Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing weight for extending a casting flight distance and assisting lure (pseudo bait) and sedimentation of bait.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various methods of fishing for catching various kinds of fish inhabiting freshwater or seawater. For example, as a bait attached to a fishing hook, a raw bait, a bait, and a lure (simulated bait) are used.
And so on. It is common to use a metal weight made of lead or the like in order to properly send these hooks with bait to the place where the fish to be fished live.

In order to use a reel on which a fishing line is wound to target a location farther than the length of a fishing rod, it is necessary to cast a hook and bait to a target location by casting. The use of weights is also widely practiced.

[0004]

However, in the case of using a light weight device that can only weigh a few grams to several tens of grams even when the hook and bait are combined (including the case of using a light weight soft lure or minnow type lure) In order to achieve the desired flight distance without using a weight, it is strongly affected by wind and the like.However, if a heavy metal weight is used to extend the flight distance, the impact at the time of landing will be reduced. It is large and there is a risk of the bait falling off, and the target fish in the vicinity may escape or become more vigilant and will not catch the fish.

[0005] Further, if a weight that is too heavy is used, the sedimentation speed of the bait and the hook will be too high even in the water, and the appeal to the target fish will be unnatural. The risk of rooting will also increase.

That is, while the fishing hook and the bait are flying in the air by the casting operation, it is desirable to use a weight having a certain weight to improve the flight distance, but it acts as a light weight after landing. However, it is desired that the sedimentation speed between the hook and the bait is appropriately adjusted. However, there has been no fishing weight that satisfies such conflicting requirements at the same time.

[0007]

[0015]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a fishing weight according to the present invention. The main body 1 is made of a material having a specific gravity lower than that of water. The adjusted adjustment member 2 is wound and attached integrally. As shown in FIG. 1, by changing the width of the ring-shaped adjusting member 2 in various ways, the specific gravity of the weight of the present invention as a whole with respect to water can be changed. The sedimentation speed can be selected.

Materials having a specific gravity lower than that of the water forming the main body 1 include, for example, polyethylene, UPE polyethylene, polypropylene and the like. Typical specific gravities for these waters are 0.96 for polyethylene and 0 for UPE polyethylene.・ Polypropylene is 0.91.

The materials of the ring-shaped adjusting member 2 include lead (specific gravity for water is about 11.36), copper (specific gravity for water is about 8.96), and brass (specific gravity for water is about 8.36).
6), iron (specific gravity for water is about 7.9), stainless steel (specific gravity for water is about 7.9) and the like can be selected.

A through hole 3 is formed in the center of the main body 1, through which a fishing line 8 is passed and a weight is fixed at a predetermined position by an appropriate fastener. In the case of the weight according to the present invention of the type shown in FIG. 1, the fishing line may pass in any direction. However, when the black bass is used as a soft lure for a target fish, the flat portion 4 side is connected to the fishing rod 5. Aim, hemispherical part 6
Preferably, the side faces the lure 7 side. That is, when attached in such an orientation, when the fishing line 8 is wound on the reel 9 and the lure 7 is approached, the flat portion 4 or the concave portion 10 formed thereon receives water resistance and the complicated behavior is imparted to the lure 7. This is because it is possible to give to the target fish such as the black bass.

In addition, by increasing the resistance of water in this way, even when a light lure or the like is used, the hit of the target fish can be clearly transmitted to the hand, and there is an advantage that the hit can be easily obtained. .

FIG. 2 shows a soft lure 7 for a black bath or the like by attaching the weight according to the present invention shown in FIG.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the weight according to the present invention and the fishing hook 11 provided with the soft lure 7 in this case.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the fishing line 8 is moved in the direction of the arrow, the flat portion 4 of the weight according to the present invention receives water resistance to change its behavior, so that the soft lure 7 has various behaviors. It will appeal to predatory fish such as black bass.

The soft lure 7 has a specific gravity difference from water depending on its material, and there is a type in which it takes time to settle to a predetermined water depth. However, by employing the weight of the present invention, It is possible to settle down to a predetermined depth at an appropriate speed. Conversely, in the case of a lure having a large specific gravity and a sedimentation speed that is too fast, the sedimentation speed is reduced by the weight of the present invention, and the lure can be submerged at a predetermined water depth.

FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining the entire device in the case where raw bait or paste is attached to the hook 11 instead of a lure (pseudo bait). Also in this case, by adopting the weight of the present invention, the sinking speed of the hook 11 can be appropriately adjusted to sink the hook 11 with bait at a desired water depth. It is possible to reduce the risk of bait coming off the hook 11 due to the resistance of the bait. In addition, a soft lure or the like can be appropriately used for this type of device.

FIG. 5 exemplarily shows a variation of a shape that can be adopted as a fishing weight according to the present invention. In addition, various other shapes can be adopted to make the target fish appeal to a user or to allow the user to make an appeal. It is possible to satisfy hobbies. In addition, it is also possible to provide a fishing weight that appeals to the target fish by giving its colors and patterns a variety in addition to the shape. For example, (1) the main body 1 is black and the adjustment member 2 is chrome-plated, (2) the main body 1 is red and the adjustment member 2 is gold-plated, (3) the main body 1
Is blue, and the adjustment member 2 is silver-plated. (4) The main body 1 is orange and gold-plated on the adjustment member 2. (5) The main body 1 is gold-plated on the adjustment member 2 while keeping the white polypropylene. 6) The main body 1 is green and the adjusting member 2 is painted green. (7) The main body 1 is purple and the adjusting member 2 is also purple chrome plated. Protective colors can be applied to the fish to make it less noticeable.

FIG. 6 shows a case in which the main body 1 is assembled and formed by a plurality of members 1a and 1b. The adjusting member 2 is interposed and fitted between the main body forming members 1a and 1b to form a weight according to the present invention. FIG. 6 shows an example of an assembling method in the case of the above. The main body forming members 1a and 1b are firmly connected by being fitted and assembled, and the ring-shaped metal adjusting member 2 is interposed therebetween, so that the weight of the present invention can be easily assembled even in an outdoor fishing place or the like. Can be. In addition, if the connection between the main body forming members 1a and 1b is performed by, for example, a screwing method, it is possible to assemble even if the size of the adjustment member is changed, and it is possible to easily produce weights of various weights. It becomes possible.

[0027]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Some specific examples of fishing weights according to the present invention will be described below. As the main body 1, polypropylene having a specific gravity to water of 0.91 was adopted, and the shape was as shown in FIG. The weight of the main body 1 alone is 1.0 g, and the weight of the ring-shaped adjustment member 2 made of brass having a specific gravity to water of 8.6 is 1.1 g, 1.5 g, and 1.8 g, respectively. Grams were prepared and attached to the main body 1.

Accordingly, the fishing weight of the present invention has a total weight of (1) 2.1 g, (2) 2.5 g, and (3), respectively.
2.8 grams are ready. When these are settled in freshwater, the weight of the material of (1) is about 0.9 g, due to the specific gravity difference between the main body 1 and the ring-shaped adjusting member 2.
It was found that (2) had a sinking speed similar to that of a lead fishing weight of about 1.3 g, and (3) had a sinking speed of about 1.6 g.

When the fishing weights according to the present invention (1) to (3) are employed in a device shown in FIG. 2 to which a lightweight soft lure targeting a black bass is attached, (1) 2. It was confirmed that the same flight distance as that obtained by using a conventional lead fishing weight of 1 g, (2) 2.5 g, and (3) 2.8 g was obtained by casting.

Further, the soft lure provided with the weight according to the present invention described in (1) to (3) above is cast, and is immediately retrieved after landing on water (slowly winding the fishing line).
In the case of (1), the water depth is about 1 to 1.3 meters, (2)
It can be seen that one can move around a water depth of about 1.5 meters, and that of (3) can move about two meters in depth. It will be understood that can be moved.

Of course, it is also possible to obtain a deeper water depth by retrieving after an appropriate time has elapsed after landing on the water. In this case, as in the case of the conventional lead weight, Since it is possible to convert the weight into the underwater weight, it is possible to easily determine how long the weight of the present invention should be settled to reach the water depth.

Also, due to the underwater resistance of the weight according to the present invention, it is possible to feel a certain response at the time of retrieval, despite being a lightweight soft lure, and to be sensitive to the hit of a black bath or the like. Reaction was confirmed.

Further, since the flat portion 4 or the concave portion 10 formed on the main body 1 may have an irregular underwater resistance during the retrieval, it is confirmed that the soft lure also gives an irregular change in behavior. It will appeal to target fish such as bass.

[0034]

As described above, by employing the fishing weight according to the present invention, it is possible to extend the flight distance of a lure or the like during casting, and as a weight in water, the difference in the specific gravity between the formed members is obtained. It acts as a lighter weight than the actual weight, it is possible to adjust the sedimentation speed of soft lures etc. to an appropriate one, and furthermore, at the time of retrieval, irregular behavior changes are given to lures etc. It is possible to appeal strongly,
Since various effects that cannot be achieved by the conventional fishing weight are realized by a simple configuration, the invention is industrially highly valuable.
