Abstract

The invention relates to a fishing lure. The lure of the invention has long projections extending in a short direction formed in a plurality of columns on the lure main body, and a long groove traversing the long projections of the plurality of columns formed thereon. A predetermined color is given to a left side surface of the long projection, and a color different from the above color is given to a right side surface of the long projection. The color of the lure changes according to a viewing direction. Furthermore, air bubbles are unlikely to attach when the lure is floating in water.

Claims

1. A fishing lure comprising:

a lure main body;

long projections projecting from an outside surface of the lure main body and extending in one direction of the lure main body;

a plurality of columns of the long projections are formed lined in another direction of the lure main body;

a long groove traversing the long projections of the plurality of columns is formed on the outside surface of the lure main body in another direction of the lure main body;

a first colored part given a predetermined color is arranged on a left side surface of the long projection; and

a second colored part given a color different from the color of the first colored part is arranged on a right side surface of the long projection,

wherein

the one direction of the lure main body is a short direction of the lure main body and the another direction of the lure main body is formed extending in a longitudinal direction of the lure main body,

the outside surface of the lure main body is an outermost surface of the fishing lure, and

the long projections have a plurality of varying lengths.

2. The lure according to claim 1, wherein the first colored part and the second colored part are arranged on all the long projections formed on the lure main body.

3. The lure according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of the long groove are formed.

4. The lure according to claim 1, wherein the long projections and the long groove are formed entirely or partially on a side surface of a core of the lure main body.

5. The lure according to claim 1, wherein an interval between the adjacent long projections is formed not less than 0.7 mm and not more than 2.5 mm.

6. The lure according to claim 1, wherein a vertex of the long projection is formed into a flat plane.

7. The lure according to claim 1, wherein the long groove traversing the long projections of the plurality of columns is formed at a central position on both side surfaces of the lure main body.

8. The lure according to claim 7, further comprising an upper long groove and a lower long groove at upper and lower parts respectively on the both side surfaces of the lure main body.

9. The lure according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the long projections includes a vertex part having a linear shape.

10. The lure according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the long projections includes a vertex part having an angular shape.

11. The lure according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the long projections includes a vertex part having a circular arc shape.

12. The lure according to claim 1, wherein the long groove is non-linear.

13. The lure according to claim 1, wherein an interval between the adjacent long projections is designed to channel air bubbles.

14. The lure according to claim 1, wherein the long groove is designed to release air bubbles.

15. The lure according to claim 1, wherein a depth of the long groove is formed to be substantially the same as a depth of an interval between the adjacent long projections.

16. The lure according to claim 1, wherein a width of the long groove is formed not less than 0.5 mm and not more than 10 mm.

17. The lure according to claim 1, wherein the long projections and the long groove are in contact with water.

18. A lure comprising:

a lure main body; and

long projections of varying lengths projecting in a short direction from an outside surface of the lure main body, and said long projections are formed linearly in a plurality of columns in a longitudinal direction of the lure main body substantially parallel to each other,

wherein

a long groove traversing the long projections of the plurality of columns is formed on the outside surface of the lure main body in a longitudinal direction of the lure main body,

a first colored part having a predetermined color is arranged on a left side surface of at least one of said long projections, and a second colored part having a color different from the color of the first colored part is arranged on a right side surface of said at least one of said long projections, and

the outside surface of the lure main body is an outermost surface of the lure.
