Description

  The present invention relates to a lure used for fishing. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lure to which a water resistor such as a blade is attached.

  Lure fishing is popular as a means of capturing fish eaters that supplement small fish. In lure fishing, lure is used as a pseudo food. A metal jig which is a kind of lure is used. Fishing using this metal jig is called jigging. Metal jigs are used by sinking them to a target shelf in the sea. Known types of metal jigs include so-called tail spin jigs, spinner bait jigs, and the like. These jigs are disclosed in JP 2002-34393 A, JP 2002-360128 A, JP 2006-197903 A, and JP 2007-228951 A.

  These jigs have a body that mimics the shape of a small fish. The body has a blade that rotates and flutters under resistance from water. The blade has, for example, a shape such as an oval or a leaf. The blade is formed from a thin plate having a curved surface shape or a planar shape. The blade is attached to the rear end of the body by a split ring or a shaft formed from a metal wire. There is also known a jig in which a blade is attached to the tip of a shaft extending upward from the front end of the body. The body is provided with a hook eye and a line eye made of a metal wire. A hook is attached to the hook eye. A line is connected to the line eye.

  The blade is rotatable at an attachment portion to the body and the shaft. The shaft vibrates when a tail spin jig and a spinnerbait jig are swung under a line in the water. The blade rotates by receiving water resistance. Such movement of the blade contributes to the appeal of the jig to the fish eater. Fish Eta who misunderstood this jig as bait bites into the jig. The hook attached to the jig pierces the fish eater, and the fish eater is picked up.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a jig which is an embodiment of a lure according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a bottom view showing the positional relationship between the center of gravity position of the jig of FIG. 1 and the attachment position of the water resistor. FIG. 3 is a perspective view for explaining the behavior of the jig shown in FIG. 4A is a front view of the jig shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4B is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 4A.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with appropriate reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a metal jig (hereinafter simply referred to as a jig) 1 which is a kind of lure. The jig 1 has a body 2. The body 2 has an external shape similar to a small fish that is a bait. The surface of the body 2 may be colored. A pattern may be drawn on the surface of the body 2. The coloring and the pattern contribute to appeal to the fish eater. The left side in the figure is the head (head) 3 side (front), the right side is the tail (tail) 4 side (rear), the upper side is the back 5 side, and the lower side is the abdomen 6 side. Left and right body side parts 7 and 8 are formed between the back part 5 and the abdomen part 6. The body 2 has a flat shape in which the width in the vertical direction is larger than the thickness in the horizontal direction.

  A line eye 9 is provided at the front end of the body 2. A hook eye 10 is provided at the rear end of the body 2. A blade eye 11 is provided on the left body side portion 7 of the body 2. In the present invention, the blade eye 11 may be provided on the right body side portion 8. The line eye 9, the hook eye 10 and the blade eye 11 are all formed from metal wires. A line 12 is connected to the line eye 9 via a split ring 21. A hook 13 is attached to the hook eye 10 via a split ring 21. This hook 13 is a so-called treble hook. A blade 14 is rotatably attached to the blade eye 11.

  The portions of the body 2 excluding the eyes 9, 10, and 11 (referred to as fish portions) are usually manufactured by casting from a metal having a large specific gravity such as tungsten alloy or lead. When the fish body part is manufactured from a tungsten alloy, it is obtained by sintering a powdery material. Both the line eye 9 and the hook eye 10 are integrated with the fish body in the casting or sintering process. The blade eye 11 is fixed to the surface of the body 2 by brazing or the like.

  The blade 14 is formed in a leaf shape from a plate made of a thin metal, synthetic resin or the like. In the present invention, the blade 14 is not limited to a leaf shape, and may have any shape such as a disk shape or an oval shape. The blade 14 is attached to the blade eye 11 by a swivel (also referred to as a salcan) 15. The swivel 15 has a trunk portion 16, an upper ring 17, and a lower ring 18. The trunk | drum 16 is hollow. An upper front opening 19 is formed at the upper end of the body portion 16, and a lower front opening (not shown) is formed at the lower end. The inner diameter of the upper front opening 19 and the lower front opening is small. The upper ring 17 and the lower ring 18 are formed in a generally Ω shape from a metal wire. Respective base portions (not shown) of the upper ring 17 and the lower ring 18 are inserted into the body portion 16 through the upper front opening 19 and the lower front opening. Each base portion protrudes into the body portion 16 so that it cannot escape from the upper front opening 19 and the lower front opening. The upper ring 17 is connected to the through hole 20 of the blade 14, and the lower ring 18 is connected to the blade eye 11. The upper ring 17 and the lower ring 18 are rotatable about the central axis of the body part 16 with respect to the body part 16. as a result. The blade 14 is rotatable with respect to the body. The swivel 15 in the figure shows an example of a swivel mechanism. The swivel mechanism in the present invention is not limited to such a structure.

  FIG. 2 shows the positional relationship between the blade 14 and the center of gravity G of the jig 1 in the jig 1. In determining the center of gravity G, the weight of the hook 13 may be included or excluded. The attachment position of the blade 14 is between the head and tail in the longitudinal direction of the body 2. The total length of the body 2, that is, the distance from the front end of the line eye 9 to the rear end of the hook eye 10 is L1. The distance from the front end of the line eye 9 to the blade eye 11 is L2. The distance from the front end of the line eye 9 to the center of gravity G is L3. From the viewpoint of preferable behavior of the blade 14, L2 / L1 is preferably 0.5 or more, and L3 / L2 is preferably 1.0 or less. That is, it is preferable that the attachment position of the blade 14 is preferably at the position of the center of gravity G of the jig 1 or on the tail side in the longitudinal direction of the body 2. From the same viewpoint as described above, it is preferable that the attachment position of the blade 14 is further between the position 1/2 of the total length of the body 2 and the position 4/5 from the front end of the line eye 9. More preferably, it is between the position of 1/2 and the position of 3/4 of the total length.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the jig 1 as viewed obliquely from below. As shown in FIG. 3, the blade 14 is attached to the left body side portion 7 of the body 2 only by the swivel 15. A long member such as a shaft or Harris is not used to connect the blade 14 to the body 2. The blade 14 is close to the body 2. Therefore, the blade 2 is unlikely to interfere with the hook 13. When the jig 1 is settling, the line 12 and the blade 14 that are settling resistance are located on both sides of the center of gravity G in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the body 2 tries to approach a horizontal posture. In this state, the blade 14 can rotate and swing greatly. The jig 1 sinks if it receives water resistance on a slightly flat body side. Thus, the jig 1 sinks while trying to maintain a horizontal posture due to its weight balance. As a result, the body 2 repeatedly tilts back and forth due to the resistance of water. Operations such as rolling, pitching and yawing of this jig interfere with the rotation of the blade 14. As a result, the movement of the jig becomes irregular and complicated. The behavior of the jig 1 has a large appeal effect on the fish eater. The resistance from line 12 to jig 1 settling is less than the resistance due to blade 14. Therefore, the attachment position of the blade 14 is preferably close to the position of the center of gravity G.

  The number of blades 14 attached is not limited to one. In the present invention, two or more blades 14 may be attached to the body 2. A plurality of blades 14 may be attached to one blade eye 11.

  Instead of the blade 14, a propeller (not shown) may be attached to the body 2. The propeller has a boss portion located in the center and a plurality of thin wings extending radially from the boss portion. The propeller may be attached to the body 2 via a connecting member such as the swivel 15 shown in FIG. In this case, the upper ring of the swivel is connected to the boss portion of the propeller. The propeller may be attached to the body 2 by a short shaft. In this case, the shaft projects from one side of the body 2. A through hole is formed in the boss portion of the swivel. A shaft is inserted through the through hole. A stopper is fixed to the tip of the shaft, and the propeller cannot be detached from the shaft. The stopper may be detachable from the shaft. This shaft may be swingably attached to the body 2.

  The blade eye 11 may be formed integrally with the line eye 9 and / or the hook eye 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, one metal wire 22 is bent in three. A loop portion 9 a for the line eye 9 and a loop portion 10 a for the hook eye 10 are formed at two bending positions of the metal wire 22. A bent portion 11a for the blade eye 11 is formed on one of the straight portions 22a and 22b of the two ends of the metal wire 22 that are folded in three. Or you may form each part 9a, 10a, 11a in order (or order of 11a, 10a, 9a) simultaneously with the bending of the one metal wire 22. FIG. Each portion 9a, 10a, 11a of the metal wire 22 is arranged so as to protrude from the body 2 mold. A material such as molten lead or tungsten alloy powder is injected into the mold. These metal materials solidify in the mold and the jig is completed. The above procedure is an example.

  The attachment position of the blade 14 is not limited to the body side parts 7 and 8. The back 5 or the abdomen 6 may be used. However, from the viewpoint of appealing to the fish eater by acting on a small fish whose jig is weak, the blade 14 is preferably attached to either the left or right body side portion 7 or 8. This is because the jig 1 can take a sideways posture (see FIG. 3) like a weak small fish due to the resistance of water to the blade 14.

  According to the lure according to the present invention, appeal to the fish eater by a water resistor such as a blade or a propeller is improved. Therefore, this lure is suitable for jigging which is fishing using a metal jig, for example.
