However, in the caudal fin member of Patent Document 1, there is a risk that the caudal fin member will be damaged when a fish attacks the lure. Specifically, the fish may bite into the caudal fin member when attacking the lure, and the caudal fin member made of a soft synthetic resin may be torn off and damaged.

Further, in Patent Document 1, although the caudal fin member is formed of a soft synthetic resin to facilitate swinging, the caudal fin member is simply an elongated plate extending rearward from the tail of a fish-shaped body and is in water. Therefore, it is difficult to cause the caudal fin member to flicker naturally. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the target fish of the fish-shaped lure will feel uncomfortable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure capable of suppressing damage when the target fish eats and reducing discomfort given to the target fish, and a fish-shaped lure provided with the caudal fin member. is there.

The caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure according to the present invention is a caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure attached to the tail of the lure body of the fish-shaped lure, and a plurality of linearly extending fibrous bodies are formed in the height direction of the lure body. A fin body that is bundled in a dense state in the corresponding height direction and the width direction corresponding to the body width direction of the lure body and has a flat shape having a larger dimension in the height direction than the width direction as a whole. A holding member that holds the front part of the fin body from its surroundings so that the fin body projects rearward from the tail and the height direction of the fin body coincides with the height direction of the lure body. The holding member comprises a holding member to be coupled to the tail, and the holding member has a pair of inner surfaces located on both sides of the front portion of the fin body in the width direction and includes the pair of inner surfaces of the fin body. By arranging a plurality of outer shells surrounding the front portion and a pair of projecting portions protruding inward in the width direction from the pair of inner side surfaces with their tips separated from each other at intervals along the height direction. The fin body is provided with a configured projecting portion group, and the fin main body is sandwiched between the pair of inner side surfaces of the outer shell portion and the projecting portion group, so that a narrow portion and a wide portion are formed in the height direction. Alternately occurring along.

In this fish-shaped lure caudal fin member, since the fin body is a bundle of a plurality of fibrous bodies extending linearly in a dense state in the height direction and the width direction, the target fish is the fin. When it bites into the main body, the fin main body is fluidly deformed and easily comes out of the target fish's mouth along the extending direction of the fibrous body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fin body from being cut by the teeth of the target fish or being bitten by the target fish, and as a result, damage to the caudal fin member can be effectively suppressed.

Further, in this fish-shaped lure caudal fin member, the fin body as a whole has a flat shape having a larger dimension in the height direction than the width direction, so that the fin body expresses the silhouette of the fish caudal fin. it can. Further, in the caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure, the holding member that holds the front portion of the fin body from the periphery has a pair of inner surfaces located on both sides of the front portion of the fin body in the width direction, and the pair of inner surfaces. An outer shell that surrounds the front part of the fin body, and a pair of protrusions that protrude inward in the width direction from a pair of inner surfaces of the outer shell with their tips separated from each other along the height direction. It is provided with a group of protruding parts formed by arranging a plurality of parts at intervals, and the fin body is sandwiched between a pair of inner side surfaces of the outer shell part and the group of protruding parts, so that a narrow part and a wide part can be separated. It occurs alternately along the height direction. As a result, the fin body can be easily formed, and the narrow portion and the wide portion generated in the fin body can exhibit different movements in water. As a result, the fin body naturally fluctuates in water, and the discomfort given to the target fish of the fish-shaped lure can be reduced.

In the fish-shaped lure caudal fin member, the internal space of the outer shell portion expands rearward in the height direction, and each of the protruding portions is configured as a ridge extending in a predetermined direction, and the pair. It is preferable that the plurality of protrusions provided on each of the inner side surfaces are arranged radially toward the rear.

According to this configuration, since the internal space of the outer shell portion expands in the height direction toward the rear, the outer shape of the fin body in which the front portion is arranged in the internal space is extended in the height direction toward the rear. It can be fan-shaped to expand. Moreover, in this configuration, each protrusion is configured as a ridge extending in a predetermined direction, and a plurality of protrusions provided on each of the pair of inner side surfaces of the outer shell are arranged radially rearward. Due to the plurality of protrusions, the fin body can be easily formed into a fan shape, and the fan shape of the fin body can be well maintained. Therefore, according to this configuration, the outer shape of the fin body can be brought closer to the fan-shaped outer shape of the caudal fin of the fish to further reduce the discomfort given to the target fish, and the outer shape can be maintained satisfactorily.

Further, since each protrusion is configured as a ridge extending in a predetermined direction, and a plurality of protrusions provided on each of the pair of inner side surfaces of the outer shell are arranged radially rearward, the plurality of protrusions are arranged. With the ridges of the above, the plurality of narrow portions of the fin body can be satisfactorily formed so that the plurality of narrow portions of the fin body extend rearward in a streak pattern and are arranged radially. Therefore, the appearance of the fin body can be made closer to the appearance of the caudal fin of a fish in which a plurality of fin strips and a plurality of fin membranes extend radially, and the fin body can be caused to fluctuate more naturally in water.

In the caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure, the fin body is wound around a fibrous body aggregate in which a plurality of fibrous bodies are bundled and a front end portion of the fibrous body aggregate. It has a binding thread for bundling the front end portion, and a groove for fitting the binding thread around the front end portion of the fibrous assembly is provided at a position on the front side of the protruding portion on each inner side surface. Is preferable.

By winding the binding thread around the front end of the fibrous assembly, the binding thread projects around from the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the fibrous assembly. According to this configuration, the outer shell portion A groove into which the binding thread around the front end of the fibrous assembly is fitted is provided on each inner side surface at a position on the front side of the protruding portion, so that the outer shell portion of the holding member is hindered by the binding thread. It can be attached around the front of the fin body without any need. Moreover, the fitting of the binding thread portion into the groove makes it difficult for the fin body to come out rearward from the holding member, so that the effect of suppressing the fin body from falling off from the holding member can be enhanced.

In the caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure, the holding member is composed of a pair of split bodies joined to each other with the holding member divided into two in the width direction and the front portion of the fin body sandwiched between them. Is preferable.

In this configuration, the holding member is composed of a pair of divided bodies joined to each other with the holding member divided into two in the width direction and the front portion of the fin body sandwiched between them. The front portion of the fin body can be held by the holding member and the fin body can be formed by simply sandwiching the front portion of the fin body from both sides in the width direction and joining the divided bodies to each other. Therefore, the work of holding the front portion of the fin body with the holding member and the work of molding the fin body can be easily performed.

In the caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure, the fibrous body is preferably animal hair.

Since animal hair is a natural product, according to this configuration, the fibrous aggregates of the fin body generate a more natural and smooth flicker in water, and the function of attracting the target fish can be improved.

Further, the fish-shaped lure according to the present invention includes the caudal fin member for the fish-shaped lure and a lure body having a shape imitating a fish body and having a tail portion to which the holding member is detachably connected.

Since the plurality of left and right protrusions 33b, 33a are arranged radially toward the rear, the plurality of left and right protrusions 33b, 33a cause a plurality of narrow widths of the fibrous aggregate 25 of the fin body 22. The plurality of narrow portions 28 can be satisfactorily formed so that the portions 28 extend rearward in a streak pattern and are arranged radially. The streaky shape of each narrow portion 28 tends to be blurred due to the natural spread of the fibrous body 25 as the distance from the rear end of each protrusion 33b, 33a is increased, but in the present embodiment, the left and right protrusions are likely to be blurred. Since the positions of the rear ends of 33b and 33a are aligned on the rear end edge of the outer shell portion 32, the positions of the rear ends of the protruding portions 33b and 33a are set to be in front of the rear end edge of the outer shell portion 32. In the fibrous assembly 25 protruding rearward from the rear end edge of the outer shell portion 32, the streaky shape of each narrow portion 28 can be formed more clearly than in the case where the outer shell portion 32 is formed. From the above, in the present embodiment, the appearance of the fin body 22 can be made closer to the appearance of the caudal fin of a fish in which a plurality of fin strips and a plurality of fin membranes extend radially, and the fin body 22 flicker more naturally in water. Can be generated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the front end portion, the front end portion and the rear end portion of each right protrusion 33a and each left protrusion 33b have a rounded convex shape. If the tip, front end, and rear end of each right protrusion 33a and each left protrusion 33b have an angular shape, there is a risk that the fibrous body 25a rubs against those corners and tears. However, by forming a rounded convex shape as in the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of such tearing of the fibrous body 25a.

Further, in the present embodiment, the holding member 24 is formed by the right side part 52 and the left side part 54 which are divided into two in the width direction and joined to each other with the front portion of the fin body 22 sandwiched between them. ing. Therefore, the front part of the fin body 22 is held by the holding member 24 only by sandwiching the front part of the fin body 22 between the right side part 52 and the left side part 54 from both sides in the width direction and joining the parts 52 and 54 to each other. The fin body 22 can be molded. Therefore, the work of holding the front portion of the fin body 22 by the holding member 24 and the work of molding the fin body 22 can be easily performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the binding thread 26 is wound around the front end portion of the fibrous assembly 25, so that the binding thread 26 projects around from the outer peripheral surface of the front end portion of the fibrous assembly 25. On the inner surface of the outer shell portion 32 of the holding member 24, a groove 38 into which the binding thread 26 around the front end portion of the fibrous assembly 25 is fitted is provided at a position on the front side of the protruding portions 33a and 33b. , The outer shell portion 32 can be attached around the front portion of the fin body 22 without being hindered by the binding thread 26.

The caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure and the fish-shaped lure according to the present invention are not necessarily limited to those of the above-described embodiment. For example, the following configuration can be adopted as the configuration of the caudal fin member for a fish-shaped lure and the fish-shaped lure according to the present invention.

Each protruding portion of the holding member may have a specific shape, for example, in the height direction of the holding member, as long as the width dimension of the cross section orthogonal to the body length direction (front-back direction) changes along the height direction. It may rise gently inward in the width direction of the holding member from the inner side surface of the outer shell portion along the line. In this case, the internal space of the holding member gradually changes in width and narrowness alternately along the height direction at the position in the front-rear direction in which the protrusion is provided.

Alternatively, each protruding portion in the present invention is not limited to the ridges as shown in the above embodiment, and is a pin-shaped (columnar) portion having a size smaller in the front-rear direction than the ridges and is formed in the outer shell portion. It may protrude inward in the width direction from the inner side surface. However, when each protrusion is a protrusion, the length of each protrusion in the front-rear direction becomes large, so that each protrusion is formed by each protrusion as compared with the case where each protrusion is pin-shaped. Each narrow part of the fin body can be easily formed into a streak extending radially backward, and the extending direction of the fibrous body is regulated along a plurality of radial extending ridges to form the fibrous aggregate as a whole. It has the effect of facilitating molding into a fan shape.

Further, the internal space of the outer shell portion of the holding member is not limited to a shape that expands in the height direction toward the rear, and may have any other shape. For example, the internal space of the outer shell portion may have a rectangular shape or the like when viewed from the side. In this case, the fin body is formed so as to form a shape in which the dimension in the height direction of the portion of the holding member protruding rearward from the outer shell portion is maintained substantially constant until the rear end according to the shape of the internal space. Will be done.

Further, each protruding portion may have a plate shape having a smaller dimension in the height direction than the ridge.

Moreover, the fibrous body is not necessarily limited to animal hair. For example, the fibrous body may be made of nylon, polyethylene, other soft synthetic resin, or rubber formed in a thread shape. Further, the fibrous body does not have to extend so as to form a strictly straight line, and a fibrous body extending substantially linearly is also included in the fibrous body of the present invention. For this reason, for example, the fibrous body may be like a bird's feather. The bird's feather has a feather shaft extending linearly and feathers extending around the feather shaft, but since it extends substantially linearly as a whole, it can be used as the fibrous body of the present invention.

Further, as the fibrous body constituting the fibrous body aggregate, animal hair may be used as a mixture of the fibrous body of synthetic resin or the fibrous body made of rubber.

Further, the lure body may be integrally formed as a whole. Further, as the shape of the lure body in the present invention, the shape of the lure body of various known fish-shaped lures can be applied.

Further, the connecting structure between the tail of the lure body and the holding member of the caudal fin member is not necessarily limited to the structure shown in the above embodiment. For example, the holding member of the caudal fin member may be bonded to the tail portion of the lure body to bond the holding member to the tail portion. Further, even if an annulus portion is provided on each of the holding member of the caudal fin member and the tail portion of the lure body, and the annulus portions are connected to each other by inserting a pin, a screw, a bolt, or the like into the annulus portion. Good. Further, it is also possible to apply a known bonding structure other than these to the bonding structure between the tail of the lure body and the holding member of the caudal fin member.

Further, the trailing edge of the fin body (fibrous aggregate) may have a shape such as a straight line or an arc when viewed from the side.

Further, the position of the protruding portion in the outer shell portion of the holding member may be set so that the rear end of the protruding portion is arranged on the front side of the rear end edge of the outer shell portion.
