Description

  The present invention relates to a weight cover that can be detachably mounted on the outside of a fishing sinker or a metal jig, and a snapper rubber having the sinker covered with the weight cover.

A fishing weight may be used with a rubber cover. When throwing or rock fishing, the weight is often caught between the rocks on the sea floor, but even if it gets caught in such a way, if you pull the fishing line strongly, the rubber cover comes off and the weight can be collected easily. In order to
Patent Literature 1 and the like describe a rubber cover used as such. The document 1 also describes that the material is made of soft rubber having a slightly thicker thickness, and that the color of the surface of the rubber cover shines even on the seabed to make it easier to attract fish.

Utility Model Registration No. 3028013

If the weight is covered with a rubber cover as described in Patent Literature 1, it should be possible to recover the weight as described above even when the weight is caught between the rocks. It seems possible. The effect of protecting the weight (especially the surface coating) can be expected by covering the rubber cover.
However, since the rubber cover needs to be easily detached from the weight, several deep cut lines are formed from the vertex (the opening portion through which the fishing line passes) to the vicinity of the center. Rubber is an elastic material and expands and contracts, but general rubber has insufficient elasticity, so it is difficult to cover the outside of the weight simply by providing an opening. I can guess.

With the rubber cover having the cut line as described above and easily coming off the weight, it is difficult to sufficiently and widely cover the surface of the weight and sufficiently protect its coating film and the like. When trying to attract fish by moving the weight and the artificial bait etc. connected to it, if the weight hits the rock, a metal sound will be generated and the fish may escape, but if the cover is easy to come off, always prevent the generation of the metal sound It is difficult to do it. Further, since the cover is easily separated from the weight due to the score line, it is also difficult to take an aggressive method of collecting fish, such as inserting special materials between the two to dissipate the smell or the like preferred by the fish.
The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a weight cover or the like which can widely and firmly cover the surface of the weight and does not easily come off the weight.

  The weight cover according to the invention is a weight cover that can be placed closely on the outside of a fishing sinker or metal jig (that is, made of metal and sinks in water) and that can be removed on the contrary. A hollow body having at least one opening that penetrates through (i.e., communicates between the inside and the outside) (i.e., has a hollow inside) an elastic deformation capable of increasing the diameter of the opening by three times or more It is characterized by being formed by a soft elastic film having a function. 1 and 3 show an example of the devised weight cover, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the cover is put on the sinker.

With such a weight cover, it is possible to removably and densely cover the outside of the weight using the above-mentioned opening without having a cut line as in the example of the above-mentioned document 1. This is because the diameter of the opening can be tripled or more based on the elasticity (stretchability) of the soft elastic film. Through the enlarged opening, the outside of the weight can be covered with a cover or hollow body covering the weight and can be removed in reverse.
If the opening can be greatly enlarged, the opening can be formed small based on the elasticity, and the dimension is designed so that the diameter of the opening is kept small even when the cover is put on the weight. Can be. When the opening is made smaller, the cover is widely and firmly covered over the surface of the weight so that it cannot be easily removed. Since the elasticity of the film is high, it is naturally possible to cover the weight in close contact with the weight. Therefore, the weight cover of the invention protects the weight paint film etc. sufficiently and always suppresses the metallic sound when the weight hits the rocks on the seabed. No). In addition, it is possible to adopt a fish collecting method in which a substance having a odor that the fish likes is put between the weight and the cover, and the odor is gradually released from the opening.

  In the weight cover of the present invention, it is preferable that the film constituting the hollow body is an elastomer (thermoplastic elastomer) having a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

Elastomers have an extremely high elastic deformation ability as compared with synthetic rubber, silicon rubber, vinyl chloride, and the like, and it is not difficult to expand the diameter of the opening three times or more by elastic deformation as described above. If the thickness is within the above range, the thickness can be increased five times or more by elastic deformation. Therefore, an elastomer is particularly suitable for forming the weight cover as the soft elastic film. Since the elastomer is excellent in processability, it can be made into a hollow body with an opening at a relatively low cost, and it has good coloring properties. Therefore, it is not difficult to give a color to enhance the fish collecting effect. Because of its high elasticity, the feeling when the fish bite should not be bad and there is no fear of scaring the fish.
However, since the specific gravity of the elastomer is small, when the thickness of the cover made of the elastomer is increased, the movement of the weight in water becomes slow. If the movement is slow, the effect of attracting fish by weights and artificial baits is reduced, and therefore, it is advantageous that the thickness does not exceed 1.5 mm as described above. Further, it is desirable that the thickness is 0.5 mm or more in order to alleviate the impact when hitting a rock or the like so as not to surprise the fish and to protect the coating film of the weight.
When the weight, that is, the sinker or the metal jig is made of tungsten, it is also preferable to use a thin one having a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm as an elastomer cover to cover the weight. Tungsten has a higher specific gravity than lead, and therefore, a thin cover attached to a tungsten weight is advantageous in that it can quickly move underwater and attract fish.

  In the weight cover described above, it is particularly preferable that a protrusion or a concave portion is formed on the inner side of the film (the inner surface of the hollow body) to form a space capable of accommodating the fish-collecting liquid emission substance between the sinker and the metal jig. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a protrusion 5 is formed on an inner surface, and a recess 6 is formed between the protrusions.

  If there are protrusions and recesses inside the weight cover as described above and a space can be formed between the weight and the weight (sinker or metal jig) to which it is attached, a fish-collecting substance that emits fish liquid That can emit and attract fish). Then, since the substance gradually diffuses from the above-mentioned opening or the like of the cover, the fish can be effectively attracted for a considerable period of time, and the fishing results can be improved.

  On the other hand, it is also preferable that a protrusion or a concave portion for forming a water flow in water by the movement of a sinker or a metal jig is formed on the outside of the coating.

If there is a protrusion or recess on the outside of the film used as the weight cover, and the weight (sinker or metal jig) can change the water flow when it moves in water, the cover is expected to enhance the fish collecting effect. Fish have the habit of being attracted to even small changes in water flow. If the weight changes in the water as the water flow changes, it can also attract fish.
The weight cover of the present invention is formed of a film having high elastic deformability, and the above-mentioned opening can be greatly enlarged. Therefore, it is not always necessary to form the above-mentioned projections and recesses outside the film. Appropriate protrusions or recesses are formed only on the inside (or only the outside) of the film, and if the cover is used by inverting the inside and the outside using the opening, the protrusions and the like can be removed. It is possible to select whether to accommodate the fish collection effluent substance toward the inside or to cause the water stream to cause the water stream toward the outside.

  It is preferable that the weight cover of the present invention cover the sinker (head part) of the snapper rubber. Specifically, the weight cover has another opening together with the above-mentioned opening, a pseudo bait member and a fishing hook can be attached to a snapper rubber sinker through one opening, and a fishing line can be attached to the sinker through the other opening. It should be able to pass through. FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which the weight cover (1) is placed on the sinker (11) of the snapper rubber.

Sea bream rubber (also known as sea bream kabura) is a lure suitable for catching sea bream. Many bream rubbers called floating (or sliding) rubbers have hooks that include rubber (what is called a skirt or tie), which is a fake bait member, in a hole provided in the head part (ie, sinker). The fishing line is connected using another hole so that the sets can be slidably mounted and connected to them. Because the snapper bites with interest in a fast-moving linear object, the snapper rubber is used by dropping it from the top of the boat to the seabed, then manipulating the fishing line to repeatedly pull up and drop.
If the weight cover has the above-mentioned opening and another opening, even if the cover of the snapper rubber is covered with the cover, a device including a simulated bait member and a needle is attached through the two openings, and another opening is provided. (Through holes) to connect the fishing line.
With the cover according to the invention, the surface of the sinker is widely and firmly covered, and it is difficult to come off, so that the coating of the sinker can be appropriately protected and the intensity of the metallic sound generated when the weight hits the rocks on the seabed is suppressed. . As described above, since the snapper rubber is used by moving it up and down, it often hits a rocky place on the seabed. Therefore, the above characteristics by the cover of the invention are extremely significant.
Tungsten may also be used as a snapper for snapper rubber. In such a case, the use of a thin one having a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm as described above can speed up the movement of the snapper rubber in the water, which is advantageous in improving the fishing results.

  The weight cover according to the invention has the same shape and size, and a plurality of colors, transparency, presence or absence of luminosity, or different thicknesses are set as a set to be selected and used. preferable.

When a weight cover with a prominent color is used over the weight, it is naturally expected that the weight cover will catch the eyes of the fish and produce a fish collecting effect. However, the same color does not always attract fish.
In this regard, if a plurality of different colors or the like are provided as a set as described above, an optional cover can be selected according to the fishing place, time zone, tide flow, and the like, and the weight can be covered. For example, in the evening or later, the use of a luminous cover often has a fish-collecting effect and raises the catch. Bringing a large number of weights with different colors and luminous properties to the fishing grounds is heavy and difficult, but if you bring a large number of types of covers and replace them with a small number of weights, you will bring and use a large number of weights. The same effect can be expected.

  The bream rubber according to the invention is characterized in that the weight cover having the above characteristics is detachably mounted on the outside of the sinker, and the false bait member and the fishing hook are attached to the sinker and the fishing line is connected to the sinker.

In such a sea bream rubber, the above-mentioned weight cover is detachably mounted on the outside of the sinker, covers the surface of the sinker widely and firmly, and is hard to come off the sinker. Therefore, despite the fact that the sinker often collides with rocks on the sea floor, the coating film of the sinker is appropriately protected, and the intensity of the metallic sound generated at the time of the collision is effectively suppressed.
In particular, when the snapper of the sea bream rubber is made of tungsten, since the specific gravity of the sinker is high, the movement is fast and the collision speed with rocks etc. is high, so the advantage of the invented weight cover being covered by the sinker is large. In the case of a sinker made of tungsten, the coating film on the surface is easily peeled off, which is also significant in that respect.

According to the weight cover of the invention, the fishing weight, that is, the sinker or the metal jig can be covered widely and firmly so as not to come off, based on the elasticity and the small opening of the film. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently protect the weight coating film and the like, and it is possible to reliably suppress the metallic sound when the weight hits a rock on the sea floor.
If the film constituting the weight cover is an elastomer, it has sufficient elastic deformability and good workability, coloring property, and the like. When the thickness is appropriate, the movement of the weight is not slowed down, and the property of reducing the impact is maintained.
When a projection or a concave portion is formed inside the film of the weight cover to form a space for accommodating the fish liquid dispersing substance between the weight and the weight, a substance that emits an odor can be put therein to enhance the fish collecting effect. In addition, when a projection or a recess that forms a water flow in water is formed on the outside of the coating, the effect of collecting fish can be enhanced thereby. If the inside and outside of the film can be reversed using the above-mentioned opening, each of the above uses can be selected.
If you make a set of multiple covers with different colors, transparency, luminosity or thickness, even if there are a few or few types of weights to bring to the fishing spot, place, time zone, tide flow etc. It is possible to perform the same preferable fishing as using the optimum weight according to the following.
When using the devised weight cover over the sinker of the snapper rubber, or when configuring the snapper rubber with the devised weight cover over the sinker, protect the sinker's paint film and collide with the rock. This is particularly significant in suppressing metallic sounds at times.

1A and 1B are diagrams illustrating an example of a weight cover according to the invention, wherein FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the weight cover 1 and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line bb in FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state where the weight cover 1 of FIG. 1 is put on a spherical sinker 11. It is sectional drawing which shows another example different from FIG. 1 about the weight cover by invention. It is a perspective view which shows about the snapper rubber 10 in the state which covered the sinker 11 with the weight cover 1 of this invention.

An embodiment of the weight cover according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b).
The weight cover 1 is a spherical hollow body 2 as shown in the figure, and is formed so as to be densely covered on the surface of various spherical or nearly spherical weights. The hollow body 2 is formed of a thermoplastic elastomer having a large elastic deformation ability, and the diameter of the sphere is about 20 mm and the thickness of the coating is about 1 mm.

  In the hollow body 2, an opening 3 having a diameter of about 5 mm is formed at the uppermost position in FIG. 1, and a through hole 4 having a diameter of about 2 mm is formed at a position near the lowermost part. It is necessary to connect a hook or a fishing line to the weight on which the cover 1 shown in the drawing is put. However, the opening 3 and the through hole 4 are previously formed so that they can be easily connected to the weight even after the cover 1 is attached. It was formed on the cover 1.

  The thermoplastic elastomer (for example, styrene-based) used as the material of the cover 1 has a high elastic deformation ability and a high expansion rate. Therefore, the diameter of the opening 3 can be increased to a maximum of about 40 mm (ie, about eight times the original size) by spreading the opening 3 with a finger or the like, so that the opening 3 is not broken or permanently deformed. Shrink and return to original. Since the opening 3 can be expanded in such a manner, the cover 1 can be smoothly covered on a weight having a size corresponding to about 20 to 30 mm in diameter and can be closely attached to the surface thereof. The weight to be covered with the cover 1 is not limited to a spherical shape, and can be densely covered with a weight having an elliptical spherical shape, a rod shape, or another shape.

  FIG. 2 shows an example in which the weight cover 1 of FIG. 1 is mounted on a spherical sinker (weight) 11. As described above, by spreading the opening 3 with a finger, expanding the opening to a size larger than the outer diameter of the sinker 11, and covering the sinker 11, the sinker 11 can be mounted so as to enclose the sinker 11 as illustrated. The sinker 11 is provided with a mounting opening 12 for attaching a fishing hook and the like, and an insertion opening 13 for passing a fishing line connected to the fishing hook and the like, so that the cover 1 is provided outside each of the mounting opening 12 and the insertion opening 13. The opening 3 and the through hole 4 are located. Since the cover 1 is easily elastically deformed, even when the positional relationship between the opening 3 and the through hole 4 does not match the positional relationship between the mounting port 12 and the insertion port 13 of the sinker 11, it is possible to adjust the position by appropriately expanding and contracting. it can.

It is also preferable to form a projection 5 on the inner surface of the hollow body 2 as in a weight cover 1 'shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 3, the protrusions 5 are formed in a streak shape so as to form the groove-shaped concave portions 6 therebetween, but other forms of protrusions and concave portions may be provided.
When the projections 5 and the like are formed on the inner surface, when the cover 1 'is put on the weight, a space is formed between the weight and the cover 1'. When such a substance is put in a sufficient amount, the fish collecting liquid gradually exudes into the water through the opening 3 from between the weight and the cover 1 ', and the fish collecting effect can be exerted for a long time.

  Since the opening 3 of the cover 1 ′ can be greatly enlarged as described above, the hollow body 2 may be inverted and used by using the opening 3. Since the protrusions 5 and the like are present on the outer surface of the cover 1 'put on the weight, the water flow can be slightly changed when the weight is moved underwater, and an effect of attracting and attracting fish can be expected. .

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the weight cover of the invention is used for a snapper rubber.
The snapper rubber 10 in FIG. 4 is a so-called floating type (sliding type), and as shown in the drawing, a joint fitting 21 in which a fishing hook 23 is attached to a mounting port 12 provided in a sinker 11 together with a pseudo bait member (rubber) 22. Is slidably inserted, and the fishing line 24 connected to the metal fitting 21 is taken out from another insertion opening 13. The cover 1 (or the cover 1 'in FIG. 3) is put on the sinker 11 of the snapper rubber 10 before connecting the metal fittings 21 and the fishing line 24 thereto, and the opening 3 and the through-hole are formed as in FIG. Each position of 4 is matched with the positions of the mounting port 12 and the insertion port 13.

As shown in FIG. 4, a snapper rubber 10 configured by covering the sinker 11 with the cover 1 and attaching a false bait member 22, a fishing hook 23, and a fishing line 24 via a metal fitting 21 is used as a mechanism suitable for catching a snapper. be able to. This is because, when the fishing line 24 is operated and quickly moved up and down in the sea, the interest of the snapper to the sinker 11 and the pseudo bait member 22 can be attracted.
As the cover 1 to be put on the sinker 11, if the sea bream is colored in such a manner that it is likely to be preferred, and the transparency and the presence or absence of the luminous pigment are prepared in many types, the place and time can be maintained while using the same sinker 11 and the like. The same fishing can be performed as when using different sinkers according to the band. In addition, the sinker 11 often hits the rocky bottom of the sea to quickly move up and down. However, when the cover 1 is put on the sinker 11, the metal sound at the time of collision is reduced and the fish is not surprised. The surface coating can be protected.

  If the sinker 11 of the sea bream rubber 10 is made of tungsten having a specific gravity greater than that of lead, it is possible to reduce the volume and increase the speed in the sea to improve the fishing results. At this time, since the resistance increases when the cover 1 is thick, it is preferable to use a thin cover 1 having a thickness of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm.
