DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lure whose appearance resembles a fish, and more particularly to a lure called a metal jig made of a metal such as lead.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A lure called a conventional metal jig is:
A metal lure body whose outer shape resembles a fish body, an eye (retaining ring) for binding a line (fishing line) provided on the head of the lure body, and a hook (fish hook) connected to the tail of the lure body. have. When the angler locks the fishing line to the eye and throws this lure at the target point on the water surface,
The metal jig sinks quickly due to its own weight. Then, the lure performs various actions called jigging in which the angler swings the fishing rod violently, and the lure performs various actions to lure the fish.

[0003]

In order to perform various actions on the lure during the jigging operation, it is preferable that there is a slight difference in the left and right balance of the lure. For this reason, there is known a conventional lure in which protrusions or wings are provided on one of the right and left sides of the lure and deformed so as to bias the flowing water resistance on the left and right side surfaces.

Certainly, by deforming the left and right shapes of the lure, a tricky lure movement during jigging can be produced. However, on the other hand, electrophoresis is reduced because the resistance of the lure to flowing water in water is increased. In particular, in a lure having a large own weight, such as a metal jig, an increase in flowing water resistance makes the operation of retrieval and jigging extremely difficult.

An object of the present invention is to provide a lure which has good operability and can easily perform various actions in water.

[0006]

A lure according to a first aspect of the present invention is a lure used for fishing, which is formed to have an outer shape resembling a fish shape, and has a lateral side notch near a longitudinal center. The lure body includes a luer main body having a notch, and a replenishing portion made of a second metal having a specific gravity different from that of the first metal disposed in the notch of the lure main body.

[0007] In this lure, a part of a lure body whose outer shape resembles a fish is cut out, and a replenishing portion is arranged so as to fill the cutout. The overall outer shape (a streamlined shape resembling a fish) is as follows. Is kept. For this reason, almost no increase in flowing water resistance in water is observed. On the other hand, the replenishing portion of the cutout portion and the lure main body are formed of different metals, and the left and right weight balance of the lure is eccentric to the left or right. As a result, when the angler performs jigging or the like underwater, the lure swings left and right to easily perform various actions. The notch is formed near the center in the length direction of the lure main body, and the center of gravity in the length direction of the lure is large and is not biased toward the head or tail, so stable electrophoresis in water is possible. Can be further secured.

A lure according to a second aspect is the lure according to the first aspect, further comprising a wire penetrating the lure main body and the replenishing portion in the length direction. Both ends of the wire protrude from the lure main body to form a fishing line locking portion and a fishing hook locking portion, respectively.

In this lure, the wire penetrates the lure main body and the replenishing portion in the length direction, thereby improving the adhesion stability between the lure main body and the replenishing portion. Furthermore, since both ends of the wire are a fishing line hooking portion and a hook hooking portion, respectively, even when a fish is hooked on the hook and a large force is applied to the lure, the wire directly receives the tension of the fishing line and the hook. Lures are not easily damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [First Embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a lure employing a first embodiment of the present invention has a metal lure body 1 having an outer shape resembling a fish, and a luer body 1 having a longitudinal center. A replenishing portion 2 disposed on one side (one side of the abdomen of the lure), a fishing line locking portion 3 provided on the head of the lure main body 1, and a hook hook provided on the tip of the tail of the lure main body 1. Part 4. A hook 6 is connected to the hook engaging portion 4 via a split ring 5.

The lure body 1 is made of brass, and is formed so that its outer shape resembles a streamlined fish. As shown in detail in FIG. 2, one side surface near the center in the length direction of the lure main body 1 is formed as a cutout portion 1a which is cut out in a bowl concave shape and partially missing. In addition, the front end of the head and the rear end of the tail of the lure body 1 are:
The brass alloy constituting the lure main body is formed in a ring shape protruding as it is, and these are the fishing line locking portion 3 and the fishing hook locking portion 4. Further, the replenishing portion 2 arranged in the cutout portion 1a of the lure main body 1 is made of tungsten having a higher specific gravity than the brass constituting the lure main body 1, and replenishes the missing portion (the cutout portion 1a) of the lure main body 1 to make up the lure main body. 1 is held in a streamlined shape.

The ratio of the replenishing portion 2 to the lure main body 1 (from another viewpoint, the ratio of the cutout portions 1a in the lure main body 1) can be set arbitrarily. However, in order to sufficiently maintain the specific gravity of the entire lure and to ensure that the lure quickly sinks into water, it is preferable that the specific gravity of the entire lure including the lure main body 1 and the replenisher 2 be 10.0 or more. For example, assuming that the specific gravity of the tungsten alloy is 13 and the specific gravity of the brass is 9, if the specific ratio of the tungsten alloy (replenishment part 2) is 37.5% and that of the brass (the lure body 1) is 62.5%, the whole is obtained. Can be secured to 10.5.

The lure body 1 is formed by pouring and solidifying brass into a mold having a predetermined shape. The replenishing portion 2 is disposed by pouring and solidifying a tungsten alloy into the cutout portion 1a of the lure main body 1 thus formed, and the surface is processed to produce a lure. In addition, the lure main body 1 can also be manufactured by so-called forging.

The lure thus constructed has a replenishing portion 2 arranged so that a part of the lure main body 1 is cut out to fill the cutout 1a, and the overall outer shape (a streamlined shape resembling a fish) is provided. ) Is kept. For this reason, almost no increase in flowing water resistance in water is observed. On the other hand, the replenishing part 2 is made of tungsten alloy and the lure body 1 is made of brass. The center of gravity in the length direction of the lure is located near the center in the longitudinal direction. Eccentric to the side. As a result, when the angler performs an operation such as jigging in the water, the lure swings left and right, and various actions are easily and promptly performed.
The notch 1a is formed near the center of the lure body 1 in the length direction, and the balance of the center of gravity of the lure in the length direction is large, so that it is not deviated to the head side or the tail side. Electrophoresis can be secured.

In addition, tungsten, which is relatively poor in strength, is located near the center in the length direction of the lure main body, and the lure is more likely to collide with obstacles.

[Second Embodiment] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 3, a lure employing the second embodiment of the present invention includes a metal lure body 11 having an outer shape resembling a fish, and a lure body 11 near the longitudinal center thereof. The replenishing portion 12 disposed on the side surface (one side surface of the abdomen of the lure), the wire 20 penetrating in the length direction from the head to the tail of the lure body 11 through the replenishing portion 12, and the head side end of the wire 20 It has a fishing line locking portion 13 provided and a hook locking portion 14 provided at the tail end of the wire 20. A fishing hook 16 is connected to the fishing hook locking portion 14 via a split ring 15.

The lure body 11 is made of lead, and is formed so that its outer shape resembles a streamlined fish. One side surface near the center in the length direction of the lure main body 11 is a cutout portion 11a which is cut out from the side surface to the vicinity of the center in the left-right direction, and is partially missing. The wire 20 penetrating the lure main body 1 is a metal wire formed by twisting a metal element wire, and is disposed in the length direction such that both ends protrude from the head and tail of the lure main body 1. A metal ring is connected to both ends of the wire 20, and the metal ring is connected to the fishing line locking portion 13 and the fishing line locking portion 1.
It becomes 4.

Further, the replenishing portion 12 arranged in the cutout portion 11a of the lure main body 11 is made of brass having a specific gravity smaller than that of lead constituting the lure main body 1, and replenishes the missing portion (notch portion 11a) of the lure main body 11. The outer shape of the lure body 11 is held in a streamlined manner. The replenishing portion 12 reaches the vicinity of the center of the lure in the left-right direction, and has a structure in which the wire 20 partially passes through the replenishing portion 12. Note that the abundance ratio of the replenishing unit 12 to the lure main body 11 can be appropriately set in consideration of the specific gravity of the entire lure as in the first embodiment.

In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the lure is formed by arranging the wire 20 in a predetermined mold, pouring in lead and solidifying to form the lure main body 11, and pouring brass into the notch 11a. It can be manufactured by solidifying.

The lure thus configured has the same functions and effects as the first embodiment. Furthermore, lure body 1
The wire 20 penetrates the lure 1 and the replenishing portion 12 in the length direction, and improves the stability of adhesion between the lure main body 11 and the replenishing portion 12 to improve the durability of the lure. Further, since both ends of the wire 20 are a fishing line locking portion 13 and a fishing line locking portion 14, even when a fish is applied to the fishing hook 16 and a large force is applied to the lure, the wire 20 is directly connected to the fishing line and the fishing hook. The lure is less likely to be damaged because it receives 16 tensions.

[Other Embodiments] (a) The shape of the lure body is not limited to the shape of a fish, but may be processed into various other streamlined shapes.

(B) The fishing line locking portion and the fishing hook locking portion can be provided at arbitrary positions.

(C) The metal to be used is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and other well-known metals such as a steel alloy can be used.
