Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lure. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, fishing lures have been known in which the body is divided into a head, a body, and a tail, which are engaged with each other. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a lure in which a hard body and a soft tail are engaged with each other, and then the tail is fixed by a pin inserted into a pin hole in the body (see Patent Document 1, for example). As a joint portion for connecting the divided bodies of a general jointed lure so that they can swing, those using a figure-8 ring, a swivel, and a shaft are known (see, for example, Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-22306 A [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3237044 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the case of the figure-8 ring and swivel connecting members that connect the divided bodies of conventional lures such as those described in Patent Document 1 to allow them to swing freely, there was a problem of insufficient strength. Furthermore, in the case of the shaft, since it is structured so that it is inserted into the body of the lure from behind, there is a problem that the shaft may fall out due to tensile load, and there is room for improvement in this regard.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a lure that can increase the strength of the connection between the divided bodies and prevent the swing shaft part of the connection from falling off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A first aspect of the lure of the present invention comprises a plurality of bodies divided into front and rear halves, a connecting member that connects the bodies to each other so that they can swing, and a linear member having a swing shaft portion of the connecting member, the linear member extending in a direction different from the axial direction of the swing shaft portion and having an engagement portion that engages with the inside of at least one of the plurality of bodies.

[0007] According to aspect 1 of the lure of the present invention, the linear member having the oscillating shaft of the connecting member has an engaging portion that engages with the inside of the body in a direction different from the axial direction of the oscillating shaft, so that the portion of the oscillating shaft exposed to the outside of the body is prevented from being damaged and coming loose, compared to conventional examples in which the oscillating shaft is inserted from the outside of the body with a pin or screw.

[0008] (2) In a second aspect of the present invention, in the lure of the first aspect, it is preferable that the linear member further has a connection portion for connecting a fishing line or a fishing hook.

[0009] In this case, since the linear member also has other functions, the number of parts can be reduced and assembly can be improved.

[0010] (3) A third aspect of the present invention is the lure of the second aspect, wherein the connection portion is a curved portion formed on the linear member, and the curved portion preferably protrudes to the outside of the body.

[0011] In this case, the curved portion, which is a curved portion of the linear member, is provided in a state exposed from the body, and a fishing line or a fish hook can be connected to this curved portion. In this case, since only the curved portion protrudes from the body and the support portion connected to the curved portion is engaged with and supported by the body, the strength of the curved portion can be increased.

[0012] (4) A fourth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that in the lure of the second or third aspect, the swing shaft portion is located on a rotation shaft of the connecting member.

[0013] In this case, the oscillating shaft portion formed as part of the linear member can function as the rotation shaft of the connecting member that connects the front and rear divided bodies to each other in a manner that allows the bodies to oscillate. In this case too, the support portion connected to the oscillating shaft portion is engaged with and supported by the body, so that the strength of the oscillating shaft portion can be increased.

[0014] (5) A fifth aspect of the present invention may be the lure of any one of the first to fourth aspects, characterized in that the body is formed with an engagement groove into which the linear member engages.

[0015] In this case, the linear member engages with the engaging groove of the body and is supported by a surface, so that the supporting strength of the linear member can be increased.

[0016] (6) A sixth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of any one of the first to fifth aspects, the body is divided into two in a left-right direction perpendicular to the front-to-rear direction, the end of the oscillating shaft portion opposite the engagement portion has a bent portion that is bent one or more times in a direction intersecting the axial direction, and the bent portions of the pair of front and rear oscillating shaft portions supported by the connecting member are linearly symmetrical when viewed from the left-to-right direction.

[0017] In this case, since the bent portions of the linear members arranged at the connecting portions between the front and rear bodies are line-symmetrical, one connecting member that connects the front and rear linear members can be inserted through both bent portions and easily moved to the swing shaft portions, and the connecting member can be arranged at predetermined positions on both swing shaft portions. Therefore, the linear members and the connecting member can be assembled together in advance into a desired shape, and the linear members and the connecting member integrated together can be sandwiched between the bodies divided in two in the left-right direction for manufacturing, improving assembly.

[0018] (7) In a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the lure of any one of the first to sixth aspects, it is preferable that a plurality of the connecting members are disposed at one connecting portion between the bodies.

[0019] In this case, even if a plurality of connecting members are provided at one connecting portion, these plurality of connecting members can be connected to the oscillating shaft portions of the pair of front and rear linear members to be integrated.

[0020] (8) An eighth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of the seventh aspect, the length L of the straight portion of the bent portion, the outer diameter A of the linear member, and the thickness T of the connecting member satisfy formula (1).

[0021]

number

[0022] In this case, by setting the range of formula (1), the connecting member can be moved smoothly at the bent portion when the connecting member is attached to the pair of front and rear linear members. Effect of the Invention

[0023] According to the lure of the present invention, the strength of the connection portion between the divided bodies can be increased, and the pivot portion of the connection portion can be prevented from falling off. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0025] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a lure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as necessary in order to make each component large enough to be visible.

[0026] (First embodiment) As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, a lure 1 of the embodiment is used for fishing, has a body part made of hard plastic, and is an example of a jointed lure modeled after the shape of a small fish.

[0027] Here, in the lure 1, the direction in which the head and tail are connected in a straight line is defined as the front-rear direction X1, the head side is defined as the front side, and the tail side is defined as the rear side. In addition, the lateral direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction X1 when viewed from above is defined as the left-right direction X2, and the up-down direction of the lure 1 when it is swimming is defined as the up-down direction X3, and will be described below.

[0028] The lure 1 is formed in a streamlined shape that mimics a fish, and is integrally formed by joining the peripheral portions 10d of a pair of halves of a body 10 by bonding or welding. The body 10 is divided into three parts in the front-to-rear direction X1, namely, a head body 10A, a torso body 10B, and a tail body 10C, in that order from the front to the rear, and each body is provided so as to be able to swing freely in the left-to-right direction X2. Each of the bodies 10A, 10B, and 10C forms a hollow portion.

[0029] 1 to 3, the left side of the paper is the head side, and the right side of the paper is the tail side. The lure 1 has a shape in which the cross section is largest at the center in the front-rear direction X1 (the connecting portion of the head body 10A and the torso body 10B). That is, the lure 1 is shaped so that it becomes thicker from the front end 10a to the center and tapers from the center to the rear end 10b, forming a smooth curve as a whole.

[0030] The head body 10A is provided on the head side and is formed in a shape that resembles approximately the front half of a fish. A line eye 32 is provided at the front end 10a of the head body 10A. A first hook eye 33 for connecting a hook (not shown) for hooking a fish is provided at the rear lower surface 10c of the head body 10A.

[0031] 4 and 5, the head body 10A is connected to the trunk body 10B via a first connecting part T1 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2. The head body 10A includes a pair of first connecting members 2A swingably connected to the trunk body 10B, and a first linear member 3A having a first swing shaft part 31 swingably supporting the first connecting members 2A.

[0032] The pair of first connecting members 2A, 2A are disposed spaced apart from each other above and below the approximate center in the vertical direction X3 of the lure 1. The first connecting member 2A is provided to be able to swing freely with respect to each of the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B. Although the first connecting members 2A are provided in pairs, one above the other, the number is not particularly limited. For example, there may be one first connecting member 2A, or three or more first connecting members 2A may be provided side by side in the vertical direction X3.

[0033] The first connecting member 2A supports the torso body 10B so as to be swingable relative to the head body 10A so that the torso body 10B can be folded to the left and right. The first connecting member 2A is made of, for example, stainless steel (SUS).

[0034] The first connecting member 2A is a long plate-like member, and shaft holes 2a, 2b (rotation shafts) are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, penetrating in the thickness direction. That is, the first connecting member 2A is arranged with the longitudinal direction facing the front-rear direction X1 and the surface direction facing a plane direction perpendicular to the up-down direction X3. The first connecting member 2A is attached to the body 10 with the axial directions of the shaft holes 2a, 2b coinciding with the up-down direction X3. One shaft hole 2a is arranged inside the head body 10A, and the first swing shaft part 31 of the head body 10A is inserted through it. The other shaft hole 2b is arranged inside the trunk body 10B, and the second swing shaft part 34 of the trunk body 10B, which will be described later, is inserted through it.

[0035] An engagement groove 4A for engaging with the front portion of the first connecting member 2A and the first linear member 3A including the first pivot shaft portion 31 is formed on the inner surface of the head body 10A.

[0036] The first linear member 3A is a rod-shaped member made of metal, and for example, a high-strength thick wire with an outer diameter of about 2 mm is used. The first linear member 3A has the above-mentioned first swing shaft portion 31, a line eye 32 (connection portion) for connecting a fishing line, and a first hook eye 33 (connection portion) for connecting a fishing hook (not shown). In other words, the first linear member 3A is entirely made of a single wire, and parts of the linear portion form portions that function as the first swing shaft portion 31, the line eye 32, and the first hook eye 33.

[0037] The line eye 32 and the first hook eye 33 are curved portions 3a and 3b formed by bending a linear member, and are configured by projecting the curved portions 3a and 3b to the outside of the head body 10A. The line eye 32, which is the curved portion 3a, projects forward from the front end portion 10a of the head body 10A. The first hook eye 33, which is the curved portion 3b, projects downward from the rear lower surface 10c of the head body 10A. The line eye 32 is connected to the first hook eye 33 via a straight portion 3c extending in the front-rear direction X1 and a bent portion 3d that is bent downward at a substantially right angle from the straight portion 3c, and the first hook eye 33 is connected to the first swing shaft portion 31 at the top.

[0038] The straight portion 3c of the first linear member 3A is an engagement portion that extends in a direction different from the axial direction of the first oscillation shaft portion 31.

[0039] The torso body 10B is swingably connected to the head body 10A via a first connecting part T1 in the left-right direction X2, and is swingably connected to the tail body 10C via a second connecting part T2 in the left-right direction X2. The torso body 10B includes a pair of first connecting members 2A swingably connected to the head body 10B, a pair of second connecting members 2B swingably connected to the tail body 10C, and a second linear member 3B.

[0040] As described above, the first connecting member 2A is used in common with the head body 10A. A second swing shaft portion 34 (described later) of the second linear member 3B disposed inside the trunk body 10B is inserted into the other shaft hole 2b of the first connecting member 2A.

[0041] The pair of second connecting members 2B, 2B are disposed above and below the approximate center of the trunk body 10B in the up-down direction X3 with a gap therebetween. The second connecting member 2B is provided to be able to swing freely with respect to each of the trunk body 10B and the tail body 10C. Although the second connecting members 2B are provided in pairs, one above the other, the number is not particularly limited. For example, there may be one second connecting member 2B, or three or more second connecting members 2B may be provided lined up in the vertical direction X3.

[0042] The second connecting member 2B supports the tail body 10C so as to be swingable relative to the trunk body 10B so that the tail body 10C can be folded to the left and right. The second connecting member 2B is made of, for example, stainless steel (SUS).

[0043] The second connecting member 2B is a long plate-like member, and shaft holes 2c, 2d (rotation shafts) are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, penetrating in the thickness direction. That is, the second connecting member 2B is arranged with its longitudinal direction facing the front-rear direction X1 and its surface direction facing a plane direction perpendicular to the up-down direction X3. The second connecting member 2B is attached to the body 10 with the axial directions of the shaft holes 2c, 2d coinciding with the up-down direction X3. One shaft hole 2c is arranged inside the trunk body 10B, and a third swing shaft portion 35 of the trunk body 10B is inserted through the one shaft hole 2c. The other shaft hole 2d is arranged inside the tail body 10C, and a fourth swing shaft portion 36 of the tail body 10C, which will be described later, is inserted through the other shaft hole 2d.

[0044] The inner surface of the torso body 10B is formed with a groove-shaped engagement groove 4B that engages with the rear portion of the first connecting member 2A, the front portion of the second connecting member 2B, and the second oscillating shaft portion 34 and the third oscillating shaft portion 35 of the second linear member 3B.

[0045] The second linear member 3B is a rod-shaped member made of metal, similar to the first linear member 3A, and is made of, for example, a high-strength thick wire having an outer diameter of about 2 mm. The second linear member 3B has a second swing shaft portion 34 that swingably supports the first connecting member 2A, and a third swing shaft portion 35 that swingably supports the second connecting member 2B. The second linear member 3B is formed in a substantially U-shape, and the second swing shaft portion 34 and the third swing shaft portion 35 are disposed on parallel straight line portions 3e and 3f that extend in the up-down direction X3, respectively. The second swing shaft portion 34 and the third swing shaft portion 35 have bent portions 34a and 35a that are bent at their upper ends toward one side of the left-right direction X2. Furthermore, the second linear member 3B is configured by having a curved portion 3g that is curved at approximately 180 degrees between a pair of straight portions 3e, 3f protruding downward and outward from the torso body 10B. Note that since the curved portion 3g is located outside the torso body 10B, it is not engaged with the engagement groove 4B.

[0046] The bent portions 34a, 35a of the second linear member 3B are engagement portions that extend in a direction different from the axial direction of the second oscillation shaft portion 34 and the third oscillation shaft portion 35. The bent portions 34a, 35a engage with the engagement groove 4B. By providing the bent portions 34a, 35a in the second linear member 3B in this manner, it is possible to prevent the second linear member 3B from falling off the trunk body 10B even if a downward force is applied to the curved portion 3g.

[0047] The tail body 10C is connected to the torso body 10B via the second connecting part T2 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2. The tail body 10C includes a pair of second connecting members 2B swingably connected to the torso body 10B, and a third linear member 3C having a fourth pivot shaft 36 that swingably supports the second connecting members 2B.

[0048] As described above, the second connecting member 2B is used in common with the trunk body 10B. The fourth swing shaft portion 36 of the third linear member 3C disposed inside the tail body 10C is inserted into the other shaft hole 2d of the second connecting member 2B.

[0049] An engagement groove 4C is formed on the inner surface of the tail body 10C, into which the rear portion of the second connecting member 2B and the third linear member 3C including the fourth swing shaft portion 36 are engaged.

[0050] The third linear member 3C is a rod-shaped member made of metal, and for example, a high-strength thick wire with an outer diameter of about 2 mm is used. The third linear member 3C has the above-mentioned fourth swing shaft portion 36 and a second hook eye 37 (connection portion) for connecting a fishing hook (hook) (not shown). In other words, the third linear member 3C is entirely made of a single wire, and a part of the linear portion forms a portion that functions as the fourth swing shaft portion 36 and the second hook eye 37.

[0051] The second hook eye 33 is a curved portion 3h formed by bending a linear member, and the curved portion 3h is configured by protruding outward from the rear end portion 10b of the tail body 10C. The fourth swing shaft portion 36 is connected to the second first hook eye 33 via a straight portion 3i extending at its lower end in the front-rear direction X1.

[0052] The straight line portion 3i of the third linear member 3C is an engagement portion that extends in a direction different from the axial direction of the fourth oscillation shaft portion .

[0053] Next, the action of the lure 1 thus configured will be described in detail with reference to Figs. The lure 1 according to this embodiment includes a plurality of bodies 10 (10A, 10B, 10C) divided into front and rear portions, connecting members 2A, 2B that connect these bodies 10 to each other so that they can swing, and linear members 3A, 3B, 3C having swing shafts 31, 34, 35, 36 of the connecting members 2A, 2B. The linear members 3A, 3B, 3C extend in a direction different from the axial direction of the swing shafts 31, 34, 35, 36, and have an engagement portion that engages with the inside of at least one of the plurality of bodies 10A, 10B, 10C.

[0054] In this embodiment, the linear members 3A, 3B, 3C having the oscillating shaft portions 31, 34, 35, 36 of the connecting members 2A, 2B have engaging portions that engage with the inside of the bodies 10A, 10B, 10C in a direction different from the axial direction of the oscillating shaft portions 31, 34, 35, 36. Therefore, compared to the conventional example in which the oscillating shaft is inserted from outside the body using a pin or screw, the portion of the oscillating shaft exposed to the outside of the body can be prevented from being damaged and coming loose.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, linear members 3A, 3B, and 3C further have connection portions for connecting a fishing line or a fishing hook. Therefore, since linear members 3A, 3B, and 3C also have other functions, the number of parts can be reduced and assembly can be improved.

[0056] In this embodiment, the connection portion is a curved portion formed on the linear members 3A, 3B, 3C, and the curved portion protrudes to the outside of the body 10A, 10B, 10C. With this configuration, the curved portion formed by bending a part of the linear members 3A, 3B, 3C is provided in a state exposed from the body 10A, 10B, 10C, so that a fishing line or a fishing hook can be connected to this curved portion. In this case, only the curved portion protrudes from the body 10A, 10B, 10C, and the support portion connected to the curved portion is engaged with and supported by the body 10A, 10B, 10C, so that the strength of the curved portion can be increased.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the oscillating shafts 31, 34, 35, 36 are positioned as the rotation shafts of the connecting members 2A, 2B. In this case, the oscillating shafts 31, 34, 35, 36 formed as part of the linear members 3A, 3B, 3C can function as the rotation shafts of the connecting members 2A, 2B that connect the front and rear divided bodies 10A, 10B, 10C to each other in a manner that allows them to oscillate. In this case, too, the support parts connected to the oscillating shafts 31, 34, 35, 36 are engaged with and supported by the bodies 10A, 10B, 10C, so that the strength of the oscillating shafts 31, 34, 35, 36 can be increased.

[0058] In this embodiment, the bodies 10A, 10B, and 10C are formed with engagement grooves 4A, 4B, and 4C into which the linear members 3A, 3B, and 3C engage. As a result, the linear members 3A, 3B, and 3C engage with the engagement grooves 4A, 4B, and 4C of the bodies and are supported by a surface, thereby increasing the support strength of the linear members 3A, 3B, and 3C.

[0059] In the lure 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the strength of the joints between the divided bodies 10 can be increased, and the swing shafts 31, 34, 35, 36 of the joints T1, T2 can be prevented from falling off.

[0060] Second embodiment Next, as shown in Fig. 6, the lure 1A according to the second embodiment has a tail body 10D different in configuration from the lure 1 of the first embodiment described above. The head body 10A and the torso body 10B are similar in configuration to those of the first embodiment described above, so a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0061] The tail body 10D according to the second embodiment is connected to the torso body 10B via the second connecting part T2 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2. The tail body 10D includes a pair of second connecting members 2B swingably connected to the torso body 10B, and a fourth linear member 3D having a fifth swing shaft part 38 that swingably supports the second connecting members 2B. A tail fin 6 is provided at the rear end part 10b of the tail body 10D.

[0062] The second connecting member 2B has the same configuration as in the first embodiment described above, and is used in common with the trunk body 10B. The fifth swing shaft portion 38 of the fourth linear member 3D disposed inside the tail body 10D is inserted into the other shaft hole 2d of the second connecting member 2B.

[0063] An engagement groove 4D for engaging with the rear portion of the second connecting member 2B and the fourth linear member 3D including the fifth swing shaft portion 38 is formed on the inner surface of the tail body 10D.

[0064] The fourth linear member 3D is a rod-shaped member made of metal, and for example, a high-strength thick wire with an outer diameter of about 2 mm is used. The fourth linear member 3D has the above-mentioned fifth swing shaft portion 38 and a third hook eye 39 (connection portion) for connecting the fishhook (hook 5). In other words, the fourth linear member 3D is entirely made of a single wire, and a part of the linear portion forms a portion that functions as the fifth swing shaft portion 38 and the third hook eye 39.

[0065] The third hook eye 39 is a curved portion 3j that is curved at approximately 180 degrees at the middle position of the linear member, and is configured by projecting the curved portion 3j downward from the body lower surface 10e. The fourth linear member 3D is formed in a substantially U-shape, and a fifth swing shaft portion 38 and a straight portion 3k are disposed on each of the parallel straight portions extending in the up-down direction X3. The fifth swing shaft portion 38 has a bent portion 38a that is bent at its upper end toward one of the left-right directions X2.

[0066] The bent portion 38a and the curved portion 3j of the fourth linear member 3D are engagement portions that extend in a direction different from the axial direction of the fifth swing shaft portion 38. The bent portion 38a engages with the engagement groove 4D. By providing the bent portion 38a in the fourth linear member 3D in this manner, it is possible to prevent the fourth linear member 3D from falling off the tail body 10D even if a downward force is applied to the third hook eye 39.

[0067] Third embodiment Next, as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, a lure 1B according to a third embodiment includes a linear member 5A provided on the head body 10A, a linear member 5B provided on the trunk body 10B, and a linear member 5C provided on the tail body 10C. The linear member 5A has a sixth swing shaft portion 51 inserted through a pair of first connecting members 2A. The linear member 5B has a seventh swing shaft portion 52 inserted through a pair of first connecting members 2A and an eighth swing shaft portion 53 inserted through a pair of second connecting members 2B. The linear member 5C has a ninth swing shaft portion 54 inserted through a pair of second connecting members 2B. The sixth swing shaft portion 51 and the seventh swing shaft portion 52 are line-symmetrical when viewed from the left-right direction X2 (see Fig. 9). The line Q shown in Fig. 9 indicates the center line of the line symmetry. Moreover, the eighth oscillation shaft portion 53 and the ninth oscillation shaft portion 54 are not line-symmetric but have different shapes.

[0068] 9, sixth oscillation shaft portion 51 has shaft body 510 extending in up-down direction X3. An end portion (bent end portion 51b) of shaft body 510 opposite to engaging portion 51a that engages with a part of head body 10A has bent portions 55 (55A, 55B) that are bent one or more times (twice here) in a direction intersecting the axial direction of sixth oscillation shaft portion 51. That is, first bent portion 55A is formed by bending at a substantially right angle from bent end portion 51b of shaft body 510, and second bent portion 55B is further formed by bending downward from the tip of first bent portion 55A.

[0069] Seventh oscillating shaft portion 52 has a shaft body 520 extending in the up-down direction X3. An end portion (bent end portion 52b) of shaft body 520 opposite to engaging portion 52a that engages with a part of trunk body 10B has bent portions 56 (56A, 56B) that are bent one or more times (here, two times) in a direction intersecting the axial direction of seventh oscillating shaft portion 52. That is, a first bent portion 56A is formed by bending at a substantially right angle from bent end portion 52b of shaft body 520, and a second bent portion 56B is further formed by bending downward from the tip of first bent portion 56A.

[0073] In this way, in the third embodiment, the bent portions 55, 56 of the oscillating shaft portions 51, 52 of the linear members 5A, 5B arranged at the connecting portion between the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B are line-symmetrical with each other, so that one first connecting member 2A connecting the front and rear linear members 5A, 5B can be inserted through both the bent portions 55, 56 and easily moved to the oscillating shaft portions 51, 52, and the first connecting member 2A can be arranged at predetermined positions of both the oscillating shaft portions 51, 52. Therefore, the linear members 5A, 5B and the first connecting member 2A can be assembled in advance integrally into a desired shape, and the linear members 5A, 5B and the first connecting member 2A integrated together can be sandwiched between the bodies 10A, 10B divided in two in the left-right direction for manufacturing, improving assembly.

[0074] Furthermore, in this third embodiment, multiple first connecting members 2A are arranged at one connection portion between the head bodies 11, 10B, so even in a configuration in which multiple (here, two) first connecting members 2A are provided at one connection portion, these multiple first connecting members 2A can be connected to the oscillating shaft portions 51, 52 of the pair of front and rear linear members 5A, 5B to form an integrated unit.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by setting the range of the above formula (1), the first connecting member 2A can be moved smoothly at the bent portions 55, 56 when assembling the first connecting member 2A to the pair of front and rear linear members 5A, 5B.

[0076] (First Modification) In the first modified example shown in FIG. 11, the bent portions 55, 56 provided at the bent ends 51b, 52b of the swing shaft portions 51, 52 provided on the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B of the lure 10B of the third embodiment described above are bent three times. That is, the bent portion 51 of the swing shaft portion 51 has a first bent portion 55A, a second bent portion 55B, and a third bent portion 55C bent further 90° in the left-right direction from the second bent portion 55B. The bent portion 56 of the swing shaft portion 52 has a first bent portion 56A, a second bent portion 56B, and a third bent portion 56C bent further 90° in the left-right direction from the second bent portion 56B. Both third bent portions 55C, 56C are bent in opposite directions to the left and right, respectively. The bent portions 55, 56 according to the first modified example are also line-symmetrical when viewed from the left-right direction X2. The line Q shown in FIG. 11 indicates the center line of the line symmetry.

[0077] In the first modified example, as in the above third embodiment, when assembling the lure 1B, the two first connecting members 2A can be simultaneously inserted through the sixth oscillating shaft portion 51 and the seventh oscillating shaft portion 52 from the ends 55b, 56b of the third bent portions 55C, 56C, respectively, and moved in the order of the second bent portions 55B, 56B and the first bent portions 55A, 56A, and further moved to the positions of the shaft bodies 510, 520.

[0078] Although the embodiments of the lure according to the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. The embodiments and their modifications include, for example, those that can be easily imagined by a person skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, those within the scope of equivalents, and the like.

[0079] For example, in the above embodiment, the linear member provided on each body 10 of the lures 1 and 1A has a connecting portion for connecting a fishing line or a fishing hook in addition to the swing shaft portion, but the lure may be composed only of a linear member without a connecting portion.

[0080] Although the connection part for connecting the fishing line or the fishing hook is a curved part formed on the linear member, it is not limited to being a curved part. In addition, the curved part is not limited to being configured to protrude outside the body 10, and may be located inside the lure.

[0081] In this embodiment, an engagement groove into which the linear member engages is formed on the inner surface of the body 10, but as long as the linear member is held in the body 10, the configuration is not necessarily limited to one in which the body 10 has an engagement groove.
