A lure according to the present disclosure includes, for example, a front body, a fishing hook locked to the front body, and a rear body having a groove portion, wherein the groove portion of the rear body hides at least a part of the fishing hook, the front body and the rear body are connected to be relatively slidable, and when the front body and the rear bod relatively slide, the fishing hook protrudes from the rear body.

Claims (41)

1 . A lure, comprising:

a front body;

a fishing hook locked to the front body;

a rear body having a groove portion, and

an elastic member extending along a sliding direction of the front body and the rear body,

wherein the groove portion of the rear body hides at least a part of the fishing hook,

the front body and the rear body are connected to be relatively slidable, the front body and the rear body slide in a direction away from each other from an initial form to a fishing hook protrusion form in which the fishing hook protrudes from the rear body, and

in the fishing hook protrusion form, the elastic member urges the front body and the rear body toward the initial form.

2 . The lure according to claim 1 , wherein

the rear body includes a sliding surface with the front body, and

an angle formed by the sliding surface and a plane;

wherein the plane includes a point at a longest distance from the sliding surface in the rear body, and a straight line on the sliding surface that passes through a center point of the sliding surface and intersects perpendicularly to a sliding direction, and

the angle is between 5 to 95 degrees.

3 . The lure according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum slide distance of the front body and the rear body is 6 to 50 mm.

4 . The lure according to claim 1 , comprising:

a shaft; and

a shaft hole through which the shaft is inserted, wherein

the shaft is provided at one of the front body and the rear body, and

9 . A lure, comprising:

a front body;

a fishing hook locked to the front body;

a rear body having a groove portion, and

an elastic member,

wherein the groove portion of the rear body hides at least a part of the fishing hook,

the front body and the rear body are connected to be relatively slidable,

when the front body and the rear body relatively slide, the fishing hook protrudes from the rear body,

the elastic member urges the front body and the rear body in opposite directions from each other,

the elastic member is a compression coil spring,

a natural length of the compression coil spring when no load is applied is 6.1 to 50.1 mm, and a spring constant is 0.01 to 0.7 N/mm, and
