Abstract
The present inventive concept relates to an artificial bait with movable hooks that is capable of easily catching cephalopods such as octopus ocellatus, cuttlefish, and the like underwater. According to the present inventive concept, in the process of performing hook setting, the movable hooks located at one end portion of the body move to the other end portion of the body, so that the cuttlefish around the body can be easily caught by the movable hooks suddenly protruding outward.
Claims8
An artificial bait comprising:
- a body having a first end portion and a second end portion arranged at opposite ends of the body along a longitudinal direction of the body and also having an exterior surface defining a relatively wide region and a relatively narrow region arranged between the first end portion and a second end portion along the longitudinal direction;
- a hook member movable relative to the first end portion and the second end portion of the body along the longitudinal direction;
- and
- an elastic part connected between the body and the hook member,
- wherein the hook member comprises:
- a wire connected to the elastic part;
- movable hooks connected to the wire;
- and
- a connector connected to the wire and, the connector passing through the second end portion of the body, wherein the connector is connectable to a fishing line,
- wherein the elastic part is located within the body and is configured to apply an elastic force to the hook member such that the movable hooks are locatable within the relatively wide region in the absence of an external force greater than the elastic force applied to the connector,
- wherein the body and hook member are configured such that the movable hooks are locatable to the relatively narrow region in the presence of an external force greater than the elastic force applied to the connector, and
- wherein the movable hooks are sized to fit within the relatively wide region of the body but protrude outside the relatively narrow region of the body.

- wherein the body and hook member are configured such that the movable hooks are locatable to a second location between the first end portion and the second end portion in the presence of an external force greater than the elastic force applied to the connector,
- wherein the body comprises:
- a first body, a movable body, and a second body extending sequentially in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a sliding guide portion formed in the longitudinal direction through which the wire is movable,
- wherein the movable body has guide holes formed in the longitudinal direction through which the movable hooks are movable,
- wherein the guide holes extend from the sliding guide portion to an exterior surface of the body.
