Description

  The present invention relates to a lure used for fishing.

  In recent years, lure fishing using lures has become widespread. The target to be caught by lure fishing is a large fish (fish eater) that mainly eats small fish. The lure flies through the air by casting and eventually lands. The lure swims underwater by the line being wound. Fish eaters bite this lure. The hook attached to the lure pierces the fish eater and the fish eater is caught. A lure that achieves an underwater posture and action that induces misunderstanding of a fish eater is preferable.

  JP-A-2001-204301 and JP-A-2007-049945 disclose lures provided with a propeller-type rotating body. The rotating body is rotatably mounted on a shaft inserted into the rear end of the body of the lure. This lure attracts the interest of the fish eater due to the sound of the rotating body when the line is drawn, the water flow generated by the rotation of the rotating body, and the like. Further, the body migrates irregularly due to the resistance of the water received by the body and the resistance of the water received by the rotating body. This lure movement attracts fish eaters.

FIG. 4 is a partially sectional plan view showing a body before assembling the lure of FIG. FIG. 5 is a rear view showing the propeller of the lure of FIG. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a lure according to another embodiment of the present invention.

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

  The lure 2 shown in FIG. 1 includes a body 4, a lip 6, a shaft 8 for a rotating body, a rotating body 10, a sound plate 12, a line eye 14, and a hook eye 16. A line 18 is connected to the line eye 14. The line eye 14 is generally located on the center axis CL (FIG. 3) in the front-rear direction of the body 4 in a plan view. A hook 20 is attached to each hook eye 16. The body 4 has an outer shape similar to a small fish that is a bait. The body 4 has a front head 22 and a rear tail 24. The left side in the figure is the head 22 side (front), the right side is the tail 24 side (rear), the upper side is the back 26 side, and the lower side is the abdomen 28 side. The lip 6 is provided on the head 22 side of the body 4 and on the abdomen 28 side in a direction inclined forward from below.

  Typically, body 4 is formed from a synthetic resin. Preferred synthetic resins are ABS resins. The body 4 may be formed from a metal material or a woody material. The line eye 14 and the hook eye 16 are formed by bending a metal wire. A typical material of the metal wire is stainless steel.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the body 4 is hollow. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, typically, the body 4 is formed by joining symmetrical left body pieces 4L and right body pieces 4R in a superposed state. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a mounting hole 32 for mounting the shaft portion 8 is formed in the tail 24 of the body 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, in the present embodiment, a propeller 10 is employed as the rotating body 10. The propeller 10 is formed from a metal plate. A typical material of the metal plate is stainless steel. The shaft 8 is inserted and fixed in the mounting hole 32. The shaft 8 protrudes rearward from the rear end of the tail 24. The propeller 10 is rotatable by loosely fitting the shaft portion 8. The propeller 10 is also movable in a direction along the longitudinal direction of the shaft 8. A ring portion 8a is formed at the rear end of the shaft portion 8. A sound plate 12 is suspended from the ring portion 8a in a movable state. The sound plate 12 collides with the rotating propeller 10 and emits a sound that is interesting to the fish eater. The sounding plate 12 is formed from a metal plate. A typical material of the metal plate is stainless steel. If necessary, a hook or the like may be attached instead of the sounding plate 12. An annular spacer 30 is fitted behind the propeller 10 on the shaft portion 8. The spacer 30 is for preventing the smooth rotation of the propeller 10 from being hindered by the interference with the ring portion 8a.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the propeller 10 includes a pair of wings 10a, a center 10b, and an insertion hole 10c. The pair of wings 10a are point-symmetric with respect to the center 10b. The insertion hole 10c is formed at the center of the central portion 10b. As a result, the central portion 10b has a ring shape. The shaft portion 8 is inserted through the insertion hole 10c. When the line 18 is drawn and the lure 2 moves forward in the water or on the water surface, the water flows backward relative to the lure 2. This is called a water flow. When the lure 2 moves forward in the water or on the water surface, the propeller 10 receives resistance from the water flow. The propeller 10 is rotated around the shaft 8 by the resistance force from the water flow. The sound of the rotation of the propeller 10, the water flow generated by the rotation of the propeller 10, and the like attract the interest of the fish eater. The body 4 migrates irregularly due to the resistance of water to the propeller 10. The movement of the lure 2 attracts the interest of the fish eater.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the propeller 10 is formed so as to receive clockwise water and rotate clockwise. Specifically, each blade 10a has a surface slightly inclined from a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the central portion 10b around a radius line of the central portion 10b. Due to this shape of each blade 10a, the force from the backward water flow received by propeller 10 includes a backward component along the central axis of central portion 10b and a component for rotating clockwise. It is not limited to such a configuration. A propeller that rotates counterclockwise due to backward water flow may also be employed. FIG. 5A illustrates the propeller 10 as viewed from behind the lure 2 (rear view). Here, the rotation direction of the propeller 10 is a direction when viewed from behind.

  As described above, in a lure with a propeller, the straight running stability of the body may be hindered by the resistance of water received by the propeller. With reference to FIG. 5, consider the resistance of the water received by the propeller. The lure 2 migrates with the back 26 up and the abdomen 28 down. Since various kinds of eyes 14, 16 and hooks 20 are mounted on the abdomen 28 of the body 4, it is easy to take such a posture. In a lure that migrates on the water surface in this posture, the lower half of the propeller 10 is often immersed in the water W and the upper half of the propeller 10 is exposed in the air, as shown in FIG. In this case, the lower half of the propeller 10 receives the resistance (reaction force) from the water flow, and the upper half of the propeller 10 does not receive the resistance. In this case, most of the resistance force applied to the lower half of the propeller 10 is a backward component along the central axis CL of the body 4 and a clockwise component around the shaft 8. This clockwise component of the resistance forces the propeller 10 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise component of this resistance also has the effect of pushing the propeller laterally. In the present embodiment, the horizontal direction is leftward when viewed from behind in plan view, as shown in FIG. This leftward resistance component applies a moment to the lure 2 to rotate clockwise around the line eye 14 in plan view. As shown in FIG. 5B, the leftward resistance component (clockwise moment in plan view) becomes maximum when the blade 10a faces downward, and becomes minimum when the blade 10a faces sideways (leftward or rightward). Becomes Although the curve indicating the magnitude of the leftward component of the resistance in FIG. 5B is not accurate, it is sufficient to express the relationship between the position of the blade 10a and the magnitude of the resistance. As shown in FIG. 5B, there is a difference in rotation angle of the propeller 10 of about 90 ° between when the blade 10a faces downward and when it faces sideways. This leftward resistance to the propeller 10 can be a force that pushes the tail 24 of the lure 2 leftward via the shaft 8. When the tail 24 is pushed to the left, the body 4 tries to rotate clockwise in plan view. The present inventors have considered that the above-described events may be one of the factors that hinder the straight running stability of the lure 2. That is, when the lure 2 is repeatedly pushed to the left by the tail 24, there is a possibility that the straight running stability may be impaired. On the other hand, the tail 24 is repeatedly pushed up and down by the resistance to the propeller 10. However, the vertical movement of the tail 24 is less likely to hinder the straight running stability of the lure 2.

  Based on the above consideration, the lure 2 has a configuration for canceling the force pushing the tail 24 to the left. It is as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting hole 32 for the shaft portion 8 is formed in a direction inclined rightward toward the front in a plan view. The shaft portion 8 is inserted into the mounting hole 32 from behind. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, in the lure 2, when viewed from behind in plan view, the shaft 8 protrudes in a direction inclined leftward from the front-rear center axis CL of the body 4. I have. The center position of the central portion 10b of the propeller 10 is shifted leftward from the center axis CL of the body 4 in the front-rear direction. That is, the propeller 10 is located at a position shifted leftward from the center axis CL in the front-rear direction of the body 4 when viewed from behind. As a result, a backward resistance component to the propeller 10 along the front-rear direction center axis CL of the body 4 applies a moment to the lure 2 to rotate the lure 2 counterclockwise around the line eye 14 in plan view. In other words, the moment due to the backward component of the resistance pushes the tail 24 rightward. By this moment, the above-described resistance force for pushing the tail 24 to the left, that is, the moment for rotating the body 4 clockwise can be offset. There may be other factors that hinder the straight running stability of the lure. However, when the lure 2 according to this embodiment was actually pulled near the water surface, it was proved that the straight running was stabilized. In the lure 2, the leftward tilt angle θ of the shaft portion 8 with respect to the center axis CL in the front-rear direction of the body 4, which is shown in a plan view in FIG. 3, is set in a range of 2 ° to 6 °.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, when the lure 2 is viewed from the tail 24 side toward the head 22 side in plan view, the shaft 8 is inclined leftward, and the center of the propeller 10 is Is located to the left of the center axis CL in the front-rear direction. This is because the propeller 10 is configured to rotate clockwise when viewed from behind. When the propeller has a shape that rotates counterclockwise when viewed from behind, the shaft is protruded so as to be inclined rightward from the center axis CL of the body. The propeller 10 is located to the right of the center axis CL in the front-rear direction of the body. As described above, the terms "left" and "right" used herein mean that the lure 2 has its back 26 up and its abdomen 28 down, as viewed from behind, and This is the direction as viewed from the tail 24 side facing the head 22 side ahead.

  FIG. 6 shows another lure 42. The luer 42 differs from the lure 2 shown in FIG. 1 in the mounting position and mounting direction of the shaft portion 46. The other configuration of the lure 42 is substantially the same as the configuration of the lure 2 shown in FIG. The members having the same configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the lure 2 of FIG. 1, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  Also in this lure 42, a propeller 10 having the same configuration as the propeller 10 of the lure 2 in FIG. 1 is used. That is, the propeller 10 formed to rotate clockwise in response to a backward water flow is mounted on the tail 48 of the lure 42. Therefore, a resistance component leftward from the water flow is applied to the tail 48 of the lure 42 migrating near the water surface. Due to this resistance component, a clockwise moment is applied to the lure 42 about the line eye 14 in plan view. Therefore, the lure 42 is also provided with a configuration capable of canceling the clockwise moment from the water flow. It is as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the shaft portion 46 of the lure 42 is parallel to the front-rear direction center axis CL of the body 44 in a plan view, and when the head 50 side is viewed from the tail 48 side, the center axis It is separated to the left from CL. As a result, the propeller 10 is at a position displaced leftward from the center axis CL of the body 44 in the front-rear direction when viewed from behind.

  In the lure 42, a backward resistance component along the front-rear center axis CL of the body 44 against the propeller 10 pushes the tail 48 to the right. In other words, the backward component of the resistance applies a moment to the lure 42 to rotate the lure 42 counterclockwise around the line eye 14 in plan view. With this moment, the above-described resistance force for pushing the tail 48 to the left, that is, the moment for rotating the body 44 clockwise can be offset.

  Unlike the lure 42, when the propeller is shaped to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from behind when receiving a backward water flow, the mounting position of the shaft is determined by the lure. The position is opposite to the position of the shaft portion 46 of 42. That is, the shaft portion is parallel to the center axis CL in the front-rear direction of the body, but is located at a position away from the center axis CL to the right when viewed from the tail side in the plan view.

  The lure according to the present invention is suitable for fishing in various fields such as lakes, ponds, dams, rivers, and the sea.
