Abstract

A fishing lure comprises a head; a hook connected to the head; an arm rotatably connected to the head with the lateral direction of the head as a rotation axis, the rotation axis located inside the head; and a blade connected to the arm. The rotation locus formed when the arm is rotated may be included in a plane with the lateral direction of the head as perpendicular line. The arm may be restricted from moving in the lateral direction of the head.

Claims (55)

1. A fishing lure comprising:

a head;

a hook connected to the head;

an arm rotatably connected to the head with a lateral direction of the head as a rotation axis, the rotation axis located inside the head; and

a blade connected to the arm,

wherein

the arm comprises a limited range of rotation around the rotation axis,

the arm comprises an upper arm having a rear end connected with the blade and a lower arm connected to the head,

the blade has two through holes for connecting the upper arm and the blade,

the rear end of the upper arm includes a first bent portion and a second bent portion inserted into the two through holes of the blade, respectively, and

when the fishing lure is in use in the water, a distance from a center point between the two through holes to a top of the blade is longer than a distance from the center point to a bottom of the blade,

the head comprises a head body and a notch provided in front of the head body, and

the rotation axis is positioned so as to cross the notch and included in a pin member arranged inside the notch.

2. The fishing lure according to claim 1 , wherein

the arm is connected to the head in a non-detachable manner.

3. The fishing lure according to claim 1 , wherein

the upper arm further has a bend part, and

a portion of the upper arm located between the bend part and the blade extends rearwardly.

4. The fishing lure according to claim 1 , wherein

a rotation locus formed when the arm is rotated is included in a plane with the lateral direction of the head as a perpendicular line.

5. The fishing lure according to claim 1 , wherein

the arm is restricted from moving in the lateral direction of the head.

6. The fishing lure according to claim 1 , wherein

a ring shape member located at a rear end of the head body.

7. A fishing lure comprising:

a head;

a hook connected to the head;

an arm rotatably connected to the head with a lateral direction of the head as a rotation axis, the rotation axis located inside the head; and

a blade connected to the arm,

wherein

the arm comprises a limited range of rotation around the rotation axis,

the arm comprises an upper arm having a rear end connected with the blade and a lower arm connected to the head,

the blade has two through holes for connecting the upper arm and the blade,

the rear end of the upper arm includes a first bent portion and a second bent portion inserted into the two through holes of the blade, respectively,

when the fishing lure is in use in the water, a distance from a center point between the two through holes to a top of the blade is longer than a distance from the center point to a bottom of the blade, and

the blade is bent so as to form a bend line extending widthwise through the center point.

8. The fishing lure according to claim 7 , wherein

the lower arm is provided with a guard member extending backward and downward.

9. The fishing lure according to claim 7 , wherein

the head comprises a head body and a ring shape member embedded in front of the head body,

a center line passing through a center of the ring shape member extends in a vertical direction, and

the arm is connected to the head via the ring shape member and is overlapped with the head body in side view.

10. A fishing lure comprising:

a head;

a hook connected to the head;

an arm rotatably connected to the head with a lateral direction of the head as a rotation axis, the rotation axis located inside the head; and

a blade connected to the arm,

wherein

the arm comprises a limited range of rotation around the rotation axis,

the arm comprises an upper arm having a rear end connected with the blade and a lower arm connected to the head,

the blade has two through holes for connecting the upper arm and the blade,

the rear end of the upper arm includes a first bent portion and a second bent portion inserted into the two through holes of the blade, respectively,

when the fishing lure is in use in the water, a distance from a center point between the two through holes to a top of the blade is longer than a distance from the center point to a bottom of the blade,

the head comprises a protective member made of a material harder than the head at a tip, and

the rotation axis is positioned so as to cross the protective member.
