Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a lure as a fishing tackle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 7-250593 discloses a flat metal lure resembling a fish. This lure is durable because it is made of metal, and its metallic luster invites and invites fish with a strong interest, and its unique shape allows you to swim well underwater. Cheap.

[0003]

However, since the lure has a hard feel, when the fish slightly adds the lure itself, not the hook, the lure may not be immediately removed and the mouth may not be re-engaged. In such a case, it may be possible to get rid of the approaching fish.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a lure made of a metal such as the above-mentioned prior art so that a soft feel can be given when the lure is held while taking advantage of its features.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a lure to which a fishing line and a fishing hook can be attached, wherein a main body of the lure is formed of a hard inelastic body, and at least a part of a surface of the main body is soft. A lure characterized by being covered with an elastic body.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least 10% of the surface area is covered with the elastic body.

In another embodiment, the main body is made of a hard plastic or a metal.

[0008] In another embodiment, the elastic body has a durometer hardness of 40 to 65 measured according to JIS K 7215, type: D.

[0009] In still another embodiment, the elastic body is detachably attached to the main body.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of a lure according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a side view of a lure 1 and its lure 1.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line I-II. The lure 1 has a shape similar to a small fish, and has a main body 2 formed of a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel or a hard plastic, and a soft elastic member 3 attached to the main body 2.

The main body 2 has a head 6, a torso 7, and a tail 8, and the size in the vertical direction in the figure increases from the head 6 to the torso 7, and the size increases from the torso 7 to the tail 8. Are formed so as to become gradually smaller. In the head 6, an eyeball 9 for balancing the weight of the lure 1 on the left and right sides, which can look like a small fish, protrudes outward from the side. The centerpiece 9 is formed by fitting two members 9A and 9B into the through holes 10 between both side surfaces of the main body 2, and the members 9A and 9B are fitted together.
A material such as metal having a different density and a different color tone from the main body 2 can be used for 9B. An eyelet 11 for a fishing line 16 and an eyelet 1 for a hook 17 are provided above and below the body 7.
2 are formed. An eyelet 13 for a hook 18 is formed on the tail portion 8.

An elastic member 3 is detachably attached to both sides of the main body 2 from the body 7 to the tail 8 via, for example, an adhesive 14. The elastic member 3 is made of natural rubber,
It is made of synthetic rubber such as silicon rubber or other elastic plastic materials, and has a durometer hardness of 40 to 6 measured according to JIS K 7215, type: D.
5 range. Such an elastic member 3 is 0.5 to 7 mm
And occupies at least 10% of the surface area of the main body 2, 90% of the surface area if necessary, and 100% of the surface area if necessary.
% Is attached to the main body 2.

The hardness of the elastic member 3 is set to an appropriate value according to the target fish so that when the member 3 is held by a fish, it can give a feeling as if it were a prey. To be elected. However, when the hardness is lower than 40, it is generally easily damaged, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of lure durability. Further, if the hardness exceeds 65, the member 3 itself becomes considerably hard, so that it is not only meaningless to use the member 3 together with the hard body 2 but also the member 3 is generally adhered to the body 2 having many curved surfaces. It becomes difficult to attach with the agent 14.

If the thickness of the elastic member 3 is so thin that it does not reach 0.5 mm, the effect of giving a soft touch is poor.

The area occupied by the elastic member 3 in the main body 2 is determined by how much the metallic luster of the main body 1 is desired to be conspicuous to the fish. In particular, the area can be reduced to about 10% when it is desired to be conspicuous, and the area can be increased to 90% when the soft touch is more important than the metallic luster, and can be increased to substantially 100% if necessary. .

Since the elastic member 3 is much more easily damaged than the main body 2, it is preferable that the elastic member 3 be detachably attached to the main body 2 by the adhesive 14 so that the damaged member 3 can be easily replaced. However, the member 3 can be screwed to the main body 2 when it is difficult to peel off the adhesive. Further, the member 3 can be attached to the main body 2 so as not to be peeled off by a strong adhesive or the like.

[0018]

According to the lure of the present invention, at least a part of the surface of the metal body is covered with a soft elastic material, so that the fish with the lure is given a soft feeling different from that of the metal. It will be easier for the fish to add this lure repeatedly. Such pursuit of prey for lures by fish allows for greater catches.
