Description

The present disclosure relates to a lure with a jig head and a jig head used for fishing.

FIG. 18 is a side view showing an example of a conventional lure with a jig head. A conventional jig head has a structure in which the proximal end of the shaft of a fishhook curved in a J-shape is fixed to a lead head that functions as a weight (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such conventional jig heads are used with soft lures made of synthetic resin attached to fishing hooks. A lure with a jig head, which is constructed by attaching a soft lure to a jig head, only moves linearly in the direction in which the line is drawn during steady retrieval in which the reel is wound at a constant speed, and the soft lure hardly moves. Therefore, anglers perform rod work such as jerking, which involves shaking the rod greatly, and twitching, which moves the tip of the rod back and forth in small increments, in order to impart movement to the soft lure.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-045918

However, there is a problem in that whether a soft lure can be given a movement that is highly effective at attracting fish depends on the angler's rod work skills.

The present disclosure has been made in view of such circumstances, and its main purpose is to provide a lure with a jig head and a jig head that can solve the above problems.

In order to solve the above problems, a lure with a jig head according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a soft lure formed of a soft synthetic resin, and a jig head to which the soft lure is attached, and the jig head is made of metal. and a mounting part for mounting the soft lure protruding from the rear surface of the head, and when the jig head is viewed from the front to the rear, the soft lure is mounted on the mounting part. A portion of the front surface of the head is exposed from the head.

With the above configuration, when the lure with a jig head moves underwater, a portion of the front surface of the soft lure exposed from the head receives water flow. The water flow exerts a complex force on the exposed part, causing the soft lure to sway. Therefore, steady retrieval can give the lure a movement that is highly effective at attracting fish.

In this aspect, the width of the front surface of the soft lure may be larger than the width of the head. This exposes the left and right parts of the front of the soft lure from the head. Therefore, the soft lure swings from side to side due to the force exerted on the exposed portion by the water flow. Therefore, steady retrieval can give the lure a movement that is highly effective at attracting fish.

In the above aspect, the front surface of the soft lure attached to the attachment portion may overlap an upper portion of the rear surface of the head, and may be exposed at least above the head. This causes a downward force to act on the soft lure as the water stream hits the exposed part. Therefore, the operation of the lure can be stabilized.

In the above aspect, the head may have a flat shape. This allows the front surface of the soft lure to be easily exposed. Furthermore, the resistance applied to the head when the lure moves underwater can be reduced. Furthermore, when casting a lure, the air resistance applied to the head can be reduced, and the flight distance of the lure can be extended.

In the above aspect, the jig head may further include a line connection part that protrudes from the upper end of the head and to which an end of the line is connected, and the line connection part may be in the form of a plate having a width smaller than that of the head. Thereby, the resistance of water flow acting on the line connection portion can be suppressed. Furthermore, the line connection part functions as a stabilizing plate and can stabilize the movement of the lure.

In the above aspect, the head may have a shape that becomes thinner toward the front, and the line connection portion may have a shape such that the amount of protrusion from the head becomes smaller as it goes toward the front. This makes it possible to suppress the resistance of the water flow acting on the head and the line connection portion.

In the above aspect, the front surface of the soft lure may be exposed from both sides of the line connection part. As a result, the left and right parts of the front surface of the soft lure are exposed from the line connection part. Therefore, the soft lure swings from side to side due to the force exerted on the exposed portion by the water flow. Therefore, steady retrieval can give the lure a movement that is highly effective at attracting fish.

In the above aspect, the jig head further includes a hook attachment part that protrudes from a lower part of the rear surface of the head than the attachment part and to which a hook is attached, and the line connection part and the hook attachment part are integrally attached to the head. It may be composed of a single metal plate in which parts are embedded. Thereby, by embedding one metal plate in the head, the line connection part and the hook attachment part are formed, and the jig head can be easily manufactured. Furthermore, the strength of the jig head is improved by the metal plate embedded in the head.

In the above aspect, the mounting portion may have a plate shape with a width smaller than that of the head. Thereby, the mounting portion can be easily manufactured by press working or the like.

In the above aspect, the mounting portion may include a barb portion that is sharp toward the front. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the soft lure from falling off from the attachment part.

In the above aspect, the line connecting portion, the hook attaching portion, and the mounting portion may be constituted by a single metal plate that is partially embedded in the head. Accordingly, by embedding one metal plate in the head, the line connection part, hook attachment part, and attachment part are formed, and the jig head can be easily manufactured.

In the above aspect, the jig head further includes a hook attachment part that protrudes from a lower part of the rear surface of the head than the attachment part and to which a hook is attached, and the upper surface of the hook attachment part supports the lower surface of the soft lure. You may. This makes it possible to stabilize the movement of the soft lure underwater.

In the above aspect, the hook attachment portion may have a plate shape with a width smaller than that of the head. Thereby, the resistance of the water flow acting on the hook attachment portion can be suppressed. Furthermore, the hook attachment part functions as a stabilizing plate and can stabilize the movement of the lure.

In the above aspect, the hook attachment portion includes a first hook eye to which a first hook is attached, and a second hook eye to which a second hook is attached behind the first hook, and the first hook eye is attached to the head. It may be provided in a recess provided in the lower part of. Thereby, two hooks can be efficiently attached to the limited space of the jig head. Furthermore, a sufficient distance can be provided between the first hook and the second hook, and it is possible to prevent the first hook and the second hook from becoming entangled.

In the above aspect, the hook attaching portion may be constituted by a single metal plate partially embedded in the head. Thereby, by embedding one metal plate in the head, the first hook eye and the second hook eye can be provided on the jig head, and the jig head can be easily manufactured. Furthermore, the strength of the jig head is improved by the metal plate embedded in the head.

A jig head according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a jig head on which a soft lure formed of a soft synthetic resin is attached, and includes a metal head and a section for attaching the soft lure that protrudes from the rear surface of the head. a mounting part, and when the jig head is viewed from the front to the rear, a part of the front surface of the soft lure mounted on the mounting part is exposed from the head.

With the above configuration, when the lure with a jig head moves underwater, a portion of the front surface of the soft lure exposed from the head receives water flow. The water flow exerts a complex force on the exposed part, causing the soft lure to sway. Therefore, steady retrieval can give the lure a movement that is highly effective at attracting fish.

According to the present disclosure, steady retrieval also makes it possible to give the soft lure a movement that is highly effective at attracting fish.

It should be noted that each embodiment shown below is an example of a method and a product for embodying the technical idea of the present disclosure, and the technical idea of the present disclosure is not limited to the following. do not have. The technical idea of the present disclosure can be modified in various ways within the technical scope described in the claims.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a soft lure 6 is attached to a jig head 1 according to the present embodiment, that is, the configuration of a lure 100 with a jig head. 2 is a front view of the jig head 1 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof, FIG. 4 is a right side view thereof, FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof, and FIG. 6 is a rear view thereof. Note that in the figure, directions are indicated by arrows. The moving direction of the lure with a jig head in the water is defined as "forward", and the direction opposite to the moving direction, that is, the direction of water flow, is defined as "backward". Further, the top side of the jig head, ie, the dorsal side of the lure with the jig head, is referred to as the "upper side," and the chin side of the jig head, ie, the ventral side of the lure with the jig head, is referred to as the "lower side." Also, when facing the front of a lure with a jig head, the right side is called the "right side" and the left side is called the "left side."

As shown in FIG. 1, the jig head-equipped lure 100 is constructed by attaching a soft lure 6 to a jig head 1. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the jig head 1 includes a head 2 and a mounting section 3.

The head 2 is made of metal such as lead, tungsten, and tin, and functions as a weight. The head 2 has a flat shape. That is, the height (vertical length) of the head 2 is longer than the width (horizontal length) of the head 2. For example, the ratio of the height and width of the head 2 is set in a range of 3:2 to 10:1.

The head 2 has a shape that becomes thinner toward the front. In a specific example, the head 2 has a general cannonball shape with a sharp front end or a shape imitating a fish's head. The head 2 has an elliptical shape when viewed from the front. More specifically, the head 2 has a so-called teardrop shape, which is an asymmetrical shape in which the lower part is slightly wider than the upper part so that the center of gravity is located below the center in the vertical direction. There is.

Note that the shape of the head 2 is not limited to the one described above. For example, a recess for water flow control may be formed in a part of the head 2. Further, as long as the shape is flat in the left-right direction, it may be approximately rectangular, triangular, circular, or the like.

A line connecting portion 4 protrudes from the upper end of the head 2. The end of the line is connected to the line connection part 4. The line connecting portion 4 has a line eye 41 that is a hole for connecting lines. The line eye 41 has a circular shape centered on an axis extending in the left-right direction, and a line is connected to the line eye 41 via a split ring that is a metal annular member.

The line connecting portion 4 has a plate shape with a width smaller than that of the head 2. Specifically, the line connection portion 4 is a metal plate, and a portion thereof is embedded in the head 2. In one example, the line connecting portion 4 has a shape in which the amount of protrusion from the head 2 decreases toward the front. The front end of the line connecting portion 4 is sharp. That is, the line connecting portion 4 has a generally triangular or wedge shape when viewed from the side. Thereby, the resistance of water flow in the line connection part 4 can be suppressed.

The rear surface of the head 2 is flat, and a mounting portion 3 and a hook attachment portion 5 protrude from the rear surface of the head 2. Specifically, the mounting portion 3 protrudes rearward from an upper portion of the rear surface of the head 2, and the hook attachment portion 5 protrudes rearward from a lower portion of the rear surface of the head 2. That is, the mounting part 3 is located above the hook mounting part 5.

The mounting portion 3 has a plate shape with a width smaller than that of the head 2. Specifically, the mounting portion 3 is a metal plate, and a portion thereof is embedded in the head 2. In one example, the mounting portion 3 includes a main body portion 31 and a barb portion 32 . The main body portion 31 has a rod shape that extends linearly toward the rear. The barb portion 32 is provided, for example, at an intermediate portion of the main body portion 31 in the front-rear direction. The barb portion 32 has a sharp shape toward the front. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a barb portion 32 protrudes diagonally upward and forward from the middle portion of the upper side of the main body portion 31. As shown in FIG.

More specifically, the mounting portion 3 protrudes rearward from the upper end of the rear surface of the head 2 . In the example of FIG. 4 , the upper portion of the main body 31 is located at a higher position than the upper end of the head 2 . More specifically, the center of the main body portion 31 in the vertical direction is located at the same position as the upper end of the rear surface of the head 2 . That is, the lower part of the base end of the main body part 31 overlaps the rear surface of the head 2 in the vertical direction, and the upper part of the base end of the main body part 31 projects upwardly than the rear surface of the head 2.

The line connection part 4 and the mounting part 3 may be continuous. That is, the line connection part 4 and the mounting part 3 may be constituted by one metal plate. In the example of FIG. 4, the lower part of the rear end of the line connecting part 4 and the upper part of the front end of the main body part 31 are continuous. That is, the line connecting portion 4 and the mounting portion 3 are connected to each other outside the head 2. Further, the line connecting portion 4 and the mounting portion 3 may be connected to each other inside the head 2 as well.

The hook attachment part 5 has a plate shape with a width smaller than that of the head 2. Specifically, the hook attachment portion 5 is a metal plate, and a portion thereof is embedded in the head 2. In one example, the hook attachment portion 5 includes a first hook eye 51a and a second hook eye 52a. The first hook eye 51a and the second hook eye 52a are holes for connecting the hooks 71 and 72, respectively. The second hook eye 52a is provided rearward than the first hook eye 51a. Each of the first hook eye 51a and the second hook eye 52a has a circular shape centered on an axis extending in the left-right direction. A first hook 71 is attached to the first hook eye 51a via a split ring 71a, which is a metal annular member, and a second hook 72 is attached to the second hook eye 52a via a split ring 72a. That is, two hooks are attached to the jig head 1. However, the number of hooks is not limited to two. Only one hook may be attached to the jig head 1, or three or more hooks may be attached to the jig head 1.

The first hook 71 and the second hook 72 are three-pronged treble hooks. Note that the first hook 71 and the second hook 72 are not limited to treble hooks. For example, the first hook 71 and the second hook 72 may be a single hook with one needle or a double hook with two needles. Further, the first hook 71 and the second hook 72 may be different types of fishing hooks. For example, the first hook 71 may be a treble hook, and the second hook 72 may be a double hook.

The hook attachment part 5 includes a first attachment part 51 and a second attachment part 52. The first attachment part 51 has a first hook eye 51a. The first attachment portion 51 is provided in the recess 21 provided at the bottom of the head 2 . In a specific example, the recess 21 is formed in a semicircular shape when viewed from the side, and the plate-shaped first attachment portion 51 is disposed inside the recess 21 .

The second attachment portion 52 has a second hook eye 52a. The second attachment portion 52 protrudes rearward from the lower end portion of the rear surface of the head 2 . The second attachment portion 52 has a rod shape that extends linearly toward the rear. The second hook eye 52a is provided at the rear end of the second attachment portion 52.

The first attachment part 51 and the second attachment part 52 may be formed of one metal plate. That is, the first attachment part 51 and the second attachment part 52 may be continuous inside the head 2.

The mounting portion 3 and the hook attachment portion 5 may be formed of one metal plate. In other words, the mounting part 3 and the hook mounting part 5 may be continuous inside the head 2.

In a more specific example, the line connecting part 4, the mounting part 3, and the hook attaching part 5 are made of one metal plate. That is, the line connecting part 4, the mounting part 3, and the hook attaching part 5 are continuous at least inside the head 2. Thereby, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing process of the jig head 1 can be simplified. Furthermore, the positional relationship between the line connection part 4, the attachment part 3, and the hook attachment part 5 is constant, and variations from product to product can be suppressed. Thereby, yield can be improved. Furthermore, the strength of the jig head 1 is improved by the metal plate embedded in the head 2.

FIG. 7 is a front view showing the configuration of a lure 100 with a jig head according to the present embodiment, FIG. 8 is a plan view thereof, FIG. 9 is a right side view thereof, FIG. 10 is a bottom view thereof, and FIG. 11 is a rear view thereof. be. A user attaches the soft lure 6 to the jig head 1 by inserting the attachment part 3 into the front end of the soft lure 6 which is long in the front-rear direction. The soft lure 6 is attached to the jig head 1 so that the front surface of the soft lure 6 is in close contact with the front surface of the head 2 or is opposed to the front surface of the head 2 with a slight space in between. The soft lure 6 is made of a soft material such as soft synthetic resin or natural rubber and has an elongated shape imitating the body of a fish, annelid (earthworm, lugworm, etc.). Note that the shape of the soft lure 6 is not limited to this, and may be a shape imitating a crustacean such as a crayfish, shrimp, or frog, or an amphibian.

A soft lure 6 is inserted into the mounting portion 3 from the rear side. The mounting part 3 pierces the front surface of the soft lure 6, and the soft lure 6 is inserted into the mounting part 3 until the front surface of the soft lure 6 contacts the rear surface of the head 2. Thereby, the soft lure 6 is attached to the attachment part 3.

When the attachment part 3 is inserted into the soft lure 6, the rear end of the attachment part 3 (main body part 31) is inserted into the center of the front surface of the soft lure 6. As described above, the vertical center of the main body portion 31 is located at the same position as the upper end of the rear surface of the head 2. Therefore, the upper part of the front surface of the soft lure 6 attached to the attachment part 3 is located above the rear surface of the head 2 and exposed to the outside.

As described above, since the mounting part 3 is in the shape of a rod extending linearly, the user can easily mount the soft lure 6 on the jig head 1 by simply inserting the mounting part 3 straight into the soft lure 6.

The user inserts the attachment part 3 into the soft lure 6 with the lower surface of the soft lure 6 in contact with the upper surface of the second attachment part 52. Thereby, the second attachment part 52 serves as a guide, and the user can attach the soft lure 6 to the attachment part 3 straight.

The lower surface of the soft lure 6 mounted on the mounting section 3 is supported by the upper surface of the second mounting section 52. Thereby, even if the mounting part 3 is short, the rear part of the soft lure 6 from the mounting part 3 is prevented from hanging downward. Therefore, the posture of the lure 100 with a jig head is maintained in a shape resembling a fish or the like. Furthermore, even when the jig head-equipped lure 100 moves underwater, the upper surface of the second attachment part 52 supports the lower surface of the soft lure 6, so that the movement of the soft lure 6 is stabilized.

When the soft lure 6 is attached to the attachment section 3 with the lower surface in contact with the upper surface of the second attachment section 52, the front surface of the soft lure 6 projects upward from the upper end of the head 2. That is, as will be described later, a portion of the front surface of the soft lure 6 is exposed from the head 2 when viewed from the front.

When a rearward (pulling direction) force is applied to the soft lure 6, the barb portion 32 sticks into the inside of the soft lure 6. This prevents the soft lure 6 from falling off from the mounting portion 3.

FIG. 12 is a plan view for explaining the range of motion of the soft lure 6 attached to the jig head 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, the area in which the attachment part 3 on the front side of the soft lure 6 is inserted is not deformed. In other words, in the soft lure 6, the portion behind the mounting portion 3 becomes the movable range. In this way, the range of motion of the soft lure 6 is determined depending on the length of the attachment portion 3.

The larger the range of motion of the soft lure 6, the more natural action similar to that of a fish is possible. For this reason, it is preferable that the length of the mounting portion 3 is short. In the example of FIG. 4, the length of the mounting portion 3 in the front-rear direction is shorter than the length of the second attachment portion 52 in the front-rear direction.

On the other hand, the attachment part 3 needs to firmly hold the soft lure 6 and prevent the soft lure 6 from falling off. In the jig head 1 according to the present embodiment, the mounting portion 3 is provided with a sharp barb portion 32 toward the front, so that the length of the mounting portion 3 is shortened and the soft lure 6 is firmly held. be able to.

Next, the operation of the jig head-equipped lure 100 according to the present embodiment will be explained. When the lure 100 with a jig head is advanced in water by steady retrieval, the soft lure 6 vibrates from side to side (hereinafter referred to as "vibration"). This vibration is caused by the shape of the head 2 and the mounting position of the soft lure 6.

FIG. 13 is a front view for explaining the portion of the front surface of the soft lure that is hit by the water flow. In FIG. 13, portions 61a and 61b shown by diagonal lines on the front surface of the soft lure 6 are not hidden by the head 2 and the line connecting portion 4 and are exposed.

As shown in FIG. 13, the upper end point 61p of the front surface of the soft lure 6 is located above the upper end point 21p of the head 2. Therefore, the exposed portions 61a and 61b include a portion of the front surface of the soft lure 6 above the head 2.

Further, the upper end point 41p of the line connecting portion 4 is located at approximately the same position as the upper end point 61p of the front surface of the soft lure 6. That is, the upper end position of the line connecting portion 4 is aligned with the upper end position of the front surface of the soft lure 6. Further, the width W1 of the front surface of the soft lure 6 is larger than the width W2 of the line connecting portion 4. Therefore, the exposed portions 61a and 61b include portions on both sides of the line connecting portion 4. In other words, a portion of the front surface of the soft lure 6 above the head 2 is partitioned into left and right by the line connecting portion 4. The line connection portion 4 has a function as a partition plate between the exposed portions 61a and 61b.

Furthermore, the width W1 of the front surface of the soft lure 6 is larger than the width W3 of the head 2. Therefore, the exposed portions 61a and 61b include portions on both the left and right sides of the head 2.

As described above, the exposed front portions 61a and 61b of the soft lure 6 are exposed from the rear surface of the head 2. As a result, when the jig head-equipped lure 100 moves underwater, the exposed portions 61a and 61b receive water flow.

FIGS. 14A and 14B are diagrams for explaining water flow when the lure with a jig head according to the embodiment advances in water. When the lure 100 with a jig head is pulled underwater by steady retrieval, a resistance force due to the water flow is applied to the exposed portions 61a, 61b of the soft lure 6.

Since the resistance force is unbalancedly applied to the left and right exposed portions 61a and 61b, for example, the exposed portion 61a with the smaller resistance force moves forward and the exposed portion 61b with the larger resistance force moves backward. Then, the jig head-equipped lure 100 rotates to one side (for example, to the left) with the head 2 or the position in front of the head 2 as a fulcrum. Note that "rotating to the left" here means rotating about the vertical axis passing through the head 2 or in front of the head 2 so that the rear part of the lure 100 with a jig head swings to the left in a plan view. It means that.

When the jig head-equipped lure 100 rotates to the left, the water flow collides with the left side surfaces of the head 2 and the soft lure 6, creating a strong resistance force. In particular, since the head 2 has a flat shape, many water streams collide with the left side surface of the head 2, and a strong force acts on the head 2 in the direction of rotating it to the right. Further, as described above, since the exposed portions 61a and 61b on the front surface of the head 2 are partitioned by the line connecting portion 4, the exposed portion 61a on the left side that has moved forward is exposed to the water flow. At this time, when the jig head-equipped lure 100 is viewed from the front, the exposed portion 61b on the right side is hidden by the line connecting portion 4, which is a partition plate. Therefore, a strong resistance force due to the water flow acts on the exposed portion 61a on the left side, and almost no water flow hits the exposed portion 61b on the right side, so that almost no resistance force acts on the exposed portion 61b on the right side. Therefore, the jig head-equipped lure 100 does not continue to rotate to the left, and the direction of rotation is reversed to the right.

When the jig head-equipped lure 100 rotates to the right, the right side surfaces of the head 2 and the soft lure 6 face forward, and the exposed portion 61b on the right side moves forward and the exposed portion 61b on the left side moves backward. As a result, the water flow collides with the right side surfaces of the head 2 and the soft lure 6, creating a strong resistance force. In particular, since the head 2 has a flat shape, many water streams collide with the right side surface of the head 2, and a strong force acts on the head 2 in the direction of rotating it to the left. Moreover, since the front exposed portions 61a and 61b of the head 2 are partitioned by the line connecting portion 4, the right exposed portion 61b that has moved forward is exposed to the water flow. At this time, when the lure 100 with a jig head is viewed from the front, the exposed portion 61a on the left side is hidden by the line connecting portion 4, which is a partition plate. Therefore, a strong resistance force due to the water flow acts on the exposed portion 61b on the right side, and almost no water flow hits the exposed portion 61a on the left side, so that almost no resistance force acts on the exposed portion 61a on the left side. Therefore, the rotation direction of the jig head-equipped lure 100 is reversed to the left. By repeating such left and right rotation, the jig head attached lure 100 vibrates.

Furthermore, since the soft lure 6 is flexible, the rear part of the soft lure 6 moves left and right slightly behind the timing of left and right rotation of the head 2. As a result, the soft lure 6 moves in a wave-like manner, much like the complicated swimming movement of a fish. The target fish reacts to this movement, resulting in a fish-attracting effect.

(First modification)
In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the plate-shaped line connecting portion 4 protrudes from the upper side of the head 2 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. FIG. 15 is a right side view showing a first modification of the lure with a jig head according to the embodiment. In a lure 100A with a jig head shown in FIG. 15, an annular line connecting member 4A is attached to the upper end of the head 2 of the jig head 1A.

In the jig head-equipped lure 100A of the first modification, the exposed portion of the front surface of the soft lure 6 from the head 2 is not partitioned into left and right sides. Even in this embodiment, the jig head-equipped lure 100A vibrates by steady retrieval.

When the lure 100A with a jig head is pulled underwater by steady retrieval, a resistance force due to the water flow is applied to the exposed portion of the soft lure 6. Since the resistance force is unbalancedly applied to the exposed part, for example, the head 2 or The jig head-equipped lure 100A rotates to one side (for example, to the left) with the front position as a fulcrum.

When the jig head-equipped lure 100A rotates to the left, the water flow collides with the left side surfaces of the head 2 and the soft lure 6, creating a strong resistance force. In particular, since the head 2 has a flat shape, many water streams collide with the left side surface of the head 2, and a strong force acts on the head 2 in the direction of rotating it to the right. Moreover, the left side portion of the exposed portion that has moved forward is subjected to a large resistance force due to the water flow, particularly at the curved portion that forms the boundary between the front surface and the left side surface of the soft lure 6. On the other hand, for the right side of the exposed portion that has moved rearward, the difference in angle with the water flow direction becomes smaller, and the resistance force due to the water flow becomes smaller. Therefore, the jig head-equipped lure 100A does not continue to rotate to the left, and the direction of rotation is reversed to the right.

By rotating the jig head-equipped lure 100A to the right, the right side surfaces of the head 2 and the soft lure 6 face forward, and the right side of the exposed front surface of the soft lure 6 moves forward and the left side moves backward. As a result, the water flow collides with the right side surfaces of the head 2 and the soft lure 6, creating a strong resistance force. In particular, since the head 2 has a flat shape, many water streams collide with the right side surface of the head 2, and a strong force acts on the head 2 in the direction of rotating it to the left. Moreover, the right side of the exposed portion that has moved forward is subjected to a large resistance force due to the water flow, particularly at the curved portion that forms the boundary between the front surface and the right side surface of the soft lure 6. On the other hand, for the left side portion of the exposed portion that has moved rearward, the difference in angle with the water flow direction becomes smaller, and the resistance force due to the water flow becomes smaller. Therefore, the rotational direction of the jig head-equipped lure 100A is reversed to the left. By repeating such left and right rotation, the jig head attached lure 100A vibrates.

Note that the line connection portion may have other configurations.

(Second modification)
In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the plate-shaped mounting portion 3 protrudes from the rear surface of the head 2 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. FIG. 16 is a right side view showing a second modified example of the jig head according to the embodiment. In the jig head 1B shown in FIG. 16, a mounting portion 3B protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the head 2. The mounting portion 3B includes a rod portion 33 with a circular cross section that extends linearly in the front-rear direction, and a linear needle portion 34 that extends rearward from the rear end of the rod portion 33. Ring-shaped convex portions are provided at a plurality of locations on the rod-shaped portion 33 in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, a tapered portion that is formed to become thinner toward the rear is provided on the rear end side of the rod-shaped portion 33. The needle portion 34 mentioned above extends rearward from the tip of the tapered portion. The needle portion 34 is made of a highly hard material such as stainless steel. The rod-shaped portion is made of the same material as the head 2, and is integrally formed with the head 2 by casting.

As described above, since the rod-shaped portion 33 is linearly extended, the user can easily attach the soft lure 6 to the jig head 1B by simply inserting the attachment portion 3B straight into the soft lure 6. Further, since a convex portion is provided on the side surface of the rod-shaped portion 33, the soft lure 6 is locked to this convex portion, and it is possible to prevent the soft lure 6 from falling off from the mounting portion 3B.

The mounting portion may also have a configuration other than the above. For example, the mounting portion may be formed of a spring-like member made of a spirally wound wire. In such a mounting part, the soft lure can be firmly mounted to the mounting part by inserting the jig head into the soft lure 6 while rotating the jig head around the axis of the mounting part. Note that the mounting portion may have other configurations.

(Third modification)
In the above embodiment, a configuration in which the plate-shaped hook attachment portion 5 is provided on the head 2 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. FIG. 17 is a right side view showing a third modification of the jig head according to the embodiment. In the jig head 1C shown in FIG. 17, the head 2 is not provided with the recess 21, and the lower part of the head 2 is extended rearward. The hook attachment portion 5C, which is an extension, is not plate-shaped but has a curved surface that smoothly connects to the head 2. The width of the hook attachment portion 5C is the same as or slightly smaller than the width of the connection portion of the head 2.

An annular hook connecting member 53 is provided on the rear lower surface of the hook attachment portion 5C. A hook 73 is connected to the hook connecting member 53 via a split ring 73a.

The hook attachment portion may also have a configuration other than the above. For example, a rod-shaped wire may be extended in a straight line rearward from the lower part of the rear surface of the head 2, and this may be used as the hook attachment portion. An annular hook connecting member may be attached to the rear end or middle portion of the wire, and the hook may be connected to this hook attaching member via a split ring. Note that the hook attachment portion may have another configuration.

(Other variations)
In the above embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the height of the line connecting portion 4 is matched with the height of the front surface of the soft lure 6, but the present invention is not limited to this. The height of the line connection part 4 may be higher or lower than the height of the front surface of the soft lure 6. Even if the height of the line connecting part 4 is made lower than the front height of the soft lure 6, the exposed front part of the soft lure 6 is partially partitioned into left and right by the line connecting part 4. Therefore, when the jig head is tilted to either the left or right side, a portion of the exposed portion of the front surface of the soft lure 6 is hidden by the line connecting portion 4, resulting in a difference in the distribution of the resistance force due to the water flow in the exposed portion. For this reason, the lure with the jig head vibrates.
