  However, the above-mentioned conventional soft lure is weak because the resin is soft, and the lure body is only subjected to slight stress such as being struck against the water surface, pulling the line (fishing line) strongly, hitting an obstacle, etc. There was a problem that would break. Of course, there was also a problem that the lure itself could be destroyed just by catching one fish.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention does not break even when stress is applied to the level of a normal fishing operation while taking advantage of the characteristics of a conventional soft lure, and can withstand several fish fishing. Provides a soft lure with high strength.

  The fishing soft lure of the present invention is a fishing soft lure made of soft rubber, gel or soft resin, and is made of metal for passing a hook from the top to the bottom of the lure. The coil is embedded in the vertical direction.

  The fishing soft lure of the present invention has a metal coil for passing a hook (fishing hook) from the top to the bottom at the tip of the lure body, and is embedded in the vertical direction. It is possible to provide a soft lure that is strong enough to withstand the fishing of several fish, without breaking even when applied with the stress of a normal fishing operation, while taking advantage of the characteristics of the lure. That is, since the luer body resin exists between the metal wires constituting the metal coil, even if a large stress is partially applied to the hook, this stress is dispersed or absorbed throughout the metal coil. The destruction of the lure body resin is prevented. This results in a strong soft lure.

FIG. 1A is a side view of a soft lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a plan view thereof. 2A-B are side views showing a process of attaching a hook to the soft lure. FIG. 3A is a side view in which a hook is attached to the soft lure, and FIG. 3B is a plan view thereof. FIG. 4 is a layout diagram of metal coils in the mold during the soft lure molding. FIG. 5 is a perspective view in which a hook is attached to the clawfish type soft lure. FIG. 6 is a side view showing a hook attached to the straight type soft lure. FIG. 7 is a side view of the hook attached to the paddle tail type soft lure. FIG. 8 is a side view in which a hook is attached to the reach type soft lure. FIG. 9 is a side view in which a hook is attached to the grab type soft lure.

  In the soft lure of the present invention, a metal coil (metal spiral body) for passing the hook from the top to the bottom is embedded in the lower end of the tip in the vertical direction. Specifically, the lower end of the tip is preferably near the position under the eyes or near the position of the lower jaw. At this position, it is convenient to pass from the tip of the hook, and the stress dispersion effect is high.

  The number of spirals of the metal coil is preferably about 2 to 5 times. Within this range, the dispersion of stress and the integrity of the soft resin are high. The material of the metal coil can be any material, and for example, steel wire, copper wire, stainless steel wire, aluminum wire, brass wire or the like can be used. The steel wire may be plated with any rust. For example, zinc, tin, copper, or the like may be plated.

The soft lure of the present invention is formed into a fish shape with soft rubber, gel or soft resin.
(1) Soft rubber Examples of the soft rubber include silicone rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber (NBR), polyisoprene rubber (IR), polychloroprene rubber (CR), and ethylene. -Synthetic rubber such as propylene copolymer rubber (EPM), ethylene-propylene-nonconjugated diene copolymer rubber (EPDM), urethane rubber, fluoro rubber, etc., thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), styrene-based TPE, olefin-based TPE, chloride Examples thereof include vinyl TPE, urethane TPE, ester TPE, amide TPE, chlorinated polyethylene TPE, Syn-1,2-polybutadiene TPE, Trans-1,4 polyisoprene TPE, and fluorine TPE.
(2) Gel Gels include silicone gel and acrylic resin gel.
(3) Soft resin Examples of the soft resin include vinyl chloride resin and polyolefin. In the present invention, the general term (1) to (3) may be referred to as a soft resin.

  The metal coil is preferably a metal spring. The metal spring has spring elasticity and can absorb the stress from the hook with spring elasticity. Therefore, when a metal spring is used, the effect of preventing the breakage of the soft resin of the lure body that is even higher is exerted, thereby providing a soft lure with higher strength.

  The soft lure is a fish type, a straight type (eg, earthworm type), a carlitel type (eg, curly caterpillar type), a shad tail type (eg, a type having a flat tail on a thick body), a grab type (eg, earthworm type) ), Hula club type (for example, a grab with a ruffled head), reach type (for example, hill shape), tube type (for example, a skirt shape with a hollow body and a fine tip), paddle tail type (for example, all of canoe or boat) Shape), clawfish type (for example, crayfish type), lizard type (for example, lizard type) and frog type (for example, frog type). These soft lures are also called worm type lures, and are formed of a soft resin (soft resin) material. Since it is molded from a soft resin material, it is common to have the property of being easily broken by the stress of the hook. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to any type of worm type lure. It is particularly preferable to apply to fish-type soft lures. The length of the soft lure of the present invention is preferably about 10 to 300 mm. If it is this range, it is suitable as a pseudo food.

  In the present invention, the metal coil is preferably embedded in the lower end of the tip of the lure by insert molding which is placed in a mold when soft rubber, gel or soft resin is molded. Examples of the soft lure molding method include an injection molding method. The soft luer of the present invention can be formed by using two vertically divided molds and inserting a metal coil between the two molds.

  As for the thickness of the metal wire which comprises a metal coil, 0.1-10 mm in diameter is preferable, More preferably, it is 0.3-1.0 mm. If the thickness is within this range, it is convenient for insert molding and the strength can be sufficiently high. Moreover, 0.5-30 mm is preferable and, as for the internal diameter of a metal coil, More preferably, it is 1-10 mm. If it is this range, it is large enough to pass the hook. The winding pitch is preferably in the range of 1 to 30 turns per 10 mm. Within this range, the soft resin is filled between the metal wires, and the metal coil can be integrated with the soft resin.

  It is preferable that the rear portion of the lure includes one or more partial thin portions in the vertical direction, and reinforcing ribs are included in the lateral direction of any portion of the thin portions. By inserting the reinforcing ribs, the lateral movement can be suppressed and the movement of the small fish can be approximated. Anglers who do not want to suppress lateral movement can cut and use the reinforcing ribs.

  This will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a side view of a soft lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a plan view thereof. The soft lure 1 is composed of a head 2, a chest 3, and a portion behind the chest, and the portions behind the chest are thin portions 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and reinforcing ribs 5a, 5b at substantially the center of the thin portion. , 5c, 5d, thick portions 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, tail fin 7, dorsal fin 8a, 8b and belly fin 8c. The reinforcing ribs 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are continuous in the longitudinal direction between the chest, the thick part, and the thick part, and the width thereof is narrower than the thick part. A recess 9 is formed in the upper part of the head 2 and the chest 3 for inserting the tip of the hook.

  Such a soft lure 1 is embedded in the metal coil 10 by insert molding at a position below the eyes of the head 2 at the tip of the soft lure 1, that is, at the position of the lower jaw. The metal coil 10 is embedded in the vertical direction. Reference numeral 11 denotes a wire for fixing the metal coil 10 during insert molding.

The metal coil 10 and the wire 11 are welded in advance, and are arranged between the two vertically divided molds 14a and 14b in the state shown in FIG. 4, and a soft resin is filled into the molds 14a and 14b for insert molding. . After molding, the molds 14 a and 14 b are removed, and the wire 11 outside the soft lure is cut along the cut line 13.

  According to the above configuration, the resin itself is soft and weak in strength, but it does not break even when stressed by hitting the surface of the water, pulling a line (fishing line) strongly, hitting an obstacle, etc. It becomes possible to fish.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described with reference to examples. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following Example.

Example 1
A fish-shaped soft lure 1 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B was molded by injection molding. Soft vinyl resin (safety PVC) was used as the soft resin. The properties were close to gels. Inside the mold used for molding, a spring 10 is placed under the eye (lower jaw) with a steel wire (steel) with a thickness of 0.5 mm and an inner diameter of 3 mm and a winding pitch of 10 mm per 10 mm. did. The spring 10 was triple wound and the length was 3 mm. The spring 10 was connected to the wire 11 and fixed in the mold. Two molds, which were divided vertically, were used, and a spring 10 was inserted vertically between the two molds and fixed to insert molding. The obtained soft lure 1 had a length of 110 mm and a weight of 9 g.

  A hook 12 was attached to the resulting soft lure 1 as shown in FIGS. 2A-B to 3A-B. The hook 12 was obtained by processing a steel wire having a thickness of 1.1 mm and had a weight of 0.65 g.

  The soft lure 1 did not break even when a line was connected to the ring portion 12a at the base of the hook 12 and a length of 10 m in water was pulled 50 times with a reel at a normal speed of about 0.6 to 1.2 m / sec. Furthermore, it did not break even when it was strongly struck against the water surface, the line was pulled strongly at a speed 2 to 3 times the normal speed, or it hit an obstacle. In actual black bass fishing, even 4 fish were not broken.

(Comparative Example 1)
The conventional lure in which the spring 10 was not embedded in Example 1 was broken by the same black bass fishing as in Example 1 and was broken and could not be used. The destruction location was the mouth of the tip.

(Example 2)
In Example 1, instead of the fish type, the clawfish type soft lure shown in FIG. 5, the straight type soft lure shown in FIG. 6, the paddle tail type soft lure shown in FIG. 7, the reach type soft lure shown in FIG. Each steel wire spring was embedded in the grab type soft lure shown in Fig. 1, hooks were attached, and the lines were tied.

  As in Example 1, each soft lure was not broken even when the length of 10 m in water was pulled 50 times with a reel at a normal speed of about 0.6 to 1.2 m / sec. Furthermore, it did not break even when it was strongly struck against the water surface, the line was pulled strongly at a speed 2 to 3 times the normal speed, or it hit an obstacle. In actual black bass fishing, even 4 fish were not broken.

  As described above, the conventional soft lure has had a problem of weak strength derived from the soft resin, but the strength could be increased by embedding the metal wire coil in the tip as in the present invention.
