To provide a pseudo bait improved to extend a precipitation period.SOLUTION: A pseudo bait of the invention comprises: a main body whose parts other than a tail and a fin are similar to those of a fish and which is formed of a metal； and a snap ring which is fixed to a heat end part and/or a tail side end part of the main body, and to which a needle is fixed or a line is inserted. A spiral strip groove in a direction of 40-50 degrees with respect to a long dimension direction is formed on at least a tail side outer peripheral surface relative to a middle point in a long dimension direction of the main body, a depth of the strip groove is 1/15 to 1/5 of an outer diameter of the main body, an interval between one turn and front/rear turn of the strip groove is larger than a width of the strip groove, and a surface between the turns is smooth.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】沈降時間が長くなるように改良された疑似餌を提供する。【解決手段】尾・鰭を除くほかは外観が魚に似せて金属で形成された本体と、本体の頭側端部及び／又は尾側端部とに各々固定されて針又は糸をかけるための止め輪とを備えるものにおいて、本体の長寸方向中点よりも少なくとも尾側外周面に長寸方向に対して４０～５０度方向の螺旋状の条溝が形成され、条溝の深さが本体外径の１／１５～１／５で、条溝の一つのターンとその前後のターンとの間隔は条溝の幅よりも大きく、ターン間の表面は滑らかであることを特徴とする。【選択図】なし
