To provide a lure for fishing, having a small moment of inertia related to an axial line, capable of affording a suitable buoyancy and sufficiently increasing the bending strength and mounting strength of a lip and further mass- producible at a low cost.

This lure 10 for fishing comprises a wire mandrel part 12, a skeletal part 14 and a covering part 16. The skeletal part 14 is prepared by forming a rigid resin material into a cruciform cross section and the wire mandrel part 12 is integrally inserted into the interior thereof. The covering part 16 is formed of an expended material to integrally cover the periphery of the skeletal part 14. A lip 24 is made of the same material as that of the skeletal part 14 and directly bonded to the skeletal part 14. Since the weight is concentrated in the central part, the moment of inertia related to the axial line is thereby small and operations become slim and natural. The skeletal part 14 is capable of functioning as a strength member and ensuring a sufficient strength and the mounting strength of the lip 24 is further increased.
