Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, jointed lures having a body divided into a plurality of sections in the front-rear direction have been known as fishing lures (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-97526 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in conventional jointed lures such as that described in Patent Document 1, the swingable angle of the joint is set within a range of ±90 degrees to achieve the desired swimming action, which causes problems such as an unstable flight posture during flight and a limited flight distance, leaving room for improvement in this regard.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a lure that stabilizes the flying posture of the lure during flight and can increase the flight distance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A first aspect of the lure of the present invention comprises a body divided into multiple parts in the front-to-rear direction, a connecting member connecting a pair of connecting parts facing each other at the front and rear of the body, a retaining part provided on at least one of the pair of connecting parts, a first swing shaft provided on one of the connecting parts, swingably supporting the connecting member and guiding the connecting member between a first position and a second position held by the retaining part, and a second swing shaft provided on the other connecting part, swingably supporting the connecting member, and is characterized in that when the connecting member at one of the connecting parts is in the first position, the front and rear bodies move in directions away from each other.

[0007] According to the first aspect of the lure of the present invention, when the lure is swum, the front and rear bodies are brought close to each other, and the connecting member is maintained in the second position held by the holding portion provided on one of the connecting portions. This restricts the swinging of the bodies relative to each other, allowing the bodies to swing at a small swing angle. Therefore, the swing angle of the rear body relative to the front body is limited to a limited range, for example, ±90 degrees or less, which allows for a swimming action in the swimming posture. On the other hand, when the lure is flying, the front and rear bodies are moved away from each other relatively due to centrifugal force caused by flight, and the connecting member moves away from the holding portion and from the second position on the first swing axis to the first position. In other words, as the front and rear bodies are moved away from each other, the area where the bodies interfere with each other becomes smaller, and the swing angle becomes larger. Therefore, when the lure is flying, the swing angle can be set to be greater than, for example, ±90 degrees, and the lure assumes a flying posture with the tail side of the rear body facing forward. This stabilizes the flight posture of the lure during flight, allowing for an increased casting distance.

[0008] (2) In aspect 2 of the present invention, when the lure of aspect 1 has a movable swing angle of 0 degrees in a posture in which the front and rear bodies are positioned in a straight line in the fore-and-aft direction, it is preferable that in the second position, the movable swing angle of the rear second body relative to the front first body is ±90 degrees or less, and in the first position, the movable swing angle exceeds ±90 degrees.

[0009] In this case, the second body can swing within a range of ±90 degrees relative to the first body, allowing for the desired swimming action. In addition, the second body can swing within a range of ±90 degrees in flight, allowing for a more stable flight posture of the lure and an increased casting distance.

[0010] (3) In a third aspect of the present invention, in the lure of the second aspect, at least one of the front and rear bodies preferably has a restricting portion that restricts the movable swing angle between the bodies in the second position to ±90 degrees or less.

[0011] In this case, the limiting portion can limit the swingable angle of the connecting member in the second position to ±90 degrees or less.

[0012] (4) Aspect 4 of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of any one of aspects 1 to 3, the first swing shaft comprises a swing shaft portion that supports the connecting member at the first position, and a guide portion that guides the connecting member from the swing shaft portion in a direction approaching the holding portion, and the guide portion gradually inclines forward as it approaches the holding portion.

[0013] In this case, when centrifugal force is not acting on the lure, the connecting member is held by the holding portion and guided by the first swing shaft to move from the first position to the second position. At this time, the connecting member moves diagonally forward, guided by the inclined guide portion of the first swing shaft, so the front and rear bodies move in a direction toward each other. Therefore, when the connecting member is in the second position, the swing of the connecting member around the first swing shaft is restricted, and the rear body swinging around the second swing shaft also moves closer to the front body, limiting its swing range, so a desirable swimming posture can be achieved without a large swing angle.

[0014] (5) A fifth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of any one of the first to fourth aspects, the second swing shaft gradually tilts rearward as the connecting member moves toward the second position.

[0015] In this case, when centrifugal force is not acting on the lure, the connecting member is held by the holding section and guided by the first and second swing shafts to move from the first position to the second position. At this time, the connecting member is guided by the inclined second swing shaft to move diagonally backward, causing the front and rear bodies to move in a direction toward each other. When the lure is flying and centrifugal force is acting on the lure, the connecting member moves to the first position. At this time, the connecting member is guided by the inclined second swing shaft to move diagonally forward, causing the front and rear bodies to move in a direction away from each other. In other words, the rear body (on the second swing shaft side) can also move the front and rear bodies in a direction away from each other, which increases the distance between the front and rear bodies and efficiently increases the swing movable angle.

[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 holding portion is a magnet, and the connecting member is formed of a magnetic material.

[0017] In this case, the connecting member and the holding portion (magnet) can be attached and detached easily with a simple structure by magnetic force.

[0018] (7) Aspect 7 of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the lure of any one of aspects 1 to 6, at least one of the pair of connecting portions has an end surface facing the front-to-rear direction, which has an attachment portion to which a functional member can be attached and detached.

[0019] In this case, when the connecting member is in a swingable position, the swing angle between the front and rear bodies is maximized to expose the end face of the connecting portion, allowing the functional member to be attached and detached to the mounting portion provided on this end face. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the lure of the present invention, the strength of the connection portion between the divided bodies can be increased, and the swing shaft portion of the connection portion can be prevented from falling off. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the 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 to make each component large enough to be visible.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a lure 1 of the embodiment is used for fishing, has a body made of hard plastic, and is an example of a jointed lure modeled after the shape of a small fish.

[0024] Here, in the lure 1, the direction in which the head and tail are connected in a straight line is defined as the front-to-back 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-to-back direction X1 when viewed from above is defined as the left-to-right direction X2, and the up-to-down direction of the lure 1 when it is in a swimming position is defined as the up-to-down direction X3, and the following description will be given based on this.

[0025] The lure 1 is formed in a streamlined shape that mimics a fish, and is integrally formed by joining the peripheral edges of a pair of halves of a body 10 together by adhesive bonding, welding, or the like. The body 10 is divided into two halves in the front-to-back direction X1, with a head body 10A (first body) located on the front side and a trunk body 10B (second body) located on the rear side and having a tail portion 10C, which are provided so as to be swingable in the left-to-right direction X2. Each of the bodies 10A and 10B forms a hollow portion.

[0026] 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 trunk body 10B). That is, the lure 1 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.

[0027] The head body 10A is provided on the head side and is formed in a shape that roughly resembles the front half of a fish. A line eye 13 is provided at the front end 10a of the head body 10A. A first hook eye 14A for connecting a hook 15 for hooking a fish is provided at the underside 10c of the head body 10A.

[0028] The head body 10A is connected to the trunk body 10B via connecting portions 11 and 12 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2. The front connecting portion 11 is located at the rear of the head body 10A. The rear connecting portion 12 is located at the front of the trunk body 10B. The front connecting portion 11 and the rear connecting portion 12 face each other in the front-rear direction X1 when the lure 1 is not swinging. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the head body 10A includes a pair of connecting members 2A and 2B swingably connected to the trunk body 10B, and swing shafts 3A and 3B swingably supporting the connecting members 2A and 2B.

[0029] The pair of connecting members 2A, 2B connects a pair of connecting portions 11, 12 facing each other in the front-to-rear direction of the bodies 10A, 10B, respectively. The pair of connecting members 2A, 2B are arranged spaced apart above and below the approximate center of the lure 1 in the up-down direction X3. The pair of connecting members 2A, 2B are provided to be swingable relative to the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B, respectively. That is, the connecting members 2A, 2B swingably support the trunk body 10B relative to the head body 10A so that it can be folded to the left and right. In this embodiment, the connecting members 2A and 2B are provided as a pair, one above the other, but the number of connecting members is not particularly limited. For example, there may be one connecting member, or three or more connecting members may be arranged in the vertical direction X3.

[0030] The connecting members 2A and 2B are long, plate-shaped members made of, for example, stainless steel (SUS), a magnetic material. The connecting members 2A and 2B have shaft holes 2a and 2b formed at both longitudinal ends thereof, penetrating in the thickness direction. The connecting members 2A and 2B are arranged with their longitudinal directions facing the front-rear direction X1 and their faces perpendicular to the up-down direction X3. That is, the connecting members 2A and 2B are attached to the bodies 10A and 10B with the axial directions of the shaft holes 2a and 2b aligned with the up-down direction X3. The front-side first shaft hole 2a is arranged inside the head body 10A, and a first pivot shaft 3A of the head body 10A is inserted through the front-side first shaft hole 2a. The rear-side second shaft hole 2b is arranged inside the trunk body 10B, and a second pivot shaft 3B (described later) of the trunk body 10B is inserted through the rear-side second shaft hole 2b.

[0031] The first shaft hole 2a and the second shaft hole 2b are elongated holes extending along the longitudinal direction of the connecting members 2A, 2B. The front first shaft hole 2a has a longer hole length than the rear second shaft hole 2b.

[0032] The front connecting portion 11 at the rear of the head body 10A has a first recess 11a that accommodates the front portions of the pair of connecting members 2A, 2B. The height of the first recess 11a is greater than the thickness of the connecting members 2A, 2B and is set to a predetermined dimension that allows the connecting members 2A, 2B to move in the up-down direction X3.

[0033] A central wall 11b between the pair of upper and lower first recesses 11a provided in the front connecting part 11 is provided with a retaining portion 40 made of a magnet that magnetically holds each of the pair of upper and lower connecting members 2A, 2B. The central wall 11b has a hollow portion 11c. The retaining portion 40 is engaged with the hollow portion 11c. The wall thickness of the central wall 11b on the hollow portion 11c and first recess 11a side is set to an appropriate thickness that allows a magnetic force to act to hold the connecting members 2A, 2B placed in the first recess 11a.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the first oscillation shaft 3A is a rod-shaped member made of metal, and is made of, for example, a high-strength thick wire with an outer diameter of approximately 2 mm. The first oscillation shaft 3A is provided in the front connecting portion 11 and supports the pair of connecting members 2A, 2B in the first shaft hole 2a so that they can oscillate. The first oscillation shaft 3A guides the connecting members 2A, 2B between a first position P1 (see Figures 3 and 5) away from the central wall portion 11b in the vertical direction X3, and a second position P2 (see Figure 4) where the connecting members 2A, 2B are held by the holding portion 40.

[0035] Here, in the lure 1, the first position P1 is a posture in which the swingable angle θ between the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B is greater than ±90 degrees (see Figure 9), and the second position P2 is a posture in which the swingable angle between the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B is less than ±90 degrees (see Figure 7).

[0036] The central wall 11b has a first locking hole 11d that locks the support shaft 31 at the center of the first oscillation shaft 3A when inserted in the up-down direction X3. The first oscillation shaft 3A has first recesses 11a above and below the support shaft 31, in which the connecting members 2A and 2B are disposed.

[0037] The first oscillating shaft 3A includes a support shaft portion 31 located in the center in the vertical direction X3, a locking portion 32 that locks onto the upper wall portion 11e and the lower wall portion 11f of the front connecting portion 11 of the head body 10A, a oscillating shaft portion 33 that supports the pair of connecting members 2A, 2B at the first position P1, and a guide portion 34 that guides the connecting members 2A, 2B from the oscillating shaft portion 33 in a direction approaching the holding portion 40.

[0038] The pivot shaft 33 and the guide portion 34 are located in the first recess 11a. The pivot shaft 33 extends in the up-down direction X3. The guide portion 34 is connected to both the pivot shaft 33 and the support shaft 31 and gradually inclines forward as it approaches the holding portion 40. The connecting members 2A, 2B are provided slidably and pivotably along the pivot shaft 33 and the guide portion 34. The connecting members 2A, 2B are movable in the front-rear direction X1 within the first recess 11a. That is, at the second position P2 held by the holding portion 40, the connecting members 2A, 2B are in contact with the central wall portion 11b and positioned forward, and at the first position P1, they are positioned away from the central wall portion 11b and positioned rearward. When the connecting members 2A and 2B are subjected to a force pulling them rearward, they gradually move in a direction away from the central wall portion 11b as they move rearward in the first recessed portion 11a.

[0039] The trunk body 10B is connected to the head body 10A via connecting portions 11 and 12 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction X2. The rear connecting portion 12 at the front of the trunk body 10B has second recesses 12a that accommodate the rear portions of the pair of connecting members 2A and 2B. The height of the second recesses 12a is greater than the thickness of the connecting members 2A and 2B and is set to a predetermined dimension that allows the connecting members 2A and 2B to move in the up-down direction X3. The rear connecting portion 12 has a central wall portion 12b between the pair of upper and lower second recesses 12a.

[0040] The second oscillation shaft 3B is a rod-shaped member made of metal, and is made of, for example, a high-strength thick wire with an outer diameter of approximately 2 mm. The second oscillation shaft 3B is provided in the rear connecting portion 12 and supports the pair of connecting members 2A, 2B in the second shaft hole 2b so that they can oscillate. The second oscillation shaft 3B guides the connecting members 2A, 2B between a position away from the central wall portion 12b in the vertical direction X3 (the same position as the first position P1) and a position close to the central wall portion 12b (the same position as the second position P2).

[0041] The central wall 12b has a second locking hole 12d that locks the support shaft 35 at the center of the second oscillation shaft 3B when inserted in the up-down direction X3. The upper and lower sides of the support shaft 35 on the second oscillation shaft 3B are located in second recesses 12a in which the connecting members 2A and 2B are arranged, respectively.

[0042] The second oscillating shaft 3B includes a support shaft portion 35 located in the center in the vertical direction X3, a locking portion 36 that locks onto the upper wall portion 12e and the lower wall portion 12f of the rear connecting portion 12 of the torso body 10B, and a oscillating shaft portion 37 that supports the pair of connecting members 2A, 2B at the first position P1 and the second position P2.

[0043] The pivot shaft 37 is located in the second recess 12a. The pivot shaft 37 is connected between the locking portion 36 and the support shaft 35 and gradually tilts rearward as it approaches the central wall 12b at the second position P2. The connecting members 2A and 2B are slidable and pivotable along the pivot shaft 3. The connecting members 2A and 2B are movable in the front-to-rear direction X1 within the second recess 12a. That is, at the second position P2, the connecting members 2A and 2B are in contact with the central wall 12b and positioned forward, and at the first position P1, they are separated from the central wall 12b and positioned rearward.

[0044] In the lure 1 configured in this manner, when the connecting members 2A, 2B of the front connecting portion 11 are at the first position P1, the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B move in directions that separate them from each other.

[0045] Next, the swing range and swing movable angle θ of the front and rear bodies 10A and 10B of the lure 1 will be described. As shown in Figures 6 to 9, when the swingable angle θ of the lure 1 is 0 degrees in a posture in which the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B are positioned in a straight line in the front-to-rear direction X1, at the second position P2, the swingable angle θ of the rear second body relative to the front head body 10A is ±90 degrees or less, and at the first position P1, the swingable angle θ exceeds ±90 degrees.

[0046] 4 and 6, the first recess 11a in the front connecting portion 11 has a first restriction wall 11g (restriction portion) that restricts the swing of the connecting members 2A, 2B relative to the first swing shaft 3A at the second position P2. Also, the second recess 12a in the rear connecting portion 12 has a second restriction wall 12g (restriction portion) that restricts the swing of the connecting members 2A, 2B relative to the second swing shaft 3B at the second position P2.

[0047] The first restriction walls 11g are disposed in front of the first recess 11a and are located on the left and right sides of the connecting members 2A and 2B. The distance between the opposing first restriction walls 11g is approximately equal to the width of the front portions of the connecting members 2A and 2B in the left-right direction X2. In the head body 10A, the connecting members 2A and 2B are restricted from swinging by the first restriction walls 11g at the second position P2 shown in FIG. 6, and are released from the restriction by the first restriction walls 11g at the first position P1 shown in FIG. 8, allowing them to swing.

[0048] The second restriction walls 12g are disposed in front of the second recess 12a and are located on the left and right sides of the connecting members 2A and 2B. The pair of left and right second restriction walls 12g are inclined so that the distance between them increases toward the front. The swingable angle θ of the connecting members 2A and 2B at the second position P2 restricted by the pair of second restriction walls 12g is ±90 degrees or less. In the trunk body 10B, the swing range of the connecting members 2A and 2B is restricted by the second restriction walls 12g at the second position P2 shown in FIG. 7, and at the first position P1 shown in FIG. 9, the restriction by the second restriction walls 12g is released, allowing the connecting members 2A and 2B to swing within a swing range larger than that at the second position P2.

[0049] In the lure 1 configured in this manner, by providing the first restriction wall 11g and the second restriction wall 12g, the movable swing angle θ between the bodies 10A and 10B at the second position P2 is restricted to ±90 degrees or less, and when in the first position P1, the front and rear bodies 10A and 10B move in directions away from each other, the restriction on swing by the first restriction wall 11g and the second restriction wall 12g is released, and the movable swing angle θ between the bodies 10A and 10B becomes greater than ±90 degrees.

[0050] 10, the rear end surface 11h of the front connecting part 11 has an attachment part 17 at the upper end of the rear end surface 11h to which the dorsal fin part 16 (functional member) can be detachably attached. The dorsal fin part 16 has flange parts 16a that protrude to the left and right. The attachment part 17 has an insertion opening 17a that opens at the rear end surface 11h and an engagement groove 17b into which the flange part 16a of the dorsal fin part 16 is inserted from the opening side and engages. The insertion opening 17a of the attachment part 17 exposes the dorsal fin part 16 so that it can be detached when the trunk body 10B in the first position P1 swings by more than 90 degrees relative to the head body 10A.

[0051] Next, the operation of the lure 1 configured as above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The fishing lure 1 according to this embodiment includes bodies 10A, 10B divided into multiple pieces in the front-to-rear direction X1, connecting members 2A, 2B connecting a pair of connecting portions 11, 12 facing each other at the front and rear of the bodies 10A, 10B, a holding portion 40 provided on the front connecting portion 11 of the pair of connecting portions 11, 12, a first swing shaft 3A provided on the front connecting portion 11 to swingably support the connecting members 2A, 2B and guide the connecting members 2A, 2B between a first position P1 and a second position P2 where the first connecting portion 11 is held by the holding portion 40, and a second swing shaft 3B provided on the other rear connecting portion 12 to swingably support the connecting members 2A, 2B. When the connecting members 2A, 2B at the front connecting portion 11 are at the first position P1, the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B move in directions away from each other.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the lure 1 is swam, the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B approach each other, maintaining the connecting members 2A, 2B in the second position P2 held by the holder 40 provided on the front connecting portion 11. This restricts the bodies 10A, 10B from swinging relative to each other, allowing them to swing at a small swing angle θ. Therefore, the swing angle θ of the rear torso body 10B relative to the front head body 10A is limited to a range of, for example, ±90 degrees or less, allowing for a swimming action in a swimming posture. Meanwhile, when the lure 1 is flying, the centrifugal force generated by flight causes the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B to move away from each other relatively, and the connecting members 2A, 2B move away from the holder 40 and from the second position P2 to the first position P1 on the first swing axis 3A. In other words, as the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B move away from each other, the area where the bodies 10A, 10B interfere with each other becomes smaller, increasing the swing angle θ. Therefore, when the lure 1 flies, the swingable angle θ can be set to be greater than ±90 degrees, for example, and the lure 1 assumes a flying posture with the tail side of the rear trunk body 10B facing forward. Therefore, the flying posture of the lure 1 during flight is stable, and the flight distance can be increased.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the swingable angle θ is 0 degrees in a posture in which the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B are positioned on a straight line in the front-rear direction X1, the swingable angle θ of the rear torso body 10B relative to the front head body 10A is ±90 degrees or less at the second position P2, and the swingable angle θ exceeds ±90 degrees at the first position P1. With this configuration, the swingable angle θ of the torso body 10B relative to the head body 10A is ±90 degrees or less, so that the desired swimming action can be achieved. Furthermore, in the flying posture, the swingable angle θ exceeds ±90 degrees, so that the flying posture of the lure 1 during flight can be more reliably stabilized, and the flight distance can be increased.

[0054] In this embodiment, the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B are provided with restriction walls 11g, 12g that restrict the swingable angle θ between the bodies 10A, 10B at the second position P2 to ±90 degrees or less. With this configuration, the swingable angle θ of the connecting members 2A, 2B at the second position P2 can be restricted to ±90 degrees or less by the restriction walls 11g, 12g.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first swing shaft 3A includes a swing shaft portion 33 that supports the connecting members 2A, 2B at the first position P1, and a guide portion 34 that guides the connecting members 2A, 2B from the swing shaft portion 33 in a direction approaching the holding portion 40. The guide portion 34 gradually tilts forward as it approaches the holding portion 40. With this configuration, when no centrifugal force is acting on the lure 1, the connecting members 2A, 2B are held by the holding portion 40 and guided by the first swing shaft 3A to move from the first position P1 to the second position P2. At this time, the connecting members 2A, 2B move diagonally forward while being guided by the inclined guide portion 34 of the first swing shaft 3A, and therefore the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B move in a direction approaching each other. Therefore, when the connecting members 2A, 2B are in the second position P2, the swinging of the connecting members 2A, 2B around the first swing axis 3A is restricted, and the swinging range of the rear torso body 10B, which swings around the second swing axis 3B, is also limited by being close to the front head body 10A, so that a suitable swimming posture can be achieved without a large swing movable angle θ.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second swing shaft gradually tilts rearward as the connecting members 2A, 2B move toward the second position P2. As a result, when centrifugal force is not acting on the lure 1, the connecting members 2A, 2B are held by the holder 40 and guided by the first swing shaft 3A and the second swing shaft 3B to move from the first position P1 to the second position P2. At this time, the connecting members 2A, 2B move diagonally rearward, guided by the inclined second swing shaft 3B, so the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B move in directions toward each other. During flight, when centrifugal force is acting on the lure 1, the connecting members 2A, 2B move to the first position P1. At this time, the connecting members 2A, 2B move diagonally forward, guided by the inclined second swing shaft 3B, so the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B move in directions away from each other. In other words, the rear trunk body 10B (on the second swing axis 3B side) can also be moved in a direction that moves the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B away from each other, thereby increasing the distance between the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B and efficiently increasing the swing movable angle θ.

[0057] In this embodiment, the holding portion 40 is a magnet. The connecting members 2A, 2B are made of a magnetic material. This allows the connecting members 2A, 2B and the holding portion 40 made of a magnet to be attached and detached easily by magnetic force with a simple structure.

[0058] In this embodiment, the front connecting part 11 has an end face (rear end face 11h) facing the front-rear direction with an attachment part 17 to which the dorsal fin part 16 can be detachably attached. As a result, when the connecting members 2A, 2B are in the swingable position, the swingable angle θ between the front and rear bodies 10A, 10B is maximized to expose the rear end face 11h of the front connecting part 11, thereby making it possible to attach and detach the dorsal fin part 16 to the attachment part 17 provided on this end face.

[0059] In the lure 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the flying posture of the lure 1 during flight is stable, and the flight distance can be increased.

[0060] 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 spirit 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, and those that are equivalent.

[0061] For example, in the above embodiment, the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B are divided into two parts in the front-rear direction X1, and the connecting parts 11 and 12 are used as the swing mechanism, but the number of divisions in the front-rear direction of the lure body is not limited to two, and may be, for example, three. In the case of a body divided into three parts, the connecting parts of each body can be provided with a swing mechanism similar to the connecting parts 11 and 12 in the above embodiment.

[0062] In addition, in this embodiment, the holding portion 40 is provided on the front connecting portion 11 of the front head body 10A, but the holding portion 40 may be provided only on the rear connecting portion 12 of the rear torso body 10B, or may be provided on both the front connecting portion 11 and the rear connecting portion 12.

[0063] In addition, in this embodiment, the head body 10A and the trunk body 10B are configured with the restriction walls 11g and 12g in the recesses 11a and 12a, respectively, but this is not limited to this. That is, either the first restriction wall 11g or the second restriction wall 12g may be used. Furthermore, without being limited to these restriction walls 11g and 12g, a restriction unit with another configuration that restricts the swingable angle between the bodies 10A and 10B in the second position to ±90 degrees or less may be used. Alternatively, the restriction unit itself may be omitted.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first oscillation shaft 3A is configured to include an oscillation shaft portion 33 that supports the connecting members 2A, 2B at the first position P1, and a guide portion 34 that guides the connecting members 2A, 2B in a direction from the oscillation shaft portion 22 toward the holding portion 40, and the guide portion 34 is configured to gradually tilt forward as it approaches the holding portion 40, but is not limited to this configuration. Similarly, in this embodiment, the second oscillation shaft 3B is configured to gradually tilt rearward as the connecting members 2A, 2B move toward the second position P2, but is not limited to this configuration.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, a configuration in which the holding portion 40 is a magnet is shown as an example, but it is not limited to a magnet. For example, it is sufficient if the connecting members 2A, 2B can be held at the second position P2 by an elastic member, a biasing member (spring member), or the like, and the connecting members 2A, 2B are configured to be at the first position P1 when the front and rear bodies are separated.
