Description

The present invention relates to a blade for a lure. The present invention also relates to lures equipped with this blade, especially spinner baits.

Conventionally, lures called spinner baits have been used in fields such as bass fishing. A spinnerbait is a lure with a blade, a fish-like head, and a skirt on the back. When the spinnerbait is pulled in water, the stream of water causes the blades to rotate, which causes the reflection and vibration of light to attract fish.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of a conventional lure blade. FIG. 4 is a side view of the spinnerbait according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a side view of the spinnerbait according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a side view of the spinnerbait according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a lure blade according to one aspect of the present invention will be described. When the drawings are referred to, the same reference numerals are given to the components exhibiting the same or similar functions, and duplicate description will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a lure blade according to an embodiment of the present invention. The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 1 is typically made of metal and has a triangular mounting hole H at the front. The lure blade 10 typically plays a role of attracting fish by rotating with a stream of water and the resulting reflection and vibration of light.

The lure blade 10 shown in FIG. 1A has an elliptical shape called a willow type. The lure blade 10 shown in FIG. 1B has a teardrop shape called a Colorado type. In addition, as an intermediate shape between the two, there is also a shape called the Indiana type. The shape of the lure blade 10 is not particularly limited, and shapes other than these can be appropriately used.

In the lure blade 10 shown in FIG. 1, a scale-shaped pattern is drawn on the main body. The presence of such a pattern improves the effect of attracting fish. However, the lure blade 10 does not need to be provided with a scale-shaped pattern, and may or may not be provided with another type of pattern.

The luer blade 10 according to the present invention includes a mounting hole H having a single fulcrum.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the lure blade shown in FIG. 1 and a modified example thereof. FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of a conventional lure blade. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the fulcrum F of the lure blade 10 is virtually drawn as a bullet.

The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 2A is provided with a triangular mounting hole H and has a single fulcrum F. The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 2B is provided with a square mounting hole H and has a single fulcrum F. The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 2 (c) has a pentagonal mounting hole H and has a single fulcrum F. The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 2 (d) has a hexagonal mounting hole H and has a single fulcrum F. The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 2 (e) has an elliptical mounting hole H and has a single fulcrum F.

On the other hand, the luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 3A has a circular mounting hole H and does not have a clear fulcrum. That is, the lure blade 10 shown in FIG. 3A has 0 (or infinite) fulcrums. The luer blade 10 shown in FIG. 3B is provided with a substantially semicircular mounting hole H, and has two fulcrum points F.

The present inventor adopts a mounting hole that does not have a clear fulcrum or has two or more fulcrums, such as a conventional lure blade, because the fulcrum is ambiguous. It was found that the rotation of the blade due to the water flow may not be smooth. Therefore, the present inventor adopts a mounting hole H having a single fulcrum F in the lure blade 10, so that the blade rotates smoothly due to the above-mentioned water flow and the effect of attracting fish is improved. I found. That is, the present inventor has found that a lure blade having excellent rotational performance can be provided by providing a mounting hole H having a single fulcrum.

The fulcrum F of the mounting hole H is typically the apex of an angle of less than 180 °. When such a configuration is adopted, the fulcrum F is determined more clearly, so that the rotation of the blade becomes smoother. For example, when the apex of the polygon is set as the fulcrum F as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D, the intersection with the long axis of the ellipse is set as the fulcrum F as shown in FIG. 2E. In comparison, it is possible to make the rotation of the blade smoother.

The fulcrum F of the mounting hole H is preferably the apex of an angle of 90 ° or less. When such a configuration is adopted, the fulcrum F is determined more clearly, so that the rotation of the blade becomes smoother. For example, if the vertices of an equilateral triangle or a regular quadrangle are set as the fulcrum F as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the vertices of a regular pentagon or a regular hexagon are shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d). It is possible to make the rotation of the blade smoother as compared with the case where is set as the fulcrum F. Even if the mounting hole H is a pentagon or more polygon, it can be included in this embodiment as long as the angle of the apex serving as the fulcrum F is 90 ° or less.

The mounting hole H has, for example, a polygonal shape or an elliptical shape, preferably a polygonal shape. When the mounting hole H has a polygonal shape, the mounting hole H may have a regular polygonal shape and may not have a regular polygonal shape. The mounting hole H is more preferably triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, or hexagonal, and particularly preferably triangular.

The mounting hole H is preferably axisymmetric with respect to the long axis (rotational axis) of the luer blade. Such a configuration can be achieved, for example, by forming the mounting hole H in an isosceles triangle shape and using its apex angle as a fulcrum F. Alternatively, it can be achieved by forming the mounting hole H into a rhombus shape and using one of the acute-angled portions as a fulcrum F. When such a configuration is adopted, the weight of the lure blade is also axisymmetric, so that the rotation of the blade can be made smoother.

Here, the “corner” is not limited to a corner in a strict sense, but may be rounded as shown in FIG. The same applies to the angular vertices of a "polygon".

The lure blade 10 can be used as part of a lure. Examples of such lures include spinner baits.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the spinnerbait according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a side view of the spinnerbait according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a side view of the spinnerbait according to another embodiment of the present invention. The spinner baits shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 include one or more lure blades.

As described above, the luer blade 10 includes a mounting hole having a single fulcrum. As a result, the rotation of the blade 10 due to the water flow becomes smooth when the spinnerbait 100 is used, and the performance of the spinnerbait 100 is improved.

The head portion 20 includes a head 22, a fishing hook 24, and a skirt 26. The configuration of the head portion 20 is not particularly limited.

The arm 30 typically has a dogleg shape and is provided with luer blades 10 and heads 20 at both ends. The configuration of the arm 30 is not particularly limited.

The hook 40 is typically a swivel, preferably a ball bearing swivel, interposed between the luer blade 10 and the arm 30. The hook 40 is connected to the mounting hole H of the lure blade 10 so as to come into contact with the fulcrum F of the lure blade 10. The configuration of the hook 40 is not particularly limited. The hook 40 may be omitted. That is, the lure blade 10 may be directly connected to one end of the arm 30.

The spinnerbait 100 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 has been described with reference to FIG. 4, except that it includes a plurality of lure blades 10A and 10B, and a plurality of hooks 40A and 40B corresponding to each.
