An artificial bait is provided to more effectively lure fish with the help of a barb and a spring antenna, and to keep a stable balance even under the buoyancy in water, thereby increasing utilization of the bait even in deep water. An artificial bait(100) comprises a removable body in a shape of fish food. The bait body is constituted by an arrow tentacle, barbs(11A,11B), buffer rubber(15) attached to the bottom of the body to achieve a stable balance even under high buoyancy in water, a spring antenna(10) disposed at the head area of the body to stimulate curiosity of fish, a fishing powder reservoir(30) removably attached to the tail of the body, and hooks(14). A pair of connection openings(12,13) are formed on either side of the body, one being connected to a fishing line and the other being connected to the fishing powder reservoir and a hook needle.
