Description

  The present invention relates to a soft lure.

  As is well known, lures used in fishing for fish such as black bass include lures (hereinafter referred to as “soft lures”), for example, worms and swim baits. This soft lure is more commonly used by many anglers because it is easier to reproduce biological movement than a lure whose body is made of a hard member (hereinafter referred to as a “hard lure”), and a stable fishing result can be expected. ing.

  However, since the strength of the main body of the soft lure is weaker than that of the hard lure, the position where the hook 100 (fishing hook) is attached is limited to the front portion of the main body 101 as shown in FIG. This is because the soft lure main body is weak and the eye and hook for connecting the line (fishing line) cannot be separately attached to the main body. For this reason, there are many cases where the fish caught on the rear part of the main body is not caught by the hook and is lost in fishing.

  Therefore, many soft lures that can attach a hook to the rear of the main body have been developed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 described later, a line (fishing line) and a hook are attached to a soft lure without losing flexibility as much as possible by simultaneously forming a thread-like connecting member when molding a soft lure (worm, soft bait). A soft lure capable of freely adjusting the connection position of (fishhook) is disclosed.

  Further, in Patent Document 2 described later, an elongated luer body, a wire member penetrating the luer body in the axial direction, a fishhook connecting portion provided at a protruding end of the luer body at one end of the wire member, In the lure composed of the fishing line connecting portion provided at the protruding end of the luer main body at the other end of the wire member, the luer main body is formed by connecting a plurality of luer main bodies with a wire member penetrating the inside. A lure is disclosed.

Further, Patent Document 3 listed below has a substantially solid main body made of an elastic material formed into a live bait shape such as small fish, insects, and crustaceans, and two surfaces that are embedded in the main body and intersect with each other. A lure is disclosed in which a fishing line is provided in the vicinity of the position, and a connecting plate provided with connecting portions to which both ends of the fishhook can be connected, and a fish spine-shaped connecting tool is embedded in the main body together with the connecting plate.

  However, in the lures disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the connecting member (wire member) embedded in the main body made of a soft member is narrow, the hook attached to the rear part of the main body is used. When the fish bites, if a strong force is applied in either direction to the connecting member connected to the hook as the fish tries to escape, the connecting member will tear the body and jump out to the outside. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be used again.

  On the other hand, in the lure disclosed in Patent Document 3, since the connecting plate and the connecting tool embedded in the main body made of a soft member are wide, the fish bites the hook attached to the rear part of the main body. When the fish tries to escape, it is strong against the force applied in the direction perpendicular to the wide surface such as the connecting plate connected to the hook, but is horizontal to the wide surface such as the connecting plate. It is weak to the force applied in the direction, and if a strong force is applied in the horizontal direction with respect to the wide surface of the connecting plate etc., the connecting plate etc. will tear the main body and jump out to the outside, making it impossible to use it again was there.

  Furthermore, in the lure disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, since the adhesive force between the main body and the connection member, the connection plate, etc. is weak, the connection member, the connection plate, etc. are highly likely to be released from the main body, The main body was easy to tear from the free part.

  The present invention has a technical problem of obtaining a soft lure that is difficult to tear even if a fish bites into a hook attached to a core embedded in the main body. As a result, in the soft lure in which the core material for attaching the hook to the main body is fixed in a state where a part or all of the core material is embedded in the main body, the core material is connected to the plurality of annular members in a chain shape. In other words, the technical problem has been achieved by obtaining the remarkable knowledge that the main body is difficult to tear even if a fish bites into the hook.

  The technical problem can be solved by the present invention as follows.

  That is, the soft lure according to the present invention is a soft lure in which a core material for attaching a hook to a main body is fixed in a state where a part or all of the core material is embedded in the main body, and a plurality of core materials are provided. These annular members are connected in a chain shape.

Further, in the present invention, in the soft lure, the core member includes a plurality of annular members and a connecting member for attaching the hook, and the members are connected.
Is.

  In the present invention, in the soft lure, the connecting members are connected in a state of being sandwiched between annular members.

  Further, according to the present invention, in any of the soft lures described above, the front end portion of the core member protrudes outward from the front portion of the main body.

  Further, according to the present invention, in any one of the soft lures, the rear end portion of the core member projects outward from the rear portion of the main body.

  Further, according to the present invention, a weight is fixed to the core material in any of the soft lures. Furthermore, in another embodiment according to the present invention, a soft material constituting the main body enters a gap formed by each annular member connected in a chain shape of a core material at the time of molding.

  According to the present invention, as the core material embedded in the main body, a plurality of annular members connected in a chain shape is adopted. Therefore, when the fish bites, the hook is moved along with the movement of the fish. Even if a strong force is applied to the attached core material, the main body follows the core material and is difficult to tear. This is because the core material is chained to form a complicatedly entangled gap in the core material, and the soft member enters the gap during molding, so that the core material and the main body are integrally connected to the core material. This is because it is difficult to separate the main body. In addition, the core material in which the annular members are connected in a chain shape will cause the adjacent annular members to interfere with each other if they are twisted more than a certain amount, and further twisting is restricted. The lure will not be twisted beyond a certain level, making it difficult to break.

  Therefore, it can be said that the industrial applicability of the present invention is very high.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
