For example, instead of the pin 40, the attachment member 20 and the fishhook 30 may be fixed to the lure body 10 using a fastening member such as a screw, a pin without a head, or the like. Moreover, the pin 40 may not be a cotter pin that splits into two, but may be one that bends only in one direction.

(effect)
According to the lure 1 of this embodiment described above, since the lure main body 10, the attached member 20, and the fishhook 30 are fixed together with the pin 40, the attachment and removal operations can be easily performed. That is, by simply inserting the pin 40 into the through hole 11 of the lure body 10, the attachment member 20 and the fishhook 30 can be attached to the lure body 10 at the same time. Further, the attachment member 20 and the fishhook 30 can be removed from the lure body 10 at the same time by simply pulling out the pin 40. In other words, the attachment member 20 and the fishhook 30 can be easily attached and detached by only attaching and detaching one pin 40.

In addition, by making the attached member 20 a softer member than the lure main body 10, it is possible to appeal to fish, squid, octopus, etc. with movement and feel similar to the real thing.

In addition, since the recess 14b provided in the insertion hole 14 and the protrusion 31c provided in the fishhook shaft 31 engage with each other along the extension direction (back and forth direction), the fishhook is attached to the lure body 10. 30 can be prevented from rotating around the longitudinal axis.

Moreover, by using the pin 40 as a split pin, attachment and removal operations can be performed more easily. Furthermore, by bending the pin shaft portion 42, the pin 40 can be prevented from falling off. Further, by housing the head 41 in the enlarged diameter groove 11a provided at the upper part of the through hole 11, it is possible to prevent the head 41 from protruding from the upper part 10a of the lure body 10. Further, by housing the bent tip side of the pin shaft portion 42 in the second groove 13, it is possible to prevent the tip side of the pin shaft portion 42 from protruding from the lower part 10b of the lure body 10. Thereby, it is possible to avoid contact between the pin 40 and the like with fish, squid, octopus, etc., and it is possible to prevent the pin 40 from being detected as a foreign object, and to prevent the pin 40 from getting entangled.

The embodiments according to the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and each component can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the second groove 13 that accommodates the pin shaft portion 42 is formed in the lure body 10, but may be formed in the attached member 20. Further, in this embodiment, the through hole 11 penetrates in the vertical direction, but it may be in any direction as long as it is perpendicular to the front-rear direction (extension direction). Further, in this embodiment, the insertion hole 14 is provided with the recess 14b, and the fishhook 30 is provided with the protrusion 31c, and the two are engaged with each other. They may be engaged. Further, in this embodiment, the convex portion 31c is configured to protrude upward (the concave portion 14b is concave upward), but it may be protruded (concave) in any direction.

Further, although the accessory member 20 in this embodiment is made of a member that is softer than the lure main body 10, it may be made of the same material as the lure main body 10. Further, the accessory member 20 of this embodiment may be made of a harder material than the lure main body 10.
