  By the way, one of the actions of lures is dirt. Dirt is an action in which the lure moves irregularly from side to side in the water, and is caused by rod work such as jerking that greatly lifts the rod and twitching that moves the tip of the rod back and forth in small increments. In steady retrieve where the reel is wound at a constant speed, the lure moves linearly in the direction in which the line is drawn. In this case, the fish follows the advancing lure from behind and bites into the body of the lure from the rear. On the other hand, in the dirt, since the direction of the lure changes abruptly, the fish reacts before and after this change and often eats from the head side of the lure. In the conventional jig head as described above, a fishing hook is provided on a soft lure, that is, a body portion of the lure. In addition, the tip of the fishhook faces forward. Such a configuration is suitable for hooking fish that has been eaten into the body of the lure from the rear side, but is not suitable for hooking fish that has been bitten on the head of the lure. For this reason, in the case of a conventional jig head, there are many cases where the hook is not sufficient in the case of dirt, and even if there is a hit, the fish does not hook on the needle. In addition, even if a fish is caught on a needle, there is a problem that the catch is shallow and frequent occurrences occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a jig head capable of improving the needle hook in the case of a dart as compared with the prior art.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a jig head according to one aspect of the present invention includes a metal head, a mounting portion protruding from the head and mounting a soft lure, and a fishing hook provided on the head. The fishhook portion has a string portion extending from the head, and a fishhook attached to the tip of the string portion, and the length of the string portion is determined by the tip of the fishhook being the mounting portion. It is set not to reach the tip of the.

  In this aspect, the string portion may extend from a side opposite to the mounting portion of the head.

  In the above aspect, the head has a through hole penetrating from the mounting portion side to the opposite side, and the string portion extends from the mounting portion side of the head through the through hole. The base end may be locked on the mounting portion side of the head.

  In the above aspect, the base of the string portion may be locked to the mounting portion.

  In the above aspect, the jig head may not be provided with a fishing hook in the mounting portion.

  In the above aspect, the mounting portion may have a bar shape extending linearly from the head.

  In the above aspect, the mounting portion may have a convex portion on a side surface thereof.

  In the above aspect, the mounting portion may have a linear needle portion on the tip side.

  In the above aspect, the mounting portion may have a tapered portion that narrows toward the tip.

  In the above aspect, the length of the string portion may be set so that the tip of the fishing hook does not reach the end of the head on the mounting portion side.

  In the above aspect, the thickness of the mounting portion may be not less than 1/5 and not more than 1/2 of the thickness of the head.

  In the above aspect, the length of the mounting portion may be not more than the length of the head and may be not less than 1/3 of the length of the head.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a jig head according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side view thereof. In the figure, directions are indicated by arrows. The traveling direction of the jig head with the soft lure attached in water is defined as “front”, and the direction opposite to the traveling direction is defined as “rear”. Further, the top side of the jig head (the back side of the lure) is referred to as “upper side”, and the jaw side of the jig head (the ventral side of the lure) is referred to as “lower side”. Also, the right side in the direction of travel of the jig head is “right side” and the left side is “left side”.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the jig head 1 includes a head 2, a mounting portion 3, and a fishhook portion 4.

  The head 2 is made of a metal such as lead, tungsten, or tin, and functions as a weight. The head 2 has a substantially conical shape or a bullet shape with a sharp front side. Thus, the shape of the head 2 having a sharp tip is likely to change the traveling direction of the jig head according to the jerking or twitching rodwork. For this reason, a dart action can be easily produced by the said shape.

  Further, the left and right sides of the upper side of the head 2 are recessed, and a plate-like portion 21 that rises long in the front-rear direction is formed between both recesses. By providing the plate-like portion 21, the straightness of the jig head 1 in water is improved.

  The shape of the head 2 is not limited to the above. For example, the left and right depressions on the upper side of the head 2 may not be provided. Further, it may be a pyramid shape, a spherical shape, a shape imitating a fish head, or the like.

  A line eye 22 is provided at the upper end of the plate-like portion 21 so as to protrude upward. The line eye 22 is a metal ring-shaped member for connecting the lines.

  Next, the mounting part 3 will be described. The rear end of the head 2 is a mounting surface 23 that is a vertical surface, and the mounting portion 3 extends from the center of the mounting surface 23 to the rear. The mounting portion 3 has a bar shape with a circular cross section extending linearly in the front-rear direction, and ring-shaped convex portions 31 are provided at a plurality of locations in the front-rear direction. Further, a tapered portion 32 is formed on the tip side of the mounting portion 3 so as to become thinner toward the rear. Further, a linear needle portion 33 extends backward from the tip of the tapered portion 32. The needle portion 33 is made of a material having high hardness such as stainless steel. The other part of the mounting portion 3 is made of the same material as the head 2 and is integrally formed with the head 2 by casting.

  4 is a perspective view showing the jig head 1 when a soft lure is attached, FIG. 5 is a plan sectional view thereof, and FIG. 6 is a side sectional view thereof. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the user attaches the soft lure 5 to the jig head 1 by inserting the attachment portion 3 into the front end of the soft lure 5 that is long in the front-rear direction. The soft lure 5 is mounted on the jig head 1 such that the front end surface of the soft lure 5 is in close contact with the mounting surface 23 or is opposed with some space. The soft lure is made of a soft material such as soft synthetic resin or natural rubber, which is formed into a long and thin shape simulating a trunk such as a fish or annelid (worm, earthworm, etc.). Soft lures that mimic non-elongated animals such as crayfish, shrimp, and frogs can be used, but the slender shape is more likely to perform a dirt action.

  When mounting the soft lure 5 on the jig head 1, the user inserts the mounting portion 3 from the front end surface of the soft lure 5. At this time, since the thin needle portion 33 is provided at the tip of the mounting portion 3, a small hole (a tear) can be formed in the front end surface of the soft lure 5 by piercing the soft lure 5. When the mounting portion 3 is inserted further deeply into the soft lure 5, the tapered portion 32 pushes out the small hole. Since the tip of the tapered portion 32 is thin, it can be inserted into the small hole without difficulty. The mounting of the soft lure 5 is completed by inserting the entire mounting portion 3 into the soft lure 5.

  As described above, since the mounting portion 3 has a bar shape extending linearly, the user can easily mount the soft lure 5 on the jig head 1 by simply inserting the mounting portion 3 straight into the soft lure 5. Moreover, since the convex part 31 is provided in the side surface of the mounting part 3, the soft lure 5 is latched by this convex part 31, and it can prevent that the soft lure 5 falls from the mounting part 3. FIG.

  Moreover, when the mounting part 3 is too thin, the force which latches the soft lure 5 will be weak, and the soft lure 5 will fall off easily. For this reason, it is preferable that the mounting part 3 has a certain thickness. When the mounting portion 3 has a sufficient thickness, the mounted soft lure 5 holds the mounting portion 3 so as to be tightened by its elasticity, and is locked by a sufficient force. On the other hand, if the mounting portion 3 is too thick, it is not easy to mount the soft lure 5. Therefore, the thickness of the mounting portion 3 is determined in consideration of the force for locking the soft lure 5 and the mounting property of the soft lure 5. From this viewpoint, the thickness of the mounting portion 3 (height of the thickest portion) is preferably 1/5 or more and 1/2 or less of the thickness of the head 2 (height of the thickest portion). More preferably, it is 4 or more and 1/2 or less.

  FIG. 7 is a plan view for explaining the movable range of the soft lure 5 attached to the jig head 1 according to the present embodiment. The range where the front mounting portion 3 of the soft lure 5 is inserted is not deformed. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, in the soft lure 5, a portion on the rear side of the mounting portion 3 becomes a movable range. Thus, the movable range of the soft lure 5 is determined according to the length of the mounting portion 3.

  The soft lure 5 allows a natural action similar to a fish or the like as the range of motion is larger. For this reason, it is preferable that the length of the mounting portion 3 is short. On the other hand, if the length of the mounting portion 3 is too short, the soft lure 5 cannot be locked with a sufficient force, and the soft lure 5 easily falls off. Therefore, the length of the mounting portion 3 is determined in consideration of the movable range of the soft lure 5 and the force for locking the soft lure 5. From this viewpoint, the length of the mounting portion 3 is preferably equal to or shorter than the length of the head 2 and equal to or longer than 1/3 of the length of the head 2.

  The fishing hook portion 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 again. The fishhook portion 4 includes a string portion 41 and a fishhook 42. The string portion 41 is a knitted yarn made of aramid fiber or the like, and extends from the front end of the head 2. That is, the fishhook portion 4 is provided on the side opposite to the mounting portion 3 of the head 2. More specifically, the string portion 41 is fixed to the head 2 by the base end portion of the string portion 41 being embedded in the head 2. This is because when the head 2 is cast, the molten metal is poured into the mold in a state where a part of the base end side of the string portion 41 (hereinafter referred to as “embedded portion”) is placed in the mold, and the head is cooled. This can be realized by solidifying. The embedding part is provided with a knot or a small piece of metal is attached by caulking. Thus, by providing a portion larger than the thickness of the string in the embedded portion and casting the embedded portion integrally with the head 2, the string portion 41 can be prevented from coming off from the head 2.

  The fishing hook 42 is a single hook formed by bending a single metal linear member into a J shape. The tip of the string portion 41 is bound to the shaft portion of the fishing hook 42, whereby the fishing hook 42 is connected to the head 2. Since the string portion 41 is flexible, the fishing hook 42 can freely move with respect to the head 2 within a range defined by the length of the string portion 41.

  Here, the length of the string portion 41 is preferably set so that the tip of the fishing hook 42 does not reach the front end (rear end) of the mounting portion 3. FIG. 8 is a side view for explaining the length of each part in the jig head according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the distance L1 between the base end of the cord portion 41 (the tip of the head 2) and the tip of the fishing hook 42 is set to be greater than the distance L2 between the base end of the cord portion 41 and the tip of the mounting portion 3. Is shortened, the tip of the fishing hook 42 does not reach the tip of the mounting portion 3. The distance L1 referred to here is the distance when the base end of the string portion 41 and the tip of the fishhook portion 42 are positioned on a straight line extending in the front-rear direction with the string portion 41 extending without slack. is there.

  As described above, the soft lure 5 attached to the jig head 1 can be deformed at the rear portion of the attachment portion 3. For this reason, if the tip of the fishing hook 42 can move to the rear of the mounting portion 3, it may pierce the movable range of the soft lure 5 and impede the operation of the soft lure 5. By setting the distance L <b> 1 as described above, the tip of the fishing hook 42 does not move backward from the mounting portion 3, and the operation of the soft lure 5 is not hindered.

  Further, when the tip of the fishhook 42 reaches the soft lure 5, the fishhook 42 may pierce the soft lure 5. In the state where the fishhook 42 is stuck into the soft lure 5, even if the fish eats, the fishhook 42 cannot be hung on the fish. For this reason, it is more preferable to set the length of the string portion 41 so that the tip of the fishing hook 42 does not reach the rear end of the head 2. By doing so, the tip of the fishing hook 42 does not reach the soft lure 5. In this embodiment, if the distance L1 is shorter than the length of the head 2 in the front-rear direction (the distance between the base end of the string portion 41 and the base end of the mounting portion 3) L3, the tip of the fishing hook 42 is It cannot move to the rear of the rear end of the head 2 and does not reach the soft lure 5.

  When using such a jig head 1, the user casts the soft lure 5 attached to the jig head 1 into the water and operates the rod so as to cause a dirt action. When a dirt occurs, the fish is stimulated by this movement before and after the change in the direction of travel of the lure, and bites the lure head side (jig head 1). Since the jig head 1 is provided with the fishhook portion 4 at the front end of the head 2, it is easy for fish caught on the head of the lure to swallow the fishhook 42. In addition, since the fishhook portion 4 is provided with a string portion 41 and the fishhook 42 can move within a range defined by the length of the string portion 41, not only when the fish bites into the lure from the front side, It is easy for a fish to swallow the fishhook 42 even when eating from the bottom or side of the lure head. For this reason, the needle hook is improved.

(Embodiment 2)
9 is a plan view showing the configuration of the jig head according to the second embodiment, FIG. 10 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 11 is a side sectional view thereof. The head 220 of the jig head 201 according to the present embodiment is provided with a linear through hole 221 that penetrates from the front side to the rear side. The through hole 221 has a thickness that allows the string portion 241 to pass therethrough. The opening on the rear side of the through hole 221 is provided below the mounting portion 3 on the mounting surface 23.

  The string portion 241 is a knitted yarn made of aramid fibers, that is, a multifilament yarn. The string portion 41 may be a multifilament yarn in which fibers other than an aramid fiber such as polyethylene fiber are knitted, or may be a monofilament yarn made of nylon, fluorocarbon, polyester, or the like. The string portion 241 is formed in an annular shape by binding both ends of one string to the fishing hook 42. The string portion 241 is passed through the through hole 221, and a base end (an end opposite to the fishing hook 42) 242 extends from the mounting surface 23 of the head 220. The base end 242 of the string portion 241 is locked to the attachment portion 3 so that the annular string portion 241 is hung on the attachment portion 3. Thereby, it is prevented that the string part 241 falls out forward. Further, since it is not necessary to embed the string portion 241 when casting the head 220, the manufacturing work is reduced, and the string portion 241 is not damaged or burnt out by heat. For this reason, a thread made of a material having low heat resistance such as nylon can be used for the string portion 241. By simply passing the string portion 241 through the through hole 221 of the manufactured head 220 and hooking the base end 242 of the string portion 241 on the mounting portion 3, the fishing hook portion 240 can be easily mounted on the head 220.

  Since the other configuration of the jig head 201 according to the present embodiment is the same as the configuration of the jig head 1 according to the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described first and second embodiments, the fishing hook 42 is a single hook, but is not limited to this. It is good also as a fishing hook of the structure to which the shaft part of two or more fishhooks was connected, such as the double hook which the shaft part of two fishhooks curved in J shape was connected, and the treble hook to which the shaft part of three fishhooks was joined.

  In the first and second embodiments, the configuration in which the mounting portion 3 extending linearly is provided on the rear side of the heads 2 and 220 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A fishing hook curved in a J shape may be provided at the rear of the heads 2 and 220, and this may be used as a mounting portion.

  In the first and second embodiments, the configuration in which the cross-sectional shape of the mounting portion 3 is circular has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting portion 3 may be a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrangle.

  In the second embodiment, the configuration in which the base end 242 of the cord portion 241 is locked on the rear side of the head 220 by hanging the annular cord portion 241 on the mounting portion 3 has been described. It is not limited. FIG. 12 is a side cross-sectional view of a jig head for explaining another example of the string portion locking structure. By making the base end of a string part larger than the thickness of a through-hole, it can also be set as the structure which latches the base end of a string part in the back side of a head. In the example shown in FIG. 12, a locking piece 343 is fixed to the proximal end of the string portion 341. The size of the locking piece 343 is larger than the thickness of the through hole 221, and the locking piece 343 does not pass through the through hole 221. Moreover, it can replace with the latching piece 343 and can provide a knot in the base end of the string part 341. FIG.

  The jig head of the present invention is useful as a jig head for mounting a soft lure made of a soft material.
