JP2003235417A - Sinker for fishing - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sinker to efficiently stir up sand by lifting and dropping the sinker on the sea bottom. <P>SOLUTION: The sinker 1 has plural legs 2 fixed to the periphery of the bottom of the sinker interposing a space between the legs. A foot 2a having an area larger than the cross-section of the leg is formed on the end of each leg 2. The leg is formed by using a nail and casting the tip side of the nail into the lead sinker 1 to form the foot 2a with the head of the nail. The leg 2 is thrust into the sand when the sinker is lowered to the sea bottom. The sand on the sea bottom is scooped with the foot (head of the nail) 2a of the leg by pulling up the sinker 1 from the bottom to stir up a large amount of sand. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a weight used mainly for catching fish living on the seabed of sand such as flounder. 2. Description of the Related Art In flatfish fishing, a rod is sometimes raised and lowered slightly to move a weight up and down in order to invite a fish. Such an operation is generally called “Kozuki”. If you do Kozuki, the weight will rise and fall, soaring the sand on the seabed,
It looks as if there is a fish. The nearby fish will come to see this and improve their fishing results. The conventional weight is
The amount of dust that soared when Kozuki was performed was small and not enough to attract the attention of a distant fish. [0003] The present invention provides a weight in which a lot of dust and dust fly when Kozuki is performed. According to the present invention, a plurality of legs are provided around the bottom of the weight, and a foot having a larger area than the cross section of the legs is provided at the end of each leg. Fish such as flatfish are sensitive not only to the sense of smell but also to the sense of sight.
Surrounding fish approach. This weight causes the legs to sink into the sand if the seabed is sandy when the rod is lowered in the Kozuki motion. When the rod is raised from this state, a large foot at the end of the leg scoops up the surrounding sand, so that a large amount of dust soars. Fish that are relatively far away come with this dust. As shown in FIG. 1, a weight 1 is made of lead, and a plurality of legs 2 are fixed around the bottom of the weight at intervals. At the end of each leg 2, a foot 2a having a larger area than the cross section of the leg is provided. The leg 2 is actually a nail and the tip of the nail is cast into the lead weight 1, the head of the nail forming the foot 2a. FIG. 2 shows an example of a device for flatfish fishing. The weight 1 is attached to the ten bin 3. In the drawing, reference numeral 4 denotes a warp yarn, reference numeral 5 denotes a trunk yarn, reference numeral 6 denotes a harris, and reference numeral 6a denotes a needle. In flatfish fishing, Kozuki is repeatedly performed until hit. That is, the rod is raised and lowered slightly to move the weight 1 up and down, so that the dust on the sea floor is raised and fish is invited. Since the weight 1 has the leg 2 at the bottom, when the weight 1 is lowered, the leg 2 stabs into the sandy bottom of the sea bottom as shown in FIG. When the weight 1 is lifted from this state, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the sand on the seabed is scooped up by the foot portion (the head of the nail) 2a of the leg, and a large amount of dust and dust rises. The fish comes by this dust. If the seabed is muddy, the dust will soar more vigorously than the sand and the bait may not be visible.
