Abstract
A lure includes a body, a weight, a guide member and an elastic member. The body is hollow and has a head in a front portion and a tail in a rear portion thereof. The weight is inside of the body so as to be movable in a front-rear direction. The guide member is in the body and configured to guide movement of the weight in the front-rear direction. The elastic member is in the body and is configured to generate an energizing force to move the weight in a forward direction. The weight is movable backward against the energizing force of the elastic member and one of the weight and the elastic member is inserted into an inside of the other.
Claims15
A lure comprising:
- a body that is hollow and having a head in a front portion and a tail in a rear portion thereof;
- a weight inside of the body so as to be movable in a front-rear direction;
- a guide member in the body and configured to guide movement of the weight in the front-rear direction, the guide member being stationary relative to the body;
- and
- a coil spring in the body and configured to generate an energizing force to move the weight in a forward direction,
- the weight configured to be movable backward against the energizing force of the coil spring, and configured to enter an inside of a portion of the coil spring in a compressed condition and configured to be exposed from the portion of the coil spring in a stretched condition, the weight being sized and configured to enter an inside of a portion of the coil spring in a compressed condition so as to enable a center of gravity to be at a tail side during casting and the center of gravity closer to the head when underwater.
A lure comprising:
- a body that is hollow and having a head in a front portion and a tail in a rear portion thereof;
- a weight inside of the body so as to be movable in a front-rear direction;
- a guide member in the body and configured to guide movement of the weight in the front-rear direction, the guide member being stationary relative to the body;
- and
- an elastic member in the body and configured to generate an energizing force to move the weight in a forward direction,
- the weight configured to be movable backward against the energizing force of the elastic member, and the weight being sized and configured to enter an inside of a portion of the coil spring in a compressed condition so as to enable a center of gravity to be at a tail side during casting and the center of gravity closer to the head when underwater, and
- the elastic member has a first point connected to a front wall of the body and a second point located behind the first point, where the elastic member is connected directly to a rear end of the weight;
- and
- the elastic member is configured to be stretched by the weight when moving backward when casting.
