Description

  The present invention relates to a container that accommodates fishing bait, and more particularly to a structure of a container that is employed when a shrimp or other fishing bait is packed as a product.

  For example, krill and shrimp are known as the most popular baits. In particular, the shrimp is widely used as a stab food targeting small fish and as a bait targeting large fish. Common shrimp are generally salted and marketed. The shrimp that has undergone such processing is referred to as salt mami. On the other hand, a shrimp that has not been subjected to salting is referred to as a raw shrimp.

  By the way, salt-amid has the advantage that it can be stored for a long time without the need for freezing, and the angler can use it immediately after opening it at the fishing spot. Many anglers feel. In addition, fishermen's experience is that the target of eating fish is better than raw fish. For this reason, raw trout is more valuable as a product, and demand for anglers is greater. However, in order to produce raw green oysters as commodities, the fried shrimp must be sealed and quickly frozen in a required container, and thus a container that can withstand such processing is required (for example, Non-patent document 1).
