Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure that simulates a bait, and more particularly, expresses a movement similar to that of a weak fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, artificial baits called lures include those that resemble fish when moving with a fishing line, and those that resemble the shape of a lure itself with fish or insects. Such a lure, for example, does not resemble a fish in shape, but when the fishing line is pulled, the wings rotate and the movement resembles a fish or insect, and the degree of reflected light changes. There is no extreme movement such as rotation or the like that interests the fish, but the overall shape resembles a fish, and the collar provided at the tip reduces the water resistance when the fishing line is pulled. In addition, there is something that moves as if a fish is swimming. The lure described above can move the lure as if the fish were swimming by adjusting the fishing line pulling operation of the angler.

[0003]

However, none of the conventional lures described above reproduces the movement of a weak fish. Such a fish repeatedly moves and stops intermittently, and performs a characteristic movement such as rising to the surface of the water in the stopped state.

[0004] Such a movement is difficult to reproduce even if the degree of pulling of the fishing line is adjusted, because the movement of the lure itself is determined by the structure of the lure. However, these weakened fish are other fish's favorite foods. An object of the present invention is to provide a pseudo bait that can reproduce the movement of a weak fish.

[0005]

The above objects are achieved by the present invention described below. (1) A body whose length from the front end to the rear end is sufficiently longer than the length in the width direction, has a twist along a line from the front end to the rear end, and is curved as a whole from the front end to the rear end. And a connecting portion provided at the tip of the main body and connected to a pulling means for pulling the main body, and a fishing hook connected to the main body so as to swing freely.

(2) The artificial bait according to the above (1), wherein the center of gravity is deviated toward the tip.

(3) The artificial bait according to (1) or (2), wherein the center of gravity is deviated to one side in the width direction.

(4) The artificial bait according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the main body has a streamline shape as a whole.

(5) The artificial bait according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein the main body has a streamlined cross section in the width direction.

[0012]

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall side view of the artificial bait of the present invention, showing a state where it is floating in water. 2 is an overall plan view of the pseudo bait, FIG. 3 is an overall bottom view, and FIG. 4 is an overall front view.

The main body 2 of the lure 1, which is an artificial bait, is formed in a streamline shape similar to a fish as a whole, and is formed in a streamline shape similar to a fish even in the cross-sectional shape in the width direction. The material is made of, for example, a material having a specific gravity of 1 or less. For example, wood, synthetic resin, or the like can be used.

The main body 2 has a length from the front end to the rear end,
It has a shape that is sufficiently longer than the length in the width direction, the front end portion 21 is wider, and the rear end portion 22 is narrower than the front end portion, so that the overall shape resembles the shape of a fish It has become. A connecting portion 23 for connecting a fishing line as a pulling means is provided at the tip with a wire formed in a ring shape.

The main body 2 further has a twist along a line from the front end to the rear end, and has a shape curved in an arc from the front end to the rear end. The degree of this curvature is, for example, as shown in FIG.
Is preferably about 35 to 45 degrees, and the radius of curvature is 13
It is preferably about 0 to 220 mm. Furthermore, the twist angle β between the front end and the rear end is preferably about 80 to 100 degrees.
In other words, the twist angle is preferably 8 to 10 degrees / cm.

The body 2 is formed into a twisted shape and curved, so that the lure 1 can be moved in the direction of the tip (in the direction of arrow A) in water.
, The lure 1 rotates in the direction of arrow B while swinging in a direction perpendicular to the pulling direction, as if a weak fish were swimming.

A hole 24 is formed in the center of one side of the distal end portion 21 of the main body 2, and the fishing hook 3 is connected to the hole 24 so as to be swingable. The surface of the main body 2 has a pattern resembling a fish. For example, an eye 25 and a gill 26 are drawn on the tip, and a pattern 27 is drawn on the side. In addition, the belly portion is silver and includes a portion that reflects light.

Next, the connection structure of the fishing hook 3 will be described. The fishing hook 3 is configured by folding a wire made of a magnetic material into two parts, a loop 331 formed in a bent portion, a needle body 33 in which two wires are stacked, and a tip of the needle body 331 which is bent in two. And a pair of needle portions 332a and 332b.

A loop 32 is rotatably housed in the hole 24, and a loop 331 of the fishing hook 3 is connected to the loop 32. As shown by an arrow C, the fishing hook 3 is rotated by the rotation of the loop 32.
Is rotatable 360 degrees, and as indicated by arrow D,
It has a undulating configuration.

A weight is embedded in the main body 2 so that the center of gravity of the entire body is located on the tip side. For example,
As for the weights, weights 41 and 42 are buried on the ventral side on the distal end side, and a weight 43 is buried on the head side, and a permanent magnet 44 is buried as a weight on the rear end side of the hole 24.

As described above, the weights 41, 42, 43, 4
By providing the lure 4, the center of gravity of the lure 1 is located on the distal end side. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, the weights 41, 4
2 makes the abdomen heavy and floats on the water with the abdomen down.

The hook 3 is maintained in contact with the main body 2 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 44. Further, when the fish comes to the lure 1, the fish separates from the main body 2 as appropriate and acts so as not to leave the lure 1. Since the fish comes to the main body 2, the fishhook 3 is positioned and fixed along the main body 2, so that the hook that catches the fish is good. In addition, since it is positioned by the magnet, the hook 3
Can be appropriately separated from the main body 2, so that the needle caught on the fish is unlikely to come off the fish.

Since the fishing hook 3 is usually fixed to the main body 2 by the permanent magnet, it does not hinder the movement of the lure 1 and has little influence on the movement of the lure 1. Further, since the fishing hook 3 is attracted to the main body 2 by the magnetic force of the magnet, even if the fishing hook 3 comes into contact with a position other than the position positioned with respect to the main body 2, the fishing hook 3 is immediately drawn to the positioning position, and the other positions. Since there is no chance of contact with the position, damage to a position other than the positioning position (the position where the permanent magnet is installed) is suppressed.

The operation of the lure 1 having the above configuration will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the lure 1
Floating on the water surface with the rear end raised upward. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the fishing line is pulled in the tip direction,
Since the main body 2 has a twisted shape, rotation starts due to resistance of water. At the same time, since the main body 2 is curved as a whole, the main body 2 rotates while swinging in a direction perpendicular to the direction pulled by the fishing line (while moving in the vertical and horizontal directions). In addition, since the center of gravity is deviated in addition to the curvature, the blur during rotation is further increased. And this action is
Weak fish approximates swimming behavior.

When the fishing line is stopped, the fishing line rises to the surface of the water by buoyancy and returns to the initial position. In addition, if the speed of pulling with the fishing line is reduced, the force of rotation of the lure 1 due to the resistance of the water is weakened. The force to try is added. For this reason, the lure 1 does not always rotate in the same direction (the direction of the arrow B), but may rotate in the opposite direction (the direction of the arrow F), and as a whole, moves irregularly. This irregular movement will approximate the movement of the fish that has weakened further.

By adjusting the tension of the fishing line, the movement of the lure 1 described above is appropriately combined, and as shown in FIG. 6, the weak fish floats on the lure 1 by the operation of the angler. An operation such as sinking can be reproduced.

[0027]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, rotation is generated by the twisting of the main body, and in addition to this, the bending of the main body causes a right and left swing as if swimming. Irregular movements not found in conventional lures can be reproduced. In particular, it becomes easier to reproduce the movement of the weakened fish. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the center of gravity is deviated toward the distal end side, the state of being stationary in water becomes a tilted posture, and the state can be made to resemble the state of a weakened fish.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the center of gravity is deviated in the width direction, it is possible to add more irregular movement by rotation.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since it has a streamline shape, it approximates the shape of a fish, and the function as a pseudo bait is further improved. In addition, since the water smoothly flows along the twist, the pseudo bait rotates more smoothly. According to the fifth aspect of the invention, since the cross-sectional shape is streamlined, the water smoothly flows along the twist, so that the pseudo bait rotates more smoothly. According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the pattern resembling a fish is provided, the fish is more similar to a fish, and the function as a pseudo bait is further improved.
