[0056] The first engagement recess 7c1 and the second engagement recess 7c2 are separately provided on the outer surface of the weight 7, for example, on both side surfaces of the weight 7. Each of the first engagement recess 7c1 and the second engagement recess 7c2 is recessed in a concave shape from each side surface of the weight 7. The first engagement recess 7c1 and the second engagement recess 7c2 respectively engage with the first protruding portion 15a of the guide portion 15 and the second protruding portion 15b of the guide portion 15. In this state, the weight main body 7a is disposed between the first protruding portion 15a and the second protruding portion 15b.
Restricting Member
[0057] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the restricting member 9 serving as the restricting portion restricts at least one end portion of the support part 5 from moving in the front-rear direction relative to the main body 13. In the present embodiment, the restricting member 9 restricts the rear end portion of the support part 5 from moving forward relative to the main body 13.
[0058] The restricting member 9 is attached to the rear end portion of the support part 5. Specifically, the restricting member 9 is a member that is larger than the width of the second slit portion 19. In the present embodiment, the restricting member 9 is caulked to the rear end portion of the support member 5.
[0059] The restricting member 9 is disposed behind 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.
Biasing Member
[0060] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the biasing member 11 biases the weight 7 at least in the forward direction. In the present embodiment, the biasing member 11 is a coil spring. The biasing member 11 is disposed between the weight 7 and the rear wall 25. Specifically, the biasing member 11 is disposed between the weight 7 and a spring receiving member disposed in front of the rear wall 25. The biasing member 11 is compressed in a state in which the weight 7 is disposed at the first position on the head 13a side.
[0061] In the lure 1 having the configuration described above, the weight 7 moves along the guide portion 15 (first protruding portion 15a and second protruding portion 15b) between either one of the first position on the head 13a side (refer to FIG. 2) and the second position on the tail 13b side (refer to FIG. 3), and the other of the first position on the head 13a side and the second position on the tail 13b side. When this weight 7 moves, the support part 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction in accordance with the position of the weight 7.
[0062] With this configuration, it is possible to suitably set the position of the center of gravity of the lure 1 while stabilizing the attitude and the position of the center of gravity of the weight 7.
[0063] Additionally, in the lure 1, the restricting member 9 restricts the rear end portion of the support part 5 from moving forward relative to the main body 13, so the support part 5 can be reliably positioned with respect to the main body 13 by the restricting member 9.
[0064] In addition, in the lure 1, the first slit portion 17 and the second slit portion 19 guide both end portions of the support part 5 in the intersecting direction (up-down direction), so the direction of movement of the support part 5 can be easily set with the first slit portion 17 and the second slit portion 19.
[0065] Additionally, in the lure 1, the guide portion 15 (first protruding portion 15a and second protruding portion 15b) extend in the front-rear direction and/or the intersecting direction such that, when in the second position on the tail 13b side (refer to FIGS. 3 and 6), the weight 7 is located above the first position on the head 13a side (refer to 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 high on the tail 13b side.
[0066] In addition, in the lure 1, the first protruding portion 15a of the guide portion 15 and the second protruding portion 15b of the guide portion 15 respectively engage with the first engagement recess 7c1 of the weight 7 and the second engagement recess 7c2 of the weight 7, so it is possible to stably move the weight 7 along the guide portion 15.
[0067] Additionally, in the lure 1, the biasing member 11 biases the weight 7 at least in the forward direction, so the weight 7 can be easily returned to the head 13a side.
Modified Example
[0068] One embodiment of the present disclosure was described above, but the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described first embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0069] In the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the guide portion 15 (first protruding portion 15a and second protruding portion 15b) extends, from the head 13a to the tail 13b, diagonally upward from the lower portion of the main body 13 to the upper portion of the main body 13. As long as the guide portion 15 can guide the weight 7 in either one of the front-rear direction or the intersecting direction, the guide portion 15 may extend in a direction different from that of the first embodiment, in a mode that is different from that of the first embodiment.
[0070] In the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the guide portion 15 (first protruding portion 15a and second protruding 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.
[0071] In the first embodiment, an example was shown in which the restricting member 9 is attached to the rear end portion of the support part 5. The restricting member 9 may be attached to both the front end portion and the rear end portion of the support part 5. In addition, the restricting member 9 may be attached only to the front end portion of the support part 5. In this case, the restricting member 9 provided on the front end portion of the support part 5 is disposed in front of the front wall 23 (first front wall 23a and second front wall 23b). This restricting member 9 restricts the front end portion of the support part 5 from moving rearward relative to the main body 13.
Second Embodiment
[0072] The configuration of the second embodiment is essentially 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, configurations that are the same as the first embodiment are given the same codes as the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, descriptions of configurations that are the same as the first embodiment are omitted. The descriptions of configurations omitted in the second embodiment follows the descriptions in the first embodiment.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 7, the outer shape of the main body 13 is formed in a a streamlined shape that is long in one direction from the front to the rear.

Specifically, the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 is provided on the lower inner surface of the head 13a of the main body 13. The first hook eye housing protrusion 41 is a protruding portion that protrudes upward from the lower inner surface of the head 13a. In the present embodiment, in a state in which the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 is formed to protrude upward from the lower inner surface of the head 13a.
[0075] As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 is provided on the inner surface of the main body 13. Specifically, the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 is provided on the lower inner surface of the trunk 13c of the main body 13. The second hook eye housing protrusion 115 is a protruding portion that protrudes upward from the lower inner surface of the trunk 13c. In the present embodiment, in a state in which the first main body 29 and the second main body 31 are joined together, the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 is formed to protrude upward from the lower inner surface of the trunk 13c.
[0076] As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the guide rib 116 guides the weight 7 in the front-rear direction and limits 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 housing protrusion 41 and the second hook eye housing protrusion 115. In the present embodiment, in a state in which 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, spaced apart from the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 and the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 in the up-down direction.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 8, the weight 7 is formed so as to avoid the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 when disposed at the 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 at the second position on the tail 13b side. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the weight 7 includes the weight main body 7a, the hole portion 7b, and a step portion 107c. The hole portion 7b is provided in the weight main body 7a. The hole portion 7b penetrates the weight main body 7a in the front-rear direction. The support part 5 is inserted into the hole portion 7b.
[0078] As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the step portion 107c is provided on the lower surface of the weight main body 7a at the front portion of the weight main body 7a. The step portion 107c is formed in a stepped shape such that the lower surface of the front portion of the weight main body 7a is positioned above the lower surface of the rear portion of the weight main body 7a. The depth of the step of the step portion 107c is preferably greater than the height of the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 and the height of the rear portion of the second hook eye housing protrusion 115.
[0079] As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, the weight 7 is disposed below the guide rib 116. In this state, the weight 7 moves in the front-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 in front of the second hook eye housing protrusion 115.
[0080] In this case, the step portion 107c is disposed on the first hook eye housing protrusion 41. As a result, the front portion of the weight 7 is disposed between the guide rib 116 and the first hook eye housing protrusion 41 in the up-down direction. That is, due to the presence of the step portion 107c of the front portion of the weight 7, the weight 7 does not interfere with the first hook eye housing protrusion 41. The position and attitude of the weight 7 in the front-rear direction are determined by the front wall 23 and the biasing member 11.
[0081] While the weight 7 moves between the first position on the head 13a side (refer to FIG. 8) and the second position on the tail 13b side (refer to FIG. 10), as shown in FIG. 9, the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 functions as a guide portion and positions the center of gravity of the weight 7 upward. As a result, the weight 7 moves between the guide rib 116 and the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 in the up-down direction.
[0082] In this case, the lower surface of the weight 7 comes in contact with the upper surface of the second hook eye housing protrusion 115, which functions as a guide portion. The step portion 107c is disposed spaced apart from the upper surface of the second hook eye housing protrusion 115. When this weight 7 moves, the support part 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction in accordance with the position of the weight 7 that passes over the second hook eye housing protrusion 115.
[0083] As shown in FIG. 10, when the weight 7 is disposed at the second position on the head 13a side, the rear portion of the weight 7 is disposed rearward of the second hook eye housing protrusion 115. In this case, the step portion 107c is disposed on the second hook eye housing protrusion 115. As a result, the front portion of the weight 7 is disposed between the guide rib 116 and the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 in the up-down direction. That is, due to the presence of the step portion 107c of the front portion of the weight 7, the weight 7 does not interfere with the second hook eye housing protrusion 115.
[0084] In this configuration, the weight 7 is offset upward in the trunk 13c when moving between the first position on the head 13a side (refer to FIG. 8) and the second position on the tail 13b side (refer to FIG. 10). Specifically, the weight 7 avoids the second hook eye housing protrusion 115 when moving from one of the first position on the head 13a side (refer to FIG. 8) and the second position on the tail 13b side (refer to FIG. 10), to the other of the first position on the head 13a side (refer to FIG. 8) and the second position on the tail 13b side (refer to FIG. 10). As a result, it is possible to set the center of gravity of the lure 1 to be low when the weight is disposed in the first position on the head 13a side (refer to FIG. 8) and the second position (refer to FIG. 10).
Modified Example
[0085] One embodiment of the present disclosure was described above, but the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described second embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0086] In the second embodiment, an example was shown in which the restricting member 9 is attached to the rear end portion of the support part 5. The restricting member 9 may be attached only tot the front end portion of the support part 5, or to both the front end portion and the rear end portion of the support part 5. In this case, the restricting member 9 provided on the front end portion of the support part 5 is disposed in front of the front wall 23 (first front wall 23a and second front wall 23b). This restricting member 9 restricts the front end portion of the support part 5 from moving rearward relative to the main body 13.
Additional Embodiments
[0087] In the first and second embodiments, examples were 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.
[0088] In this case, the guide portion 15 is removed from FIGS. 2-6 of the first embodiment, and the guide rib 116 is removed from FIGS. 8-10 of the second embodiment. In this configuration, the weight 7 moves along the support part 5 in accordance with an external force that acts on the lure 1, in a state of being supported by the support part 5. At this time, the support part 5 elastically deforms in the intersecting direction in accordance with the position of the weight 7.
[0089] In addition, the weight 7 may be biased forward by the elastic force of the support part 5. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to suitably set the position of the center of gravity of the lure 1 while stabilizing the attitude and the position of the center of gravity of the weight 7.
