  • Publication number: 20220039363
    Abstract: A lure basically includes a body containing a cavity, a swinging part and a rod. The body is configured to move in a forward direction by reeling a fishing line. The swinging part is movably mounted in the body so as to be movable in the cavity after the body changes from a moving state to a stopped state. The rod extends inside the cavity in a left-right direction of the body with respect to the forward direction. The rod has a pair of opposite ends. Each end of the rod is fixed to the body. The rod penetrates the swinging part to restrict the movement of the swinging part in the body.
