Description

  The present invention relates to a lure used for fishing.

  Large fish called fish eaters supplement small fish. It is not easy for fish eaters to supplement small fish that run away.

  Japanese samurai spend the summer in a clear stream. The cormorant descends the river in autumn, lays eggs near the mouth of the river, and eventually dies. The kite down the river is called the “falling trap”. The pit is exhausted and is inferior in swimming power. Fish eaters can easily prey on fallen cocoons. The casket heading to the estuary is a good bait for largemouth bass, a freshwater fish. The spawn after spawning is a good bait for Suzuki, a saltwater fish.

  In lure fishing, the angler swims the lure with the force transmitted to the lure via the rod and line and invites the fish. Many anglers raise fish eaters by causing the lure to swim like a trap.

Weak fish is a good bait for fish eaters, not only in the estuary, but also in lakes, ponds, and the sea. Even in these fields, many anglers raise fish eaters by causing lures to swim similar to weakened small fish. A general lure is disclosed in “2005 Fishing Tackle Catalog” issued by Shimano Co., Ltd.
"2005 Fishing Tackle Catalog" issued by Shimano Co., Ltd.

  In order to cause the lure to swim similar to a weak fish, it is necessary to devise a rod action. This rod action requires skill. Moreover, even if rod action is used, there is still a gap between lure swimming and small fish swimming.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a lure that can easily achieve a swim similar to a weakened small fish.

  The lure according to the present invention includes a body having an outline similar to that of a fish, and an eye attached to the body to connect the body and the line. The body includes a back, an abdomen, a first body side, and a second body side. The eye is attached to the first body side. In this lure, when the line is drawn, the first body side portion becomes the water receiving surface.

  Preferably, the eye is positioned closer to the front end than the center of the fluid force on the side of the first body. Preferably, the body is curved so that the first body side portion is convex. Preferably, the center of gravity of the body is set so as to maintain an underwater posture in which the first body side is upward and the second body side is downward in a state where no tension is applied to the line.

  Preferably, the lure further comprises a swivel connected to the eye. The body and the line are connected via the eye and swivel.

  In the conventional lure, the eye is attached to the front end or the back, and the upper surface of the head, the lip, and the like are water receiving surfaces. In a conventional lure, the lure swims in the direction of the line when the line is drawn. On the other hand, in the lure according to the present invention, since the body side portion is the water receiving surface, the lure swims in the lateral direction with respect to the line. This swim is similar to a weakened fish. In this lure, a swim similar to weakened fish is easily produced. An angler can fish a fish eater simply by drawing a line.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with appropriate reference to the drawings.

  1 is a front view showing a lure 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof. In FIG. 1, the left end is the front end 4 of the luer 2, and the right end is the rear end 6 of the lure 2.

  The lure 2 includes a body 8. The body 8 has an external shape similar to a fish (specifically, a shark). The body 8 may exhibit a shape similar to a fish other than a carp. In this example, the front portion 10 of the body 8 is made of hard plastic. Examples of the hard plastic include ABS resin. For the purpose of adjusting buoyancy, a foamed resin (for example, rigid urethane foam) may be used for the front portion 10. The front portion 10 may be composed of a foamed resin and an outer shell resin that covers the foamed resin. The rear portion 12 is made of a soft plastic. An example of the soft plastic is polyvinyl chloride. The rear portion 12 may be made of a biodegradable resin.

  The body 8 includes a head portion 14, a back portion 16, an abdominal portion 18, a first body side portion 20, a second body side portion 22, and a tail portion 24. In this example, the first body side portion 20 corresponds to the left body side, and the second body side portion 22 corresponds to the right body side. The body 8 further includes a mouth 26, a centerpiece 28, a collar lid 30, a back fin 32, and a belly fin 34.

  In FIG. 1, what is indicated by a double arrow H is the total height of the body 8 excluding the fins 32 and 34. The total height H is set according to the species and size of the target fish eater. Usually, the total height H is about 7 mm to 15 cm.

  In FIG. 2, what is indicated by a double arrow L is the entire length of the body 8. The total length L is set according to the species and size of the target fish eater. Usually, the total length L is about 5 cm to 30 cm.

  As is apparent from FIG. 2, the body 8 is curved. In the body 8, the first body side portion 20 has a generally convex shape, and the second body side portion 22 has a generally concave shape.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the lure 2 includes a first eye 36, a second eye 38 and a third eye 40. These eyes 36, 38, 40 are formed by bending a metal wire. Both ends of the metal wire are embedded in the body 8. The eyes 36, 38 and 40 are attached to the body 8 by this embedding.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first eye 36 is attached to the first body side portion 20. As shown in FIG. 1, a swivel 44 is attached to the first eye 36 via a snap ring 42. One end of the swivel 44 is passed through the snap ring 42. A line (not shown) is connected to the other end of the swivel 44. The first eye 36 is an “eye for connecting the body and the line” according to the present invention. The swivel 44 has a twisting action. By arranging the swivel 44 between the first eye 36 and the line, the line is not twisted even if the lure 2 rotates.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the second eye 38 and the third eye 40 are attached to the second body side portion 22. The second eye 38 is located closer to the front end 4, and the third eye 40 is located closer to the rear end 6. As apparent from FIG. 3, a hook 48 (specifically, a treble hook) is attached to the second eye 38 via a snap ring 46. A hook 48 is also attached to the third eye 40 via a snap ring 46. Instead of a treble hook, a single hook or a double hook may be attached to the second eye 38 and the third eye 40. The positions of the eyes 38 and 40 to which the hook 48 is attached can be changed as appropriate. The number of eyes 38 and 40 to which the hook 48 is attached can also be changed as appropriate.

  FIG. 4 is a front view showing the underwater posture of the lure 2 of FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 4, no tension is applied to the line. In FIG. 4, the abdomen 18 is seen from the front, and the head 14 is located on the left side. In FIG. 4, the angler's rod is positioned in front of the paper surface in the vertical direction. In FIG. 4, what is indicated by a symbol S is the water surface. The lure 2 floats in the water with part of it submerged. Of course, the specific gravity may be adjusted so that the lure 2 is suspended in water. Specific gravity may be adjusted so that the lure 2 sinks to the bottom of the water.

  As is apparent from FIG. 4, the first body side portion 20 is upward, and the second body side portion 22 is downward. In other words, the underwater posture of the lure 2 corresponds to a state in which the fish has fallen. Regular fish swim with their backs up and bellies down. Dead and weak fish often exist in the water in a collapsed state. The underwater posture of the lure 2 produces a dead or weak fish. This underwater posture appeals to the fish eater. This underwater posture is achieved by adjusting the position of the center of gravity of the body 8. In this embodiment, the position of the center of gravity is adjusted by the curvature of the body 8.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a state in which the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2 of FIG. Since the first eye 36 is attached to the first body side portion 20 as described above, the first body side portion 20 is pulled by the tension, and the lure 2 stands up. By pulling the line 50 further, the greatest water resistance is applied to the first body side portion 20. In other words, the first body side portion 20 is a water receiving surface. In FIG. 5, what is indicated by a symbol P is the center of the fluid force of the first body side portion 20. The center of fluid force is the center position of water resistance when the lure 2 advances in a direction perpendicular to the first body side portion 20.

  As is clear from FIG. 5, the first eye 36 is located closer to the front end 4 than the fluid force center P. When the line 50 is drawn in the direction of the arrow A, a moment is applied to the lure 2 in the direction indicated by the arrow R1. Due to this moment, the lure 2 turns diagonally as shown by the solid line. When the line 50 is further pulled in the direction of arrow A, the lure 2 is lifted to the left in FIG. Due to the lift and the tension of the line 50, the lure 2 swims in the direction of arrow B with the head 14 at the head. The direction of this swim is greatly deviated from the direction of the line 50. The conventional lure either swims in the same direction as the line 50 when the line 50 is drawn, or swims somewhat zigzag with respect to the line 50. The swimming of the lure 2 according to the present invention is greatly different from that of the conventional lure. This swim appeals to fish eaters.

  As described above, the body 8 is curved, and the first body side portion 20 that is the water receiving surface is convex. In other words, the posture of the body 8 when the line 50 is drawn is close to a streamlined type. This posture stabilizes the swimming of the body 8.

  The operation in which the tip of the rod is continuously moved in small increments is called twitching. By twitching, a state in which the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2 and a state in which the tension is not applied alternately occur. Even when the line 50 is pulled intermittently, the state where the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2 and the state where the line 50 is not applied alternately occur. By these operations, the lure 2 swims while repeating a fallen posture (see FIG. 4) and a standing posture (see FIG. 5). This swim is similar to a weak fish swim. This swim will appeal to fish eaters.

  When the line 50 is pulled strongly, the upper surface of the head 14 also becomes a water receiving surface, and a vertical downward force is applied to the lure 2. This force causes the lure 2 to dive in the water with the head 14 facing substantially downward. Due to the curved body 8 or the like, the lure 2 dives while rotating. At this stage, when the tension of the line 50 is released, the lure 2 rises. The front-rear direction of the lure 2 after rising depends on the degree of rotation. If the lure 2 rotates about 180 °, the front and rear of the lure 2 are reversed. FIG. 6 shows the underwater posture of the inverted lure 2. In the state shown in FIG. 6, the line 50 is not tensioned. In FIG. 6, the back portion 16 is visible from the front, and the head portion 14 is located on the right side. In FIG. 6, the angler's rod is positioned in front of the paper surface in the vertical direction. The lure 2 floats in the water with part of it submerged. Since the position of the center of gravity of the body 8 is adjusted as described above, the first body side portion 20 is upward and the second body side portion 22 is downward.

  FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a state in which the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2 of FIG. Since the first eye 36 is attached to the first body side part 20 as described above, the first body side part 20 is pulled by the tension, and the lure 2 takes a posture in which the abdomen 18 faces upward. Since the first eye 36 is located closer to the front end 4 than the fluid center P, when the line 50 is drawn in the direction of the arrow A, a moment is applied to the lure 2 in the direction indicated by the arrow R2. . Due to this moment, the lure 2 turns diagonally as shown by the solid line. When the line 50 is further pulled in the direction of arrow A, the lure 2 is lifted to the right in FIG. Due to the lift and the tension of the line 50, the lure 2 swims in the direction of arrow C with the head 14 at the head. The direction of this swim is greatly deviated from the direction of the line 50. The swimming of the lure 2 according to the present invention is greatly different from that of the conventional lure. This swim appeals to fish eaters.

  In the conventional lure, the position of the center of gravity is adjusted so that the underwater posture with the back facing upward is maintained. Therefore, swimming with the abdomen facing upward is unstable. In the lure 2 according to the present invention, the position of the center of gravity is adjusted so that the underwater posture in which the first body side portion 20 faces upward is maintained, so that the abdomen 18 faces upward as shown in FIG. Even in the posture, swimming is stable.

  When the state in which the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2 and the state in which the line 50 is not applied alternately occur, the lure is repeated while the posture (see FIG. 6) and the posture in which the abdomen 18 faces upward (see FIG. 7) are repeated. 2 swims. This swim is similar to a weak fish swim. This swim will appeal to fish eaters.

  FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a procedure for using the lure 2 of FIG. In FIG. 8, what is indicated by reference numeral 52 is a rod. Due to the casting, the lure 2 flies and reaches the point P1. At this stage, the tension of the line 50 is not applied to the lure 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the lure 2 floats in water with the first body side 20 facing up and the abdomen 18 facing the rod 52. In FIG. 8, the first body side portion 20 is visible at the point P1.

  When the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2, the lure 2 swims with the back portion 16 facing upward, as shown in FIG. 5. The direction of swimming is transverse to the line 50. The lure 2 passes through the point P2 shown in FIG. 8 and reaches the point P3. In FIG. 8, the back 16 is visible at point P2. When the state where the tension of the line 50 is applied and the state where the tension is not applied are repeated alternately from the point P1 to the point P3, the posture with the first body side portion 20 facing upward and the back portion 16 facing upward The posture appears alternately.

  When the line 50 is suddenly pulled strongly at the point P3, the lure 2 is submerged in the water while rotating as described above. At this stage, when the tension of the line 50 is loosened, the lure 2 rises and the front and rear of the lure 2 are reversed. If the tension of the line 50 is not applied at this stage, the lure 2 floats in water with the first body side portion 20 facing upward and the back portion 16 facing the rod 52 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the first body side portion 20 is visible at the point P3.

  When the tension of the line 50 is applied to the lure 2, as shown in FIG. 7, the lure 2 swims with the abdomen 18 facing upward. The direction of swimming is transverse to the line 50. The lure 2 passes through the point P4 shown in FIG. 8 and reaches the point P5. In FIG. 8, the abdomen 18 is visible at the point P4. When the state where the tension of the line 50 is applied and the state where the tension is not applied are repeated alternately from the point P3 to the point P5, the posture with the first body side portion 20 facing upward and the abdominal portion 18 facing upward The posture appears alternately.

  As is clear from FIG. 8, the lure 2 swims while moving left and right with respect to the rod 52. Moreover, the leftward swim and the rightward swim are repeated. This swim appeals to fish eaters.

  The fish eater who misunderstood this lure 2 as bait bites into lure 2. Then, the hook 48 pierces the fish eater and the fish eater is picked up. This lure 2 swim is very similar to a weak fish, so fish eaters are easy to bite. Even an angler who is inferior in rod action skill can easily catch a fish eater by using the lure 2.

  In FIG. 1, a double arrow H <b> 1 indicates the distance between the highest point of the body 8 excluding the fins 32 and 34 and the first eye 36. From the viewpoint of appealing to the fish eater, the ratio of the distance H1 to the total height H is preferably 15% or more and 85% or less, and more preferably 25% or more and 75% or less.

  In FIG. 2, a double arrow L1 indicates the distance between the front end 4 and the first eye 36, and a double arrow L2 indicates the distance between the first eye 36 and the fluid center P. is there. From the viewpoint of appealing to the fish eater, the ratio of the distance L1 to the total length L is preferably 3% to 25%, and more preferably 6% to 22%. From the viewpoint of appealing to the fish eater, the ratio of the distance L2 to the full length L is preferably 2% to 20%, and more preferably 5% to 15%.

  The lure according to the present invention is suitable for fishing in various fields such as lakes, ponds, dams, rivers, and the sea.
