Abstract

A fishing lure includes a main body portion with a cavity provided inside of the main body portion; a plurality of elastic members with end portions attached to the main body portion; a swing member that swings and is attached to the elastic members and swings, wherein the swing member is visible from the outside of the main body portion and at least two points of the swing members are supported by the elastic members.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fishing lure comprising:
a main body portion with a cavity provided inside of the main body portion;
a swing member disposed within the cavity and visible from outside of the main body portion, wherein the swing member is suspended within the cavity of the main body portion by at least three independent elastic members,
wherein the at least three independent elastic members comprise:
a first elastic member mounted in a first orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of the main body portion;
a second elastic member mounted in a second orientation relative to the longitudinal axis of the main body portion; and
a third elastic member mounted in a third orientation relative to the longitudinal axis of the main body portion, wherein the first, second, and third orientations are different from each other, and

wherein each of the at least three independent elastic members extends between portions of the swing member and the main body portion such that free rotation of the swing member is prevented by at least one of the at least three independent elastic members.

2. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the swing member is provided with a weight.

3. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the swing member has an end portion provided with a weight.

4. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the first elastic member has a longitudinal direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the second elastic member.

5. The lure according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more additional elastic members, wherein the swing member comprises a plurality of swing portions coupled to each other by the one or more additional elastic members, and the swing portions are supported by the main body portion via the at least three independent elastic members and/or the one or more additional elastic members.

6. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least three independent elastic members comprise spring members.

7. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the swing member has at least a portion in a V shape as viewed in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the swing member.

8. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the swing member is configured to reflect light from the outside.

9. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein the swing member has at least a portion formed in a corrugated shape as viewed in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the swing member.

10. The lure according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the swing member is formed to be a corrugated shape.
