1. An artificial bait comprising:
a body having a first end portion and a second end portion arranged at opposite ends of the body along a longitudinal direction of the body and also having an exterior surface defining a relatively wide region and a relatively narrow region arranged between the first end portion and a second end portion along the longitudinal direction;
a hook member movable relative to the first end portion and the second end portion of the body along the longitudinal direction; and
an elastic part connected between the body and the hook member,
wherein the hook member comprises:
a wire connected to the elastic part;
movable hooks connected to the wire; and
a connector connected to the wire and, the connector passing through the second end portion of the body, wherein the connector is connectable to a fishing line,
