached to a core of the fishing lure, and is formed of a sheet-like soft material.

[0010] According to the present invention, the fishing lure can realize the real movement of the lure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiment described below is merely an example of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0013] [First embodiment] Figure 1 It is a side view showing the fishing lure 10 (an example of the fishing lure of the present invention) according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] The fishing lure 10 (hereinafter referred to as "lure 10") is a lure used to lure the target fish to bite the hook in bait fishing such as sea bass fishing and sea fishing. The lure 10 is a relatively large lure, for example, the total length is about 300 mm. In addition, the shape and size of the lure 10 shown in the present embodiment are only examples, and the fishing lure of the present invention is not limited to the shape and size exemplified by the lure 10.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the lure 10 is formed in a shape imitating a bait that is preyed upon by a target fish. Specifically, the lure 10 is formed in a shape imitating a preyed fish (bait fish).

[0016] In addition, the shape of the lure 10 is not limited to imitating the shape of the bait fish, and can also imitate the shape of various creatures such as squid, shrimp, crab, frog, tadpole, lizard, worm (worm), etc. In addition, the shape of the lure 10 is not limited to imitating the shape of the bait. The lure 10 can also be a shape completely different from the shape of the bait.

[0017] The lure 10 generally includes a core body 11 (an example of the core body of the present invention) and an exterior body 12 (an example of the swing member or exterior member of the present invention).

[0018] The core 11 is disposed inside the lure 10 and is a core component of the lure 10. The core 11 is formed of a hard resin material such as ABS resin. The core 11 is formed to be about half the length of the entire length of the lure 10.

[0019] The outer body 12 is mounted on the core body 11. In the present embodiment, the outer body 12 is detachably mounted on the core body 11. The outer body 12 is an outer covering member that at least constitutes the outer surface (exterior covering surface) of the lure 10. The outer body 12 is formed of a sheet-like soft material. The outer body 12 is formed to be about twice the length of the entire length of the core body 11. A portion of the front side of the outer body 12 is detachably mounted on the core body 11. In the present embodiment, the core body 11 is arranged on the front side of the hollow portion inside the outer body 12. Therefore, in a state where the outer body 12 is mounted on the core body 11, a tail portion 121 (an example of an extension portion of the present invention) extending from the vicinity of the center in the front-to-back direction of the outer body 12 to the rear end portion of the outer body 12 extends rearward from the rear end portion 431 of the core body 11. Thus, when the lure 10 is thrown into the water, the outer body 12 moves in an irregular swing relative to the core body 11 due to the force generated when the fishing rod is operated, the flow of water in the water, the water pressure, etc. In particular, the tail 121 of the outer body 12 moves in an irregular swing due to the extremely small water flow or water pressure.

[0020] Figure 2A and Figure 2B 1 is a diagram showing an outer body 12 of a lure 10. Figure 2A is a side view showing the side surface of the outer casing 12, Figure 2B This is a perspective view of the outer casing 12 as seen from the side and obliquely above. Figure 3 The diagram shows the openings provided in the outer body 12 of the lure 10 .

[0021] The outer body 12 is a part of the outer surface of the lure 10. The interior of the outer body 12 is hollow. In other words, the outer body 12 is formed into a hollow shape by the soft material. The outer body 12 is formed into a shape that imitates the surface shape of the bait fish. That is, the outer body 12 is a body that imitates the epidermis (fish skin) of the bait fish, for example, artificial fish skin (artificial epidermis). Therefore, Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the surface of the outer body 12 has a head 21, pectoral fins 22, pelvic fins 23, anal fins 24, caudal fins 25, fish eyes 26, scales, skin texture (not shown), and a dorsal fin (not shown) as in a real bait fish.

[0022] In the present embodiment, the soft material constituting the outer body 12 is a thin and light cloth (cloth, fabric) formed of natural fibers or artificial fibers. A design imitating the surface shape and surface appearance of bait fish is printed on the surface of the cloth.

[0023] The cloth is exemplified as the soft material constituting the outer body 12, but the soft material is not limited to the cloth. The soft material may be a thin sheet-like material such as a relatively thin cloth, fabric, fabric, gauze, non-woven fabric, film (a material formed into a thin film-like material of a polymer component such as a synthetic resin), and any material may be used as long as it is a soft material. In addition, it is preferred that the soft material is a sheet-like component that has a degree of flexibility to swing when subjected to water flow, water pressure, etc. in water. The soft material may also be a thin resin sheet body.

[0024] The outer body 12 is manufactured by using image data obtained by scanning both sides of a specific bait fish (real object), printing the side image of the bait fish on the cloth, cutting it into the same shape as the real bait fish, and joining the edges of the cut cloths (hereinafter referred to as fish body sheets) to each other. In this way, a three-dimensional outer body 12 having the same shape as the real bait fish and a design similar to the real object is manufactured. The fish body sheets can be joined by various joining methods such as sewing, bonding with an adhesive, and welding with a resin.

[0025] In addition, the outer body 12 may be formed by directly attaching the printed cloth to the real object or its model and cutting it three-dimensionally (three-dimensional cutting) and then joining the cut parts. In addition, the outer body 12 may be formed into a three-dimensional shape by cutting the printed cloth into a flat shape (flat cutting) and then performing processing such as tuck, pleats, and dart (all sewing terms).

[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of openings 31, 32, and 33 are formed in the outer body 12. The opening 31 is an example of a take-out port of the present invention. The opening 32 is an example of an inflow portion of the present invention, and is an example of a front opening of the present invention. The opening 33 is an example of an outflow portion of the present invention, and is an example of a rear opening of the present invention.

[0027] The opening 31 is formed in the upper part of the outer body 12. The opening 31 is formed on the head 21 side in the upper part of the outer body 12. Specifically, it extends from a position slightly separated from the front end 120 of the outer body 12 to a position in front of the dorsal fin (not shown) of the outer body 12. The opening 31 is formed by not joining a part of the upper part of the outer body 12.

[0028] The opening 31 is used as a hollow portion (space) inside the outer body 12 to accommodate the core body 11 or to remove the core body 11 from the outer body 12. Therefore, the opening 31 is formed to have a size that allows the core body 11 to be inserted therethrough.

[0029] A surface fixing member 35 is provided on the outer periphery of the opening 31 for keeping the opening 31 closed. The surface fixing member 35 includes a hook sheet having a plurality of tiny hooks and a loop sheet having a plurality of tiny loops, and these sheets are engaged with each other to close the opening 31. The opening 31 is opened by pulling the hook sheet and the loop sheet apart to release the engagement.

[0030] The surface fixing member 35 is only an example of an opening and closing mechanism (opening and closing means) for opening and closing the opening 31. As the opening and closing mechanism, for example, a point fixing member called a snap button or a dot button, or a sliding wire fixing member (sliding fixing member) can be applied.

[0031] In addition, as an opening and closing mechanism for closing the opening 31 in an openable and closable manner, the following structure can also be applied: the hook sheet is adhered to the upper surface of the core body 11 housed inside the outer body 12, and the ring sheet is installed on the outer periphery of the opening 31, and these sheets are joined to close the surface fixing part 35.

[0032] The opening 31 may be partially opened without being closed by the opening and closing mechanism. In this case, the opening 31 functions as an inflow portion for allowing water to flow into the interior of the outer body 12 during the recovery of the lure 10 .

[0033] The opening 32 is formed at the front end of the outer body 12. The opening 32 is formed at the tip of the head 21 of the outer body 12. The opening 32 can be formed by not joining the tip of the head 21 of the outer body 12. The opening 32 is provided at the tip of the head 21, so if the lure 10 is recovered in the water or on the water surface, water from the front flows into the interior of the outer body 12 from the opening 32.

[0034] The position of the opening 32 is not limited to the tip of the head 21. The opening 32 may be formed at any position of the outer body 12 as long as the water from the front can be sent to the opening 33 described later through the inside of the outer body 12 during recovery. At least, the opening 32 may be formed in the outer body 12 at a position closer to the front than the opening 33 described later.

[0035] In addition, the number of openings 32 is not limited to one, and a plurality of openings 32 may be formed in the outer body 12. For example, a plurality of openings 32 separated vertically or horizontally may be formed at the tip of the head 21. In addition, the tip of the head 21 may be closed, and openings 32 may be formed on both sides of the head 21. In addition, the opening 32 may be formed at the upper part of the head 21 or at the lower part of the head 21.

[0036] The opening 33 is formed at the rear end of the outer body 12. The opening 33 is formed at the rear end of the tail fin 25 of the outer body 12. The opening 33 can be formed by not joining the rear end of the tail fin 25 of the outer body 12. Since the opening 33 is provided at the rear end of the tail fin 25, if the lure 10 is recovered in the water or on the water surface, the water flowing into the inside from the opening 32 flows out from the opening 33 to the outside of the outer body 12.

[0037] In addition, the position of the opening 33 is not limited to the rear end of the tail fin 25. As long as it is a position that allows the water that flows in from the opening 32 and enters the interior of the outer body 12 to be discharged to the outside of the outer body 12 during recovery, the opening 33 may be formed on both sides of the tail fin 25, or may be provided at any position on the surface of the tail portion 121. In addition, the opening 33 may also be formed at both or one of the upper end and the lower end of the tail fin 25. In addition, the opening 33 may also be formed in the portion that extends from the upper end of the tail fin 25 through the rear end to the lower end. That is, as long as it is a position that allows the water that flows in from the opening 32 to be discharged to the outside of the outer body 12, the opening 33 may be formed at any position of the outer body 12.

[0038] In addition, the number of openings 33 is not limited to one, and a plurality of openings 33 may be formed. For example, a plurality of openings 33 separated in the upper and lower directions may be formed at the rear end portion of the tail fin 25. In addition, the rear end portion of the tail fin 25 may be closed, and openings 33 may be formed on both sides of the tail fin 25. In addition, the opening 33 may also be formed at the upper portion of the tail fin 25 or the lower portion of the tail fin 25. At least, the opening 33 may be formed in the outer body 12 at a position further to the rear than the opening 32. In addition, it is preferred that the opening 33 is formed at a position further to the rear than the rear end portion 431 of the core body 11.

[0039] The fish eyes 26 are respectively arranged on both sides of the head 21. The fish eyes 26 are composed of buckles fixed to the fabric. The buckles are so-called plastic snap buckles. The buckles are snap buckle components circulated on the market for the purpose of connecting overlapping parts of shirts or pants to each other, and are composed of a male snap buckle body arranged on the inner side of the outer body 12 and a snap buckle head arranged on the surface side of the outer body 12. A rivet pin is provided on the snap buckle head. In a state where the male snap buckle body is arranged on the inside of the outer body 12 and the snap buckle head is arranged on the surface, the male snap buckle body and the snap buckle head are attached to the fabric of the outer body 12 by performing a riveting process that presses the two against each other. In this embodiment, the snap buckle head presented on the surface of the outer body 12 depicts the appearance of a fish eye.

[0040] In the state where the core body 11 is housed inside the outer body 12 ( Figure 1 In the state shown in the figure), a part of the outer body 12 is engaged with the core body 11. Thus, the outer body 12 is mounted on the core body 11. In this embodiment, the male and female buckle bodies (not shown) provided in the two fish eyes 26 are engaged with the female and female buckle bodies 57 (see the figure) described later provided on the core body 11. Figure 4 ), except for the engagement portion with the female and female buckle body 57, there is no portion where the outer body 12 is fixed to the core body 11. In addition, the buckle and the female and female buckle body 57 are examples of the engagement portion of the present invention.

[0041] In addition, the engagement portion that engages the core 11 with a portion of the outer body 12 is not limited to the engagement mechanism composed of the male and female buckle bodies 57. For example, the surface of the core 11 and the surface of the outer body 12 may be partially engaged by a surface fastener or the like.

[0042] Figures 4 to 7 1 is a diagram showing a core 11 of a lure 10. Figure 4 is a three-dimensional diagram of the core 11, Figure 5 is a side view of the core 11, Figure 6 It is a front view of the core 11.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the core 11 is arranged inside the lure 10 and is provided in a hollow portion inside the outer body 12 .

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the core 11 has a main body 41 that is long in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) of the lure 10. The main body 41 is formed of a hard resin material such as ABS resin. The main body 41 has a bottom surface 411 formed in a substantially flat shape (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 5 ). In addition, if Figure 5As shown, the main body 41 is formed so that the rear portion 43 on the rear side is higher than the front portion 42 on the front side relative to the bottom surface 411. That is, the main body 41 is formed in a shape in which the rear portion 43 is more expanded in the height direction and the width direction than the front portion 42. In addition, the main body 41 is formed in a shape that is tapered toward the front end as a whole.

[0045] In addition, the main body 41 is not limited to being formed by the hard resin material. For example, the main body 41 can be formed by soft resin materials such as wood, metal, silicone or elastomer, rubber, etc. In addition, since the outer body 12 is made of thin cloth and is extremely light, the total weight of the lure 10 is substantially determined by the weight of the main body 41. In order to prevent the main body 41 from being too heavy, it is formed into a hollow shape when the material of the main body 41 is metal. In addition, in the case where the main body 41 is composed of a soft resin material, it is preferred that in order to be able to install the eyelets 47, 48, etc. described later on the main body 41, a metal wire, etc., for installing the eyelets 47, 48, etc., is buried inside the main body 41.

[0046] The spindles 58 and 59 are provided on the core 11. The spindles 58 and 59 are mounted on the bottom surface 411 of the main body 41. The spindles 58 and 59 can be detachably mounted on the bottom surface 411 in a replaceable manner. In addition, the spindles 58 and 59 can also be buried inside the main body 41.

[0047] The tip of the front portion 42 is formed into a tapered shape so as to be exposed to the outside from the opening 32 of the outer body 12. When the male and female buckle bodies of the fisheye 26 of the outer body 12 are mounted on the core body 11, a portion of the tip of the front portion 42 is exposed to the outside from the opening 32. That is, the outer body 12 is mounted on the core body 11 in a state where a portion of the tip of the front portion 42 is exposed to the outside from the opening 32.

[0048] Eyelets 47, 48 are provided at the tip of the front portion 42. Eyelets 47, 48 are fixed to the front portion 42. Figure 1 As shown, in a state where the outer body 12 is attached to the core body 11 , the holes 47 , 48 are exposed to the outside from the opening 32 .

[0049] Eyelets 47, 48 are parts to which the fishing line pulled out from the fishing rod is fixed directly or indirectly by means of a swivel or a snap button, etc. Eyelet 47 is installed on the upper side of the front end of the front part 42, and eyelet 48 is installed on the lower side of the front end of the front part 42.

[0050] In addition, when the eyelet 47 is used for connecting a fishing line, a fish hook can be installed in the eyelet 48. In addition, when the eyelet 48 is used for connecting a fishing line, a fish hook can be installed in the eyelet 47.

[0051] like Figure 5As shown, holes 51 and 52 are provided on the bottom surface 411 of the core body 11. The holes 51 and 52 are fixed to the bottom surface 411 of the core body 11. The holes 51 and 52 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the front-back direction. The holes 51 and 52 can be used for installing fish hooks or can also be used as holes for installing fish sinkers.

[0052] In addition, holes 53 and 54 are provided on the upper part of the core 11. The holes 53 and 54 are fixed to the upper end of the core 11. The holes 53 and 54 are provided at positions corresponding to the opening 31. When the outer body 12 is attached to the core 11, the holes 53 and 54 are exposed to the outside from the opening 31. Fishhooks can be attached to the holes 53 and 54.

[0053] Recesses 56 are formed on both sides of the front portion 42. A female buckle body 57 is fixed inside the recess 56. The female buckle body 57 is fixed to the recess 56 by, for example, an adhesive, a pin, etc. The male buckle body (not shown) of the outer body 12 is engaged with the female buckle body 57, and the outer body 12 is mounted on the core body 11.

[0054] The core 11 has a retaining member 55. The retaining member 55 is a member for maintaining the posture of the outer body 12 in water, especially maintaining the posture of the tail portion 121 of the outer body 12. The retaining member 55 is a linear member such as a wire. The retaining member 55 is, for example, a metal wire, a resin wire, a nylon wire, a steel wire, etc., and is formed of a material with moderate elasticity. One end of the retaining member 55 is fixed to a portion 421 on the front side of the bottom surface 411, and the other end is fixed to a portion 432 on the upper side of the rear end portion 431. In addition, the portion 421 is located at the center of the width direction of the core 11 on the bottom surface 411, and the portion 432 is located at the center of the width direction on the rear end portion 431.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the holding member 55 extends from the portion 421 to the portion 432 in a manner that forms a loop with the surface of the core body 11 (the bottom surface 411 and the surface of the rear end portion 431). Specifically, the holding member 55 bends in the following manner to reach the portion 432 of the rear end portion 431: it extends obliquely rearward from the portion 421, extends rearward below the bottom surface 411, bends upward after extending to the rear of the rear end portion 431, and returns to the front side.

[0056] The holding member 55 is constructed as described above, so that Figure 1 As shown, the core body 11 is accommodated in the interior of the outer body 12, and the outer body 12 is installed on the core body 11 ( Figure 1In the state shown in FIG. 1 , the retaining member 55 is arranged in a space 61 between the bottom surface 411 and the lower portion of the outer body 12, and is further arranged in a space 62 between the rear end portion 431 and the tail portion 121. In other words, the retaining member 55 extends from the core body 11 to the space between the inner surface of the outer body 12 and the surface of the core body 11.

[0057] In the present embodiment, a structure in which one holding member 55 is provided on the core 11 is exemplified, but a plurality of holding members 55 may be provided so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the core 11 .

[0058] In addition, in the present embodiment, a linear member such as a wire is exemplified as the holding member 55, but it may also be, for example, a plate-shaped elastic plate, a coil spring, etc. extending from the portion 421 to the portion 432. In addition, the holding member 55 is not limited to an annular member extending from the portion 421 to the portion 432, and may be, for example, a straight linear member, a plate-shaped member, or a coil member extending rearward from the rear end portion 431 and having elasticity in the up, down, left, and right directions.

[0059] As described above, the lure 10 of the present embodiment includes: a core body 11, which is accommodated inside the outer body 12; and an outer body 12, which is attached to the core body 11 and has a tail portion 121 extending further rearward than the rear end portion 431 of the core body 11. Therefore, in the water, even if there is a very small water flow or water movement around the lure 10, the outer body 12 will swing irregularly. In addition, due to the water flow, water pressure, and water movement generated when the lure 10 is recovered, the outer body 12, especially the tail portion 121 of the outer body 12, moves irregularly and smoothly like a living bait fish. In addition, there is a case where the angler temporarily stops operating the lure 10 during recovery in order to lure the target fish to bite the lure 10. In this case, when the lure 10 stops, due to the very small water flow and water movement generated around the lure 10, the tail portion 121 of the lure 10 that has stopped moves in a swinging manner. Since the outer body 12 moves in this way, the lure 10 can realize the real movement of the bait fish.

[0060] Furthermore, even if the outer body 12 of the lure 10 is formed to have the same size as a conventional large lure called a large lure, the weight can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional large lure.

[0061] In addition, when the lure 10 is thrown, the tail 121 of the outer body 12 is folded on the side of the core body 11, so the air resistance during the flight can be suppressed more than the conventional large lure. Thus, the flight distance is extended compared to the conventional large lure, and the lure 10 is easily thrown to the target position.

[0062] In addition, since the opening 31 is provided in the outer body 12, the outer body 12 can be removed from the core body 11, and another outer body with a different surface design can be attached to the core body 11. Thus, the lure 10 can be substantially changed to a lure of another form. In addition, as described above, the outer body 12 is formed of a thin sheet member such as cloth, so even if multiple types of outer bodies 12 with different designs are held, it does not take up space and multiple lures 10 can be substantially held.

[0063] In addition, the outer body 12 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the core body 11. Therefore, a plurality of outer bodies 12 with different designs and a plurality of outer bodies 12 with different sizes are prepared, and an outer body 12 selected from these outer bodies 12 is attached to the core body 11 according to the preferences of the angler, the environment of the fishing place, the type of the target fish, etc., thereby realizing various types of lures 10. In addition, even when the spindles 58 and 59 are attached to the lower part of the core body 11 in a rear-mounted manner, the core body 11 is covered and hidden by the outer body 12, so the spindles 58 and 59 do not affect the appearance and design of the lure 10.

[0064] Furthermore, when the outer body 12 is deteriorated due to the use of the lure 10, the lure 10 can be substantially the same as a new one by replacing only the outer body 12.

[0065] In addition, since the outer body 12 is detachably mounted on the core 11, the angler can replace the outer body 12 of the lure 10 with an outer body 12 of another design without removing the fishing line and the core 11. Therefore, compared with the previous lure, the lure 10 can be easily replaced with another lure.

[0066] Furthermore, the outer body 12 which is replaceable or replaceable with respect to the core body 11 is a fishing product which is not available in conventional lures. Therefore, it is considered that by bringing the lure 10 of this embodiment to the market, it is possible to contribute to the activation of the lure fishing industry and the development of the fishing gear industry.

[0067] In addition, the lure 10 is provided with: an opening 32 for allowing water from the front to flow into the space inside the outer body 12 during recovery; and an opening 33 for allowing the water that has flowed into the space inside the outer body 12 to flow out to the outside of the outer body 12. Figure 8As shown, when the lure 10 is thrown into the water and recovered, water enters the interior of the outer body 12 from the opening 32, and the water is discharged from the opening 33 to the outside through the space between the core body 11 and the outer body 12. That is, a water flow from the opening 32 to the opening 33 is generated in the internal space of the outer body 12. The tail 121 swings more irregularly due to the force exerted on the inner surface of the outer body 12 by the water flow and the water pressure exerted on the outer surface of the outer body 12 during recovery. In addition, after the lure 10 has just stopped, there is a tendency of the water flow remaining inside the outer body 12, so by receiving the force generated by the water flow from the inside, the tail 121 performs a different action from that during recovery. As a result, the lure 10 can realize the real action of the bait fish.

[0068] Furthermore, since the opening 31 is formed in the lure 10 , the outer body 12 can be easily removed from the core body 11 , and the outer body 12 can be easily attached to the core body 11 .

[0069] Furthermore, the outer body 12 is attached to the female buckle body of the core body 11 only through the male buckle body of the fisheye 26. Therefore, the outer body 12 has a greater degree of freedom of movement relative to the core body 11, and further causes the outer body 12 to swing in water.

[0070] Furthermore, since the above-mentioned holding member 55 is provided on the lure 10, even if a strong lateral water pressure or water flow is applied to the lure 10 in the water, the holding member 55 can prevent the tail 121 from being excessively bent. Thus, the holding member 55 can maintain the posture of the tail 121 in the same posture as the posture of the bait fish when swimming.

[0071] In addition, as described above, as an opening and closing mechanism for closing the opening 31 in an openable and closable manner, it is also conceivable to apply the following structure: the hook thin sheet body is adhered to the upper surface of the core body 11 accommodated in the outer body 12, the ring thin sheet body is installed on the outer peripheral edge of the opening 31, and the surface fixing member 35 is closed by joining these thin sheets. In this case, the freedom of movement of the outer body 12 is limited to the portion below the bottom surface 411 of the core body 11 and the tail 121. However, inside the outer body 12, the upper part of the core body 11 is fixed to the upper inner surface of the outer body 12, so that the posture of the lure 10 in the water can be stabilized, and the movement of the lure 10 during recovery can be close to the swimming movement of a live bait fish.

[0072] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, a structure in which the opening 33 is formed at the rear end of the outer body 12 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this structure. For example, instead of providing the opening 33 at the rear end of the outer body 12, one or more holes may be formed on the outer surface of the tail portion 121. The holes may be a plurality of tiny holes formed on the outer surface of the tail portion 121 by punching. In addition, in the case where the material of the tail portion 121 is a mesh material, the vent holes of the mesh material may also be used as the holes. Of course, in order to make the movement of the tail fin 25 caused by the water flow realistic even when a plurality of holes are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tail portion 121, it is preferred to form the opening 33 at the rear end of the outer body 12.

[0073] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, an example of printing an image of a bait fish on the surface of the outer body 12 is described, but the design presented on the surface of the outer body 12 is not limited to the bait fish. For example, the outer body 12 may also imitate the shapes of various creatures such as squid, shrimp, crab, frog, tadpole, lizard, worm (worm) as described above. For example, in the case where the outer body 12 imitates the shape of a squid, the tail 121 is the part of the squid's foot. In the case where the outer body 12 imitates the shape of a shrimp, the tail 121 is the part from the center of the shrimp's body to the tail. In the case where the outer body 12 imitates the shape of a crab, the tail 121 is the part of the crab's leg. In the case where the outer body 12 imitates the shape of a frog, a tadpole, a lizard, or a worm (worm), the tail 121 is the part of the frog's hind legs, the tadpole's tail, the lizard's tail, and the hind half of the worm (worm).

[0074] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the outer body 12 is illustrated as an example of a living creature, in which the appearance of the skin of a bait fish is printed on the surface, but the outer body 12 is not limited to such a structure. The outer body 12 may be a structure in which the head, body, and tail fin of the bait fish are formed of the above-mentioned soft material, and imitation parts such as pectoral fins, pelvic fins, anal fins, and dorsal fins made artificially from synthetic resins are attached to the head and body. Of course, the head and body of a living creature other than fish may be formed of the above-mentioned soft material, and imitation parts such as artificial legs and tails may be attached to the body.

[0075] In addition, the outer body 12 may not be artificial fish skin that imitates the epidermis (fish skin) of the bait fish, but may be processed fish skin (processed epidermis) formed by processing the skin (fish skin) of an actual fish. That is, the soft material constituting the outer body 12 may be the processed fish skin. For example, the processed fish skin is manufactured by the following method: fish skin is cut from a specific bait fish, the fish skin is defatted, and in order to have corrosion resistance and flexibility and improve tensile strength, after tanning using tannin (tannin) or chrome processed products, the fish shape is printed. By using such processed fish skin to manufacture the outer body 12 that imitates the surface shape of the bait fish, the authenticity of the lure 10 is further improved. Of course, the soft material may also be a processed epidermis formed by processing the epidermis of other creatures other than fish.

[0076] [Second Embodiment] Below, refer to Figures 9 to 13 , a second embodiment of the present invention is described as a fishing lure 10A (an example of the fishing lure of the present invention). In addition, the fishing lure 10A (hereinafter, referred to as the lure 10A) is different from the first embodiment in that an internal flow channel 70 is formed inside the core 11, and the other parts are the same as the structure of the lure 10. Therefore, in the following description, only the different parts are described, and the description of the common parts is omitted by adding the reference numerals used in the description of the first embodiment.

[0077] Fig. 9 It is a front perspective view showing a core body 11A of a lure 10A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig.10 It is a rear perspective view showing the core 11A of the lure 10A. Fig.11 is a side view of the core 11A of the lure 10A, Fig.12 is a cross-sectional view of the core 11A. Fig.13 1 is a diagram showing the action of the lure 10A in water. Fig.12 In the figure, the illustration of each eyelet, the retaining member 55, and the spindles 58 and 59 is omitted.

[0078] like Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , a first opening 71 is formed at the front end of the main body 41 of the core 11A. Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 4 , a second opening 72 is formed at the upper portion of the rear end portion 431 of the main body portion 41. Fig.11 As shown in FIG. 1 , a linear internal flow passage 70 is formed inside the main body 41 from the first opening 71 to the second opening 72 . The internal flow passage 70 extends straightly from the first opening 71 to the rear and upward, and reaches the second opening 72 .

[0079] Furthermore, a lip-shaped guide portion 73 is provided at the lower end of the first opening 71 to guide the water flow from the front from the first opening 71 to the internal flow channel 70 .

[0080] The above-mentioned first embodiment of the lure 10 is as follows Figure 8 When the lure 10 is retrieved in the state of being thrown into the water, the front end of the lure 10 is pulled diagonally upward by the fishing line extending diagonally upward from the eyelet 47. In this case, in the opening 32, the tip of the front portion 42 of the core body 11 is close to the upper side, and water mainly enters the interior from the gap opened at the lower side of the opening 32. In this case, the water entering the interior from the gap of the opening 32 mainly passes through the space 61 between the bottom surface 411 and the lower part of the outer body 12, and flows toward the opening 33 of the tail fin 25. Therefore, the water flow is concentrated on the lower side of the opening 33, and it is difficult to generate a water flow on the upper side of the opening 33, and the movement of the tail fin 25 is greatly different between the lower and upper parts. Specifically, when retrieving, only the lower part of the tail fin 25 swings relatively strongly, and the upper part of the tail fin 25 swings weakly.

[0081] In this embodiment, in order to make the upper part of the tail fin 25 swing more strongly or to make the upper and lower parts of the tail fin 25 swing approximately equally, the internal flow channel 70 is provided in the core 11A. Fig.13 As shown, when the lure 10A is thrown into the water and recovered, water enters the interior of the outer body 12 from the gap on the lower side of the opening 32, passes through the space 61 between the bottom surface 411 and the outer body 12, and is discharged from the lower part of the opening 33 to the outside. That is, inside the outer body 12, a water flow F01 is generated that passes through the space 61 from the opening 32 and reaches the outside from the lower part of the opening 33. In addition, a part of the water that enters the interior of the outer body 12 from the gap on the lower side of the opening 32 enters the internal flow channel 70 from the first opening 71, passes through the internal flow channel 70, and is discharged from the second opening 72 to the outside of the core body 11A, and flows backward in this way, thereby generating a water flow F02 from the upper part of the opening 33 to the outside. In this way, roughly two water flows F01 and F02 are generated inside the outer body 12, so that when recovering, the upper part of the tail fin 25 can be made to swing more strongly. In addition, the swing of the upper part of the tail fin 25 and the swing of the lower part of the tail fin 25 become roughly the same.

[0082] In addition, in this embodiment, the internal flow passage 70 is not limited to one. For example, a plurality of internal flow passages 70 may be provided inside the main body 41. For example, two internal flow passages 70 extending in the front-rear direction may be provided side by side inside the main body 41.

[0083] Furthermore, although a linear flow path from the first opening 71 to the second opening 72 is exemplified as the internal flow path 70 , the internal flow path 70 may be curved or bent inside the main body 41 .

[0084] In addition, the structure in which the first opening 71 is formed at the front end of the main body 41 and the second opening 72 is formed at the upper part of the rear end 431 is illustrated, but the positions of the first opening 71 and the second opening 72 constituting the internal flow channel 70 are not limited to such positions. The first opening 71 may be formed at the side of the front side of the main body 41. In addition, the second opening 72 may be formed at any position as long as it is located at the rear side and the upper side of the position of the first opening 71 in the main body 41.

[0085] [Third Embodiment] Below, refer to Fig.14 , a third embodiment of the present invention is described as a fishing lure 10B (an example of the fishing lure of the present invention). In the following description, only the parts of the fishing lure 10B (hereinafter, referred to as the lure 10B) that are different from the above-mentioned embodiments are described, and the common parts and parts having the same functions or effects are omitted by adding the reference numerals used in the description of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0086] like Fig.14 As shown, the lure 10B includes a front body 11B (an example of a core body of the present invention) constituting a main body on the front side of the lure 10B and an outer body 12B (an example of a swinging member, an example of an extension portion of the present invention) attached to the front body 11B.

[0087] The outer body 12B is formed of a sheet-like soft material similarly to the outer body 12 of the first embodiment described above. The outer body 12B is formed into a shape substantially the same as the tail portion 121 of the outer body 12. That is, the outer body 12B is configured substantially the same as the rear side portion of the outer body 12 of the first embodiment starting from the ventral fin 23. The interior of the outer body 12B is formed into a hollow shape, and in addition, the opening 33 is formed at the rear end portion of the tail fin 25, which is common to the outer body 12 of the first embodiment.

[0088] The front body 11B is a portion corresponding to the core 11 of the first embodiment described above. The front body 11B has a main body 41B that is long in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) of the lure 10B. The main body 41B is a portion corresponding to the main body 41 of the first embodiment described above, and is formed of a hard resin material such as ABS resin, similarly to the main body 41.

[0089] Unlike the core 11, the front body 11B is not covered by the outer body 12B, and includes a front part 42B corresponding to the head of a real bait fish and a rear part 43B corresponding to the body of the bait fish. The rear part 43B is a portion from the front part 42B to about half of the lure 10B. In this embodiment, the surface of the front body 11B is painted with fish eyes, gills, pectoral fins, scales, skin texture, dorsal fin, etc. that imitate the appearance of a real bait fish.

[0090] The bottom surface 411 of the front body portion 11B is provided with holes 51 and 52. Fishhooks 74 are attached to the holes 51 and 52, respectively.

[0091] The outer body 12B is detachably mounted on the front body 11B. For example, the front end 12B1 of the outer body 12B and the rear end 431 of the rear portion 43B of the front body 11B are detachably mounted by snaps such as the snap fastener components, surface fasteners, etc. When the front end 12B1 of the outer body 12B is mounted on the rear end 431, a space is formed between the outer body 12B and the rear end 431 of the front body 11B, and the outer body 12B extends backward from the rear end 431.

[0092] In addition, the front body 11B has a holding member 55B. The holding member 55B is a member for holding the posture of the outer body 12B in water. The holding member 55B is made of the same material as the holding member 55 of the first embodiment, and its function is also the same. The holding member 55B extends backward from the rear end portion 431 and is attached to the rear end portion 431 in a manner that forms a loop with the surface of the rear end portion 431.

[0093] An opening 32B (an example of an inlet of the present invention) is formed between the front end 12B1 of the outer body 12B and the rear portion 43B of the front body 11B for allowing water from the front to flow into the outer body 12B during collection. The opening 32B is formed on both side surfaces of the front body 11B.

[0094] Even with the lure 10B configured as above, the outer body 12B swings irregularly in the water due to the extremely small water flow and water movement generated around the lure 10B. Therefore, the lure 10B can realize the real movement of the bait fish.

[0095] [Fourth Embodiment] Below, refer to Figures 15 to 20 , a fishing lure 10C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention (an example of a fishing lure according to the present invention) is described. In the following description, only the parts of the fishing lure 10C (hereinafter, referred to as the lure 10B) that are different from the above-mentioned embodiments are described, and the description of the common parts and parts having the same functions or effects is omitted by attaching the reference numerals used in the description of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0096] Fig.15 It is a side view showing a lure 10C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig.16 It is a side view showing the outer casing 12C of the lure 10C. Fig.17 It is a perspective view showing a core body 11C of a lure 10C. Fig.18 It is a side view showing the core body 11C of the lure 10C. Fig.19 It is a top view showing the core body 11C of the lure 10C. Fig. 20 It is a bottom view showing the core body 11C of the lure 10C.

[0097] The lure 10C roughly includes a core body 11C (an example of the core body of the present invention) and an exterior body 12C (an example of the swinging member or exterior member of the present invention).

[0098] The core 11C is disposed inside the lure 10C and is a core component of the lure 10C. The core 11C is formed of a hard resin material such as ABS resin.

[0099] The core 11C has a two-part structure divided into front and rear parts, including a main body 41C arranged on the front side and a rear body 45 (an example of the rear body of the present invention) arranged on the rear side. The rear body 45 is connected to the rear end 431 of the main body 41C via a connecting portion 80 described later so as to be swingable in the left and right directions.

[0100] In the present embodiment, an example is described in which the core 11C has a two-part structure, but the core 11C may have a multi-part structure divided into three or more parts in the front-rear direction, or may not have a divided structure.

[0101] The outer body 12C is mounted on the core body 11C. In the present embodiment, the outer body 12C is detachably mounted on the core body 11C. The outer body 12C is an outer component that constitutes at least the outer surface (exterior surface) of the lure 10C. The outer body 12C is formed of the soft sheet-like material as the outer body 12. A portion of the front side of the outer body 12C is detachably mounted on the main body 41C of the core body 11C, and a portion of the upper portion of the outer body 12C is detachably mounted on the main body 41C of the core body 11C.

[0102] In the present embodiment, the core 11C is arranged in the hollow part inside the outer body 12C. Therefore, when the outer body 12C is mounted on the core 11C, the tail 121 (an example of the extension part of the present invention) extending from the center of the outer body 12C in the front-back direction to the rear end of the outer body 12C extends in the direction from the rear end 431 of the main body 41C of the core 11C, and further extends backward from the rear end 451 of the rear body 45. Thus, if the lure 10C is thrown into the water, the outer body 12B moves in an irregular swinging manner relative to the core 11C due to the force generated when the fishing rod is operated, the flow of water in the water, the water pressure, etc. In particular, the tail 121 of the outer body 12C moves in an irregular swinging manner due to extremely small water flow or water pressure.

[0103] The outer body 12C is a component that constitutes the outer surface of the lure 10C. The interior of the outer body 12C is hollow. In other words, the outer body 12C is formed into a hollow shape by the soft material. Fig.16 As shown, the outer cover 12C is formed into a shape imitating the surface shape of the bait fish. That is, the outer cover 12C is a body imitating the epidermis (fish skin) of the bait fish, for example, artificial fish skin (artificial epidermis).

[0104] like Fig.16 As shown, the outer casing 12C has an opening 31C formed on the side of the head 21. The opening 31C is an example of a take-out port of the present invention, and is an example of an inflow portion and a front opening of the present invention.

[0105] The opening 31C is formed from a predetermined position P1 on the upper portion of the outer body 12C through the front end 120 of the head 21 to a position P2 below the tip of the head 21 (see Fig.16 The position P1 is, for example, a position near the front of the dorsal fin (not shown) of the outer body 12C. The position P2 is, for example, a position below the fish eye 26.

[0106] The opening 31C is used as a hollow portion (space) for accommodating the core 11C in the inner portion of the outer body 12C or for taking out the core 11C from the inner portion of the outer body 12C. Therefore, the opening 31C is formed to a size through which the core 11C can be inserted. In addition, the opening 31C serves as an inflow portion for allowing water to flow into the inner portion of the outer body 12C during the recovery of the lure 10C.

[0107] A buckle 75 is provided at the upper portion of the outer body 12C for detachably fixing the outer body 12C to the core body 11C. The buckle 75 is provided at a position slightly spaced back from the rear end portion (the portion of the position P1) on the upper side of the opening 31C. The buckle 75 is a so-called plastic snap fastener or the like.

[0108] In the state where the core body 11C is accommodated in the exterior body 12C ( Fig.15 In the state shown in FIG. 1 , a portion of the outer body 12C is engaged with the core body 11C by a buckle 75. In this embodiment, the male and female buckle bodies of the buckle 75 are engaged with the female and female buckle bodies 77 (see FIG. 1 ) which are provided in the core body 11C and described later. Fig.17 ). In addition, the buckle 75 and the female and child buckle body 77 are examples of the engaging portion of the present invention.

[0109] Fisheyes 26 are provided on both sides of the head 21. The fisheyes 26 are provided near the front end 120 of the head 21. The fisheyes 26 are the buckles fixed to the fabric constituting the outer body 12C. That is, the fisheyes 26 are buckles for detachably fixing the outer body 12C to the core body 11C. The fisheyes 26 are the buckle components such as so-called plastic snap buckles. In the present embodiment, the fisheyes 26 are depicted on the snap buckle heads presented on the surface of the outer body 12C.

[0110] In the state where the core body 11C is accommodated in the exterior body 12C ( Fig.15 In the state shown in the figure), a part of the outer body 12C is engaged with the core body 11C through the fish eye 26 (snap). Thus, the outer body 12C is attached to the core body 11C. In this embodiment, the male and female buckle bodies (not shown) provided in the two fish eyes 26 are engaged with the female and female buckle bodies 57 (see FIG. 1 ) provided in the core body 11C. Fig.17 ). In addition, the fish eye 26 and the female snap body 57 as the buckle are examples of the engaging portion of the present invention.

[0111] In this embodiment, the outer body 12C is fixed to the core body 11C only at the fixing portion formed by the two fish eyes 26 and the buckle 75, and there is no other position where the outer body 12C is fixed to the core body 11C. Therefore, if the lure 10C is recovered in the water or on the water surface, water from the front flows into the interior of the outer body 12C from the opening 31A.

[0112] In addition, an opening for allowing water to flow into the interior of the exterior body 12C may be provided other than the opening 31C.

[0113] like Fig.16 As shown, the outer body 12C has an opening 33 formed at the rear end portion. The opening 33 is formed at the rear end of the tail fin 25 of the outer body 12C. The opening 33 can be formed by not joining the rear end portion of the tail fin 25 of the outer body 12C. Since the opening 33 is provided at the rear end of the tail fin 25, if the lure 10C is recovered in the water or on the water surface, the water that flows into the inside from the opening 31C flows out from the opening 33 to the outside of the outer body 12C.

[0114] In addition, the position of the opening 33 is not limited to the rear end of the tail fin 25, and the number of the openings 33 is not limited to one.

[0115] Insertion holes 37 and 38 penetrating the exterior body 12C are formed at a lower portion of the exterior body 12C.

[0116] The insertion opening 37 is an opening for inserting a fishhook guide 64, which will be described later, provided in the core body 11C so that the lower end of the fishhook guide 64 is exposed to the outside. The insertion opening 37 is formed in the lower part of the outer body 12C near the pectoral fin 22 (see Fig.16 82).

[0117] The insertion opening 38 is an opening for inserting the anal fin 24C, which will be described later, provided on the core body 11C to expose the anal fin 24C to the outside. The insertion opening 38 is formed at a position corresponding to the position of the anal fin of a real bait fish in the lower part of the outer body 12C (see Fig.16 83).

[0118] like Fig.15 As shown, the core body 11C is arranged inside the lure 10C and is provided in the hollow portion inside the outer body 12C.

[0119] like Fig.17 As shown, the core body 11C includes a main body portion 41C and a rear body portion 45. The rear body portion 45 is connected to a rear end portion 431 of the main body portion 41C so as to be swingable in the left-right direction.

[0120] The main body 41C has a bottom surface 411 formed in a substantially flat shape. In addition, the main body 41C is formed so that the rear portion 43 on the rear side is higher than the front portion 42 on the front side relative to the bottom surface 411. That is, the main body 41C is formed in a shape in which the rear portion 43 is larger than the front portion 42 in the height direction and the width direction. In addition, the main body 41C is formed in a shape that is tapered toward the front end as a whole. A spindle is provided inside the main body 41C.

[0121] The tip of the front part 42 is formed into a shape with a tapered end so that it can be exposed to the outside from the opening 31C of the outer body 12C. When the male and female buckle bodies of the fisheye 26 of the outer body 12C are mounted on the main body 41C of the core body 11C, a part of the tip of the front part 42 is exposed to the outside from the opening 31C. That is, the outer body 12C is mounted on the main body 41C in a state where a part of the tip of the front part 42 is exposed to the outside from the opening 31C. In this case, the eyelets 47 and 48 provided at the tip of the front part 42 are also exposed to the outside from the opening 31C.

[0122] Concave portions 56 are formed on both side surfaces of the front portion 42. A female snap-on body 57 is fixed inside the concave portion 56. The male snap-on body (not shown) of the fisheye 26 of the outer body 12C is engaged with the female snap-on body 57. Thus, a part of the outer body 12C is attached to the side surface of the main body 41C.

[0123] A recess 76 is formed in the upper part of the main body 41C. A female snap-on body 77 is fixed inside the recess 76. The male snap-on body (not shown) of the buckle 75 of the outer body 12C is engaged with the female snap-on body 77. Thus, a part of the outer body 12C is attached to the upper part of the main body 41C.

[0124] The bottom surface 411 of the main body 41C is provided with an eyelet 51C for attaching a fishhook. A fishhook guide 64 is provided so as to surround the eyelet 51C. The fishhook guide 64 is a cylindrical member formed of a soft resin material such as silicone, elastomer, rubber, etc. A circular recess is formed in the peripheral portion where the eyelet 51C is provided, and the fishhook guide 64 is embedded in the recess. Alternatively, the fishhook guide 64 may be formed integrally with the main body 41C.

[0125] Since such a hook guide is provided, even if the double hooks 79 are attached to the eyelets 51C after the core 11C is attached to the exterior body 12C, the double hooks 79 can be less likely to pull the exterior body 12C.

[0126] like Fig.18 As shown, the rear body 45 is connected to the rear end 431 of the main body 41C through the connecting portion 80. The connecting portion 80 has two annular connecting rings 801 fixed to the rear end 431 of the main body 41C and a support shaft 802 provided at the front end of the rear body 45 (see Fig. 20 ). The two connecting rings 801 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and each connecting ring 801 protrudes rearward. The support shaft 802 extends in the vertical direction. By inserting the support shaft 802 through the connecting ring 801, the main body 41C and the rear body 45 are connected, so that the rear body 45 can swing in the left and right directions relative to the main body 41C.

[0127] A hole 52C for attaching a fishhook is provided at the lower portion of the rear end portion 451 of the rear body 45. After the core body 11C is attached to the interior of the outer body 12C, the double hook 79 is attached to the hole 52C.

[0128] like Fig.18As shown, the core body 11C has a holding member 55C for holding the posture of the tail portion 121 of the outer body 12C. The holding member 55C is formed of a soft resin material such as silicone, elastomer, rubber, etc., and has moderate elasticity. The holding member 55C is formed into a thin shape in the left-right direction of the lure 10C. The base end 91 of the holding member 55C is attached to the rear end 451 of the rear body 45, and the holding member 55C extends backward from the rear end 451. The extension end 92 of the holding member 55C reaches the tail fin 25 of the outer body 12C.

[0129] The holding member 55C may be fixed to the rear body 45, or may be configured to be replaceably attachable and detachable to the rear body 45. In addition, the holding member 55C may be a member extending rearward from the rear end portion 451 of the rear body 45 and formed into an annular shape by a linear member like the above-mentioned holding member 55B.

[0130] The holding member 55C of this embodiment has: a straight portion 93 extending substantially straight from the base end portion 91 to the extension end 92; a vertical fin 94 extending upward from the upper end portion of the straight portion 93; and a narrow plate-shaped anal fin 24C extending obliquely downward and rearward from the lower portion of the base end portion 91. When the core 11C is mounted inside the outer body 12C, the anal fin 24C protrudes from the insertion port 38 to the outside. Since the anal fin 24C and the holding member 55C are formed integrally, the anal fin 24C produces an effect like the keel of a ship. As a result, turbulence of the water flow behind the anal fin 24C is suppressed. In addition, excessive swaying of the rear portion of the lure 10C is suppressed.

[0131] The vertical fin 94 is a plate-like member extending vertically upward from the upper end of the straight portion 93. The vertical fin 94 is formed narrower than the straight portion 93. The upper end of the vertical fin 94 reaches the upper part of the tail portion 121 of the outer body 12C, and mainly maintains the posture of the upper side of the tail portion 121. In addition, the vertical fin 94 plays the following role: when the lure 10C is recovered, the water flow passing through the inside of the tail portion 121 is rectified in a manner that is approximately equal to the left and right, and the excessive vibration of the tail portion 121 and the tail fin 25 is suppressed.

[0132] Since the holding member 55C is constructed in this way, Fig.15 As shown, the core body 11C is accommodated in the outer body 12C, and the outer body 12C is attached to the core body 11C ( Fig.15 In the state shown in FIG. 1 , the holding member 55C is disposed in the space 62 between the rear end portion 431 and the tail portion 121. In other words, the holding member 55C extends from the rear end portion 451 of the rear body 45 of the core 11C to the space between the inner surface of the tail portion 121 and the rear end portion 451.

[0133] Therefore, if Fig.21As shown in FIG. 1 , when the lure 10C is thrown into the water and recovered, water enters the interior of the outer body 12C from the gaps on both the upper and lower sides of the opening 31C, and the water flows F01 and F02 pass through both the upper and lower parts of the space 61 and the space 62 inside the outer body 12C, and are discharged to the outside from the opening 33. Therefore, when the lure 10C is recovered, the tail 121 and the tail fin 25 can be made to swing more strongly. In addition, the swing of the upper part of the tail 121 and the tail fin 25 is substantially the same as the swing of the lower part.

[0134] Furthermore, since the rear body 45 and the elastic holding member 55C are provided so as to be able to swing relative to the main body 41C, when the lure 10C is recovered, the tail portion 121 and the tail fin 25 swing in the left-right direction, and the lure 10C can realize the real movement of the bait fish.

[0135] In addition, various configurations of the above-described embodiments may be replaced or recombined into other configurations having the same functions in other embodiments.
