Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] The lure described in Patent Document 1 has a body, a shaft, a weight, and an elastic member. The shaft is formed from a straight wire material. The shaft extends linearly in the front-to-rear direction inside the body. The weight is supported by a guide member inside the body so as to be movable in the front-to-rear direction. The elastic member biases the weight forward.

[0003] In this type of lure, when the lure is cast, the weight moves linearly along the shaft toward the tail side due to inertial force while compressing the elastic member. When the lure hits the water, the weight is pushed linearly back along the shaft toward the head side by the biasing force of the elastic member. This movement of the weight ensures that the lure maintains its position when cast and when hit. Furthermore, when the lure is swimming, the weight moves linearly back and forth along the shaft in response to external forces acting on the lure. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-193921 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 3448184 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the lure of Patent Document 1, the shaft is formed in a straight line. In this case, the movement path of the weight is limited to a straight line, and depending on the shape and internal structure of the lure, it becomes difficult to place the weight in an optimal position. In other words, the movement path of the weight affects the shape and internal structure of the lure. In the lure of Patent Document 2, multiple weights are guided by a movement path formed inside the lure. In this case, the shape of the weight is limited to a sphere or a similar shape, and the position of the weight (the position of the center of gravity of the entire weight) in the movement path is not stable.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a lure in which the center of gravity position, including the movement path of the weight, can be suitably set. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a lure comprises a main body, a support portion, a weight, and a guide portion. The main body has a head at the front and a tail at the rear. The support portion extends in the front-to-rear direction inside the main body. The support portion is configured to be elastically deformable in a transverse direction that intersects with the front-to-rear direction. The weight is supported by the support portion inside the main body. The guide portion is provided on the inner surface of the main body. The guide portion guides the weight in at least one of the front-to-rear direction and the transverse direction.

[0008] In this lure, the weight moves while being guided by the guide section. At this time, the support section elastically deforms in the cross direction depending on the position of the weight. With this configuration, the position of the center of gravity of the lure can be suitably set while stabilizing the posture and the position of the center of gravity of the weight. In addition, the movement path of the weight can be suitably set.

[0009] With respect to the second aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first aspect further includes a restricting portion. The restricting portion restricts at least one end of the support portion from moving in the front-rear direction relative to the main body. With this configuration, the support portion can be reliably positioned relative to the main body by the restricting portion.

[0010] With respect to a third aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first or second aspect further includes a slit portion. The slit portion is provided on the head side and at least the head side of the tail side. The slit portion guides the end of the support portion in the crossing direction. With this configuration, the moving direction of the support portion can be easily set by the slit portion.

[0011] With respect to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first or second aspect is configured as follows: The weight moves between a first position on the head side and a second position on the tail side. The guide portion extends in at least one of the front-rear direction and the cross direction so that the weight is located higher at the second position on the tail side than at the first position on the head side. With this configuration, when the weight is located at the second position on the tail side, the center of gravity of the lure can be set higher on the tail side.

[0012] With respect to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the fourth aspect is configured as follows. The guide portion is a convex portion protruding from the inner surface of the main body, or a concave portion recessed from the inner surface of the main body. The weight has an engaging portion that engages with the convex portion or the concave portion. This configuration allows the weight to move stably along the guide portion.

[0013] With regard to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first or second aspect is configured as follows: The main body further has a trunk portion provided between the head and the tail. A guide portion is provided on the trunk portion so that the weight moves on the trunk portion above a first position on the head side and a second position on the tail side.

[0014] In this configuration, when the weight moves between the first position on the head side and the second position on the tail side, it is offset upward in the body. For example, when the weight moves from the first position on the head side to the second position on the tail side, the center of gravity of the lure can be positioned in the vertical center in the body, and then the center of gravity of the lure can be set to a low center of gravity at the second position on the tail side.

[0015] With respect to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the sixth aspect is configured as follows: The guide portion is a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the lower side of the body. With this configuration, the weight can be easily offset upward in the body.

[0016] With regard to an eighth aspect of the present invention, the lure according to the first or second aspect further includes a biasing member that biases the weight at least in the forward direction. With this configuration, the weight can be easily returned to the head side.

[0017] According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, a lure includes a main body, a support portion, a weight, and a biasing member. The main body has a head at the front and a tail at the rear. The support portion extends in the front-to-rear direction inside the main body. The support portion is configured to be elastically deformable in a direction intersecting the front-to-rear direction. The weight is supported by the support portion inside the main body. The biasing member biases the weight at least toward the head.

[0018] In this lure, the weight moves while being guided by the support part. During this movement, the support part elastically deforms in the cross direction according to the position of the weight. With this configuration, the posture of the weight and the position of the center of gravity of the weight can be stabilized, and the position of the center of gravity of the lure can be suitably set. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention, the position of the center of gravity of the lure can be suitably set, including the movement path of the weight. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] [First embodiment] In the first embodiment, the lure according to the present invention will be described using the lure 1 shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the lure 1 includes a body 3, a support portion 5, a weight 7, a restricting member 9 (an example of a restricting member), and a biasing member 11.

[0022] (body) 2, the body 3 has a main body 13, a guide portion 15, a first slit portion 17, a second slit portion 19, and a positioning portion 27. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the main body 13 has a head 13a at the front, a tail 13b at the rear, and a trunk portion 13c at the middle provided between the head 13a and the tail 13b.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the external shape of the main body 13 is formed in a streamlined shape that is long in one direction from the front to the rear. In the lure 1, where a fishing line (not shown) is connected to the line eye 18, the direction in which the lure 1 moves as it is pulled by the fishing line is determined as "front" and "forward." The direction in which the lure 1 moves forward in the water toward the water surface is determined as "upward." The direction in which the lure 1 moves toward the bottom of the water is determined as "downward." The left-right direction is perpendicular to the front-back direction and the up-down direction. The crossing direction intersects with the front-back direction.

[0024] Body

[0025] 1, the main body 13 includes a first main body 29 and a second main body 31. The first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are formed by dividing the main body 13 by a plane defined by the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the first main body 29 includes a first joint surface 29a. The first joint surface 29a extends in the front-to-rear direction. A first front wall 23a is provided on the inner lateral surface of the first main body 29 on the head 13a side. The first front wall 23a extends in the up-down direction. A first rear wall 25a is provided on the inner lateral surface of the first main body 29 on the tail 13b side. The first rear wall 25a extends in the up-down direction.

[0027] A first positioning wall 27a is provided on the inner lateral surface on the tail 13b side of the first main body 29. The first positioning wall 27a is provided between the first front wall 23a and the first rear wall 25a in the front-rear direction. The first positioning wall 27a extends in the up-down direction.

[0028] 1, the second body 31 is disposed opposite the first body 29. The second body 31 is configured to be a mirror image of the first body 29. That is, the configuration of the second body 31 is substantially the same as the configuration of the first body 29. For this reason, the configuration of the second body 31 that corresponds to the configuration of the first body 29 is given the symbol b, and the configuration of the second body 31 given the symbol b is shown in parentheses in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.

[0029] 2, 3, and 4, by joining the first joining surface 29a of the first main body 29 and the joining surface 29b of the second main body 31, an internal space S is formed between the first main body 29 and the second main body 31. In this state, the first front wall 23a and the second front wall 23b are disposed at an interval from each other in the left-right direction. With this configuration, a first slit portion 17, which will be described later, is formed in the front wall 23. The support portion 5 is inserted into the first slit portion 17.

[0030] The first rear wall 25a and the second rear wall 25b are disposed at an interval from each other in the left-right direction. With this configuration, a second slit portion 19 is formed in the rear wall 25. The support portion 5 is inserted into the second slit portion 19.

[0031] The first positioning wall 27a and the second positioning wall 27b form the positioning portion 27. The first positioning wall 27a and the second positioning wall 27b are arranged at an interval from each other in the left-right direction. With this configuration, the positioning portion 27 is formed with a third slit portion 22. The support portion 5 is inserted into the third slit portion 22.

[0032] Guide section 2 and 3, the guide portion 15 is used to guide the weight 7 in at least one of the front-rear direction and the cross direction. The guide portion 15 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13. In this embodiment, as the weight 7 moves toward a first position on the head 13a side shown in FIG. 2 and a second position on the tail 13b side shown in FIG. 3, the guide portion 15 positions the center of gravity of the weight 7 upward.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 2, the first position on the head 13a side is a position in which the weight 7 is disposed at the most forward position on the head 13a side. As shown in Fig. 3, the second position on the tail 13b side is a position in which the weight 7 is disposed at the most rearward position on the tail 13b side.

[0034] 2, 3, 4, and 5, the guide portion 15 has a first protrusion 15a and a second protrusion 15b. The first protrusion 15a is provided on the inner surface of the first main body 29, for example, on the inner surface of a side of the first main body 29. The first protrusion 15a protrudes from the inner surface of the side of the first main body 29. The second protrusion 15b is provided on the inner surface of the second main body 31, for example, on the inner surface of a side of the second main body 31. The second protrusion 15b protrudes from the inner surface of the side of the second main body 31.

[0035] 2, 3, and 5, the first convex portion 15a and the second convex portion 15b extend in at least one of the front-rear direction and the transverse direction so that the weight 7 is positioned lower at a first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 2) than at a second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 3). In this embodiment, the first convex portion 15a and the second convex portion 15b extend in the transverse direction so that the weight 7 moves upward from the first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 2) toward the second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 3).

[0036] 4, in a side view of the inner lateral surface of the first body 29 seen from the second body 31 side, the first protrusion 15a extends obliquely upward from the lower part of the first body 29 toward the upper part of the first body 29 as it moves from the head 13a toward the tail 13b. The front end of the first protrusion 15a is connected to the lower part of the front wall 23 of the first body 29 on the head 13a side. The rear end of the first protrusion 15a is connected to the inner upper surface of the first body 29.

[0037] A second protrusion 15b is provided on the inner surface of the second main body 31. The second protrusion 15b is provided on the inner surface of the second main body 31 so as to be a mirror image of the first protrusion 15a. For this reason, the description of the second protrusion 15b follows the description of the first protrusion 15a.

[0038] When the first body 29 and the second body 31 are joined together, the first protrusion 15a and the second protrusion 15b are arranged facing each other. In this state, the first protrusion 15a and the second protrusion 15b are engaged with the first engaging recess 7c1 and the second engaging recess 7c2 of the weight body 7, respectively, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line V in Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI in Fig. 3.

[0039] Slit section 2, 3, and 4, the first slit portion 17 is provided inside the main body 13 on the head 13a side. More specifically, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the first slit portion 17 is provided between the first front wall 23a of the first main body 29 and the second front wall 23b of the second main body 31. The first slit portion 17 guides the front end of the support portion 5 in the cross direction. More specifically, the first slit portion 17 guides the front end of the support portion 5 in the up-and-down direction.

[0040] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the second slit portion 19 is provided inside the main body 13 on the tail 13b side. Specifically, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the second slit portion 19 is provided between the first rear wall 25a of the first main body 29 and the second rear wall 25b of the second main body 31. The second slit portion 19 guides the rear end of the support portion 5 in the cross direction. Specifically, the second slit portion 19 guides the rear end of the support portion 5 in the up-and-down direction.

[0041] Positioning part 2, 3, and 4, the positioning portion 27 is provided inside the main body 13 on the tail 13b side. In detail, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the positioning portion 27 is formed by the first positioning wall 27a of the first main body 29 and the second positioning wall 27b of the second main body 31.

[0042] 3, the positioning portion 27 positions the weight 7 at a second position on the tail 13b side. Specifically, when the weight 7 moves rearward, the rear portion of the weight 7 abuts against the positioning portion 27, thereby positioning the weight 7 at the second position on the tail 13b side.

[0043] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the third slit portion 22 of the positioning portion 27 is provided inside the main body 13 on the tail 13b side. More specifically, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the third slit portion 22 is provided between the first positioning wall 27a of the first main body 29 and the second positioning wall 27b of the second main body 31. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the third slit portion 22 guides the rear end of the support portion 5 in the intersecting direction. More specifically, the second slit portion 19 guides the rear end of the support portion 5 in the up-and-down direction.

[0044] (Support part) As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the support part 5 supports the weight 7. The support part 5 extends substantially in the front-to-rear direction inside the main body 13. The support part 5 is configured to be elastically deformable. The support part 5 is arranged in the main body 13. Specifically, the support part 5 is a shaft member that is long in one direction. The support part 5 is preferably an elastically deformable wire. The front end part of the support part 5 is inserted into the first slit part 17. The rear part of the support part 5 is inserted into the third slit part 22. The rear end part of the support part 5 is inserted into the second slit part 19.

[0045] In this state, when the weight 7 moves along the guide portion 15, the support portion 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction, and the front end portion of the support portion 5, the rear portion of the support portion 5, and the rear end portion of the support portion 5 move up and down separately inside the first slit portion 17, the third slit portion 22, and the second slit portion 19 depending on the position of the weight 7.

[0046] (pyramid) As shown in Figures 2 and 3, weight 7 is supported by support portion 5 inside main body 13. Weight 7 moves along guide portion 15. Weight 7 moves between a first position on the head 13a side (see Figure 2) and a second position on the tail 13b side (see Figure 3). The first position on the head 13a side is a position where the front part of weight 7 abuts against front wall 23. The second position on the tail 13b side is a position where the rear part of weight 7 abuts against positioning portion 27.

[0047] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the weight 7 has a weight main body 7a, a hole 7b, and an engagement portion 7c. The hole 7b is provided in the weight main body 7a. The hole 7b penetrates the weight main body 7a in the front-to-rear direction. The support portion 5 is inserted into the hole 7b. The engagement portion 7c is provided on the outer surface of the weight main body 7a. The engagement portion 7c engages with the guide portion 15. The engagement portion 7c has a first engagement recess 7c1 and a second engagement recess 7c2.

[0048] The first engagement recess 7c1 and the second engagement recess 7c2 are provided separately on the outer surface of the weight 7, for example, on both side surfaces of the weight 7. The first engagement recess 7c1 and the second engagement recess 7c2 are recessed from the respective side surfaces of the weight 7. The first engagement recess 7c1 and the second engagement recess 7c2 engage with the first protrusion 15a and the second protrusion 15b of the guide part 15, respectively. In this state, the weight main body 7a is disposed between the first protrusion 15a and the second protrusion 15b.

[0049] (Regulating member) 2 and 3, the restricting member 9 as a restricting portion restricts at least one end of the support portion 5 from moving in the front-to-rear direction relative to the main body 13. In this embodiment, the restricting member 9 restricts the rear end of the support portion 5 from moving forward relative to the main body 13.

[0050] The regulating member 9 is attached to the rear end of the support part 5. Specifically, the regulating member 9 is a member whose width is larger than the width of the second slit part 19. In this embodiment, the regulating member 9 is fixed to the rear end of the support part 5 by caulking.

[0051] The restricting member 9 is disposed rearward of the first rear wall 25a and the second rear wall 25b. Specifically, the restricting member 9 is disposed in a space surrounded by the inner surface of the tail 13b of the main body 13, the rear surface of the first rear wall 25a, and the rear surface of the second rear wall 25b.

[0052] (biasing member) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the biasing member 11 biases the weight 7 at least in the forward direction. In this embodiment, the biasing member 11 is a coil spring. The biasing member 11 is disposed between the weight 7 and the rear wall 25. More specifically, the biasing member 11 is disposed between the weight 7 and a spring bearing member disposed in front of the rear wall 25. When the weight 7 is disposed in the first position on the head 13a side, the biasing member 11 is compressed.

[0053] In the lure 1 having the above configuration, the weight 7 moves along the guide portion 15 (first convex portion 15a and second convex portion 15b) between either a first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 2) or a second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 3) and the other of the first position on the head 13a side or the second position on the tail 13b side. When the weight 7 moves, the support portion 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction according to the position of the weight 7.

[0054] With this configuration, the position of the center of gravity of the lure 1 can be suitably set while stabilizing the posture of the weight 7 and the position of the center of gravity of the weight 7.

[0055] Furthermore, in the lure 1, the restricting member 9 restricts the rear end of the support part 5 from moving forward relative to the main body 13, so that the support part 5 can be reliably positioned relative to the main body 13 by the restricting member 9.

[0056] In addition, in the lure 1, the first slit portion 17 and the second slit portion 19 guide both ends of the support portion 5 in the intersecting direction (up and down direction), so that the movement direction of the support portion 5 can be easily set by the first slit portion 17 and the second slit portion 19.

[0057] Furthermore, in the lure 1, the guide portion 15 (first convex portion 15a and second convex portion 15b) extends in at least one of the front-rear direction and the cross direction so that the weight 7 is located higher at the second position on the tail 13b side (see FIGS. 3 and 6) than at the first position on the head 13a side (see FIGS. 3 and 5). With this configuration, when the weight 7 is located at the second position on the tail 13b side, the center of gravity of the lure 1 can be set higher on the tail 13b side.

[0058] Furthermore, in the lure 1, the first convex portion 15a of the guide portion 15 and the second convex portion 15b of the guide portion 15 engage with the first engagement recess 7c1 of the weight 7 and the second engagement recess 7c2 of the weight 7, respectively, so that the weight 7 can be moved stably along the guide portion 15.

[0059] Furthermore, in the lure 1, the biasing member 11 biases the weight 7 at least in the forward direction, so that the weight 7 can be easily returned to the head 13a side.

[0060] <Modification> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0061] In the first embodiment, an example has been shown in which the guide portion 15 (first convex portion 15a and second convex portion 15b) extends obliquely upward from the lower portion of the main body 13 toward the upper portion of the main body 13 as it moves from the head 13a toward the tail 13b. The guide portion 15 may have a different form and may extend in a different direction from that of the first embodiment, as long as it can guide the weight 7 in at least one of the front-rear direction and the intersecting direction.

[0062] In the first embodiment, an example has been shown in which the guide portion 15 (first convex portion 15a and second convex portion 15b) protrudes from the inner surface of the main body 13. The guide portion 15 may be recessed from the inner surface of the main body 13. In this case, the engagement portion 7c of the weight 7 is formed in a convex shape.

[0063] In the first embodiment, an example has been shown in which the regulating member 9 is attached to the rear end of the support portion 5. The regulating member 9 may be attached to both the front end and the rear end of the support portion 5. Alternatively, the regulating member 9 may be attached only to the front end of the support portion 5. In this case, the regulating member 9 provided at the front end of the support portion 5 is disposed in front of the front wall 23 (the first front wall 23a and the second front wall 23b). This regulating member 9 regulates the front end of the support portion 5 from moving rearward relative to the main body 13.

[0064] [Second embodiment] The configuration of the second embodiment is substantially the same as the configuration of the first embodiment, except for the configuration of the body 3 of the first embodiment and the configuration of the weight 7 of the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, a description of the same components as those in the first embodiment will be omitted. The description of the components omitted in the second embodiment follows the description of the first embodiment.

[0065] As shown in Figure 7, the external shape of the main body 13 is formed in a streamlined shape that is long in one direction from the front to the rear. As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, the lure 1 includes a body 3, a support portion 5, a weight 7, and a biasing member 11. The body 3 has the main body 13, a first hook eye storage protrusion 41, a second hook eye storage protrusion 115, a guide rib 116, a first slit portion 17, a second slit portion 19, and a positioning portion 27.

[0066] As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, the first hook eye accommodating protrusion 41 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13. Specifically, the first hook eye accommodating protrusion 41 is provided on the lower inner surface of the head 13a of the main body 13. The first hook eye accommodating protrusion 41 is a protrusion that protrudes upward from the lower inner surface of the head 13a. In this embodiment, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the first hook eye accommodating protrusion 41 is formed to protrude upward from the lower inner surface of the head 13a.

[0067] As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, the second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13. Specifically, the second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115 is provided on the lower inner surface of the trunk portion 13c of the main body 13. The second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115 is a protrusion that protrudes upward from the lower inner surface of the trunk portion 13c. In this embodiment, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115 is formed to protrude upward from the lower inner surface of the trunk portion 13c.

[0068] As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, the guide rib 116 guides the weight 7 in the front-to-rear direction and restricts the upward movement of the weight 7. The guide rib 116 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13. The guide rib 116 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13 above the first hook eye accommodating protrusion 41 and the second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115. In this embodiment, when the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the guide rib 116 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13 at a distance from the first hook eye accommodating protrusion 41 and the second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115 in the up-down direction.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 8, the weight 7 is formed so as to avoid the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 when disposed in a first position on the head 13a side. As shown in FIG. 10, the weight 7 is formed so as to avoid the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 when disposed in a second position on the tail 13b side. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the weight 7 has a weight main body 7a, a hole 7b, and a step portion 107c. The hole 7b is provided in the weight main body 7a. The hole 7b penetrates the weight main body 7a in the front-to-rear direction. The support part 5 is inserted into the hole 7b.

[0070] 8, 9, and 10, step portion 107c is provided on the underside of weight main body 7a at the front portion. Step portion 107c is formed in a stepped shape so that the underside of the front portion of weight main body 7a is located higher than the underside of the rear portion of weight main body 7a. The depth of step portion 107c is preferably greater than the height of first hook eye receiving protrusion 41 and the height of the rear portion of second hook eye receiving protrusion 115.

[0071] 8, 9, and 10, the weight 7 is disposed below the guide rib 116. In this state, the weight 7 moves in the front-to-rear direction along the guide rib 116. As shown in FIG. 8, when the weight 7 is disposed at the first position on the head 13a side, the weight 7 is disposed forward of the second hook eye housing protrusion 115.

[0072] In this case, step portion 107c is positioned on first hook eye housing protrusion 41. As a result, the front portion of weight 7 is positioned between guide rib 116 and first hook eye housing protrusion 41 in the up-down direction. In other words, the presence of step portion 107c on the front portion of weight 7 prevents weight 7 from interfering with first hook eye housing protrusion 41. The position and attitude of weight 7 in the front-to-back direction are determined by front wall 23 and biasing member 11.

[0073] While the weight 7 moves between a first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 8) and a second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 10), as shown in FIG. 9, the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 functions as a guide and positions the center of gravity of the weight 7 upward. This allows the weight 7 to move between the guide rib 116 and the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 in the up-and-down direction.

[0074] In this case, the lower surface of weight 7 comes into contact with the upper surface of second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115, which functions as a guide. Step portion 107c is disposed at a distance from the upper surface of second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115. When weight 7 moves, support portion 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction according to the position of weight 7 passing over second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 10 , when weight 7 is positioned in the second position on the head 13a side, the rear of weight 7 is positioned rearward of second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115. In this case, step 107c is positioned on second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115. As a result, the front of weight 7 is positioned between guide rib 116 and second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115 in the up-down direction. In other words, due to the presence of step 107c at the front of weight 7, weight 7 does not interfere with second hook eye accommodating protrusion 115.

[0076] In this configuration, the weight 7 is offset upward in the body 13c when moving between a first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 8) and a second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 10). Specifically, the weight 7 avoids the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 when moving from either the first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 8) or the second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 10) to the other of the first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 8) or the second position on the tail 13b side (see FIG. 10). This allows the center of gravity of the lure 1 to be set low when the weight 7 is positioned at the first position on the head 13a side (see FIG. 8) or the second position (see FIG. 10)

[0077] <Modification> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the second embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0078] In the second embodiment, an example has been shown in which the restricting member 9 is attached to the rear end of the support portion 5. The restricting member 9 may be attached only to the front end of the support portion 5, or may be attached to both the front end and the rear end of the support portion 5. In this case, the restricting member 9 provided at the front end of the support portion 5 is disposed in front of the front wall 23 (the first front wall 23a and the second front wall 23b). This restricting member 9 restricts the front end of the support portion 5 from moving rearward relative to the main body 13.

[0079] [Other embodiments] In the first and second embodiments, examples have been shown in which the lure 1 has the guide portion 15 and the guide rib 116, but the lure 1 may be configured without using the guide portion 15 and the guide rib 116 of the first embodiment.

[0080] In this case, the guide portion 15 is removed from Figures 2 to 6 of the first embodiment, and the guide rib 116 is removed from Figures 8 to 10 of the second embodiment. In this configuration, the weight 7, while supported by the support portion 5, moves along the support portion 5 in response to an external force acting on the lure 1. At this time, the support portion 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction depending on the position of the weight 7.

[0081] Moreover, the weight 7 may be biased forward by the elastic force of the support part 5. Even with this configuration, the position of the center of gravity of the lure 1 can be suitably set while stabilizing the posture of the weight 7 and the position of the center of gravity of the weight 7.
