Description

The present invention relates to a fishing lure used for lure fishing, and particularly relates to a lure hook attached to the lure body and a fishing lure provided with the hook.

Generally, fishing lures used for lure fishing often have a structure in which hooks are hung on the abdomen and tail fin of a lure body that resembles small fish, small animals, insects, etc. called plugs, minnows, jigs and spoons. Has been done. The hook attached to this lure body bends its needle tip into a J shape so that it will be caught in its mouth or gills when it touches the fish, and at the tip of the hook, it will prevent the caught needle from coming off the fish. Is formed.

In addition, this hook has three needle tips at equal intervals, that is, at intervals of about 120 ° with respect to the shaft connected to the lure body side, in order to cope with the biting of fish from all directions. Are often used in a radial arrangement. Further, a hook having two needle tips is often used in order to reduce the sound of the needle tip colliding with the lure body.

However, in the conventional hook having three or two needle tips in this way, the distance (angle) between the needle tips is fixed, so that the fish bites (is caught) on any one of the needle tips. After that, it is unlikely that it will get caught in another needle tip. Therefore, if the fish caught on the needle tip goes wild, the shallowly caught part (mouth or gills) may be torn off and the fish may escape by hooking out as it is.

Further, even if two or more needle tips are applied, the distance between the needle tips is fixed, so that the force is concentrated on one of the needle tips and the force cannot be dispersed, resulting in the same inconvenience. Invite. If the fish that has been eaten is large, the needle tip may extend or break because it cannot withstand its weight and resistance, and the fish may fall out from the needle tip.

Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, the present inventor comprises a J-shaped first hook member and a second hook member that are independent of each other as the hook, and the pair of hook members can be expanded or contracted freely. He invented a structure in which they are connected so as to be bundled by a connecting body. With such a configuration, the first hook member and the second hook member move independently regardless of the movement of the other, so that, for example, after a fish is caught on only one hook member, the fish is caught. There is a high possibility that other parts of the fish will be caught on the other hook due to the fish going wild.

As a result, the fish is caught by the two independent hooks, and the two independent hooks follow the movement of the escaping fish with respect to the movement of the fish, so that the force is evenly distributed to both hooks. As a result, it is possible to avoid inconveniences such as the part where the hook is shallowly caught is torn, and the needle tip is extended or broken due to the weight and resistance of the fish.

Japanese Patent No. 5923676

By the way, in the hook having the new structure as described above, as shown in FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (A), the shaft portions a1 and b1 of the hook members a and b are connected to each other by expanding and contracting a rubber tube or the like. Although the structure is bundled with c, the hook members a and b are as shown in FIGS. 13 (B) and 13 (B) due to the impact of the lure when it lands on the water and the movement when a fish is caught. It may be twisted or shifted up and down in the connecting body c. Even if it is used as it is in this state, its function can be exhibited, but since the original movement is restricted to some extent, it is desirable to manually return it to the original state each time, and the work may be troublesome.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve these problems, and an object thereof is a novel hook for a lure in which the hook members do not twist or shift in the connecting body, and a fishing lure provided with the hook. Is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention bundles a substantially J-shaped first hook member and a second hook member with a deformable and resilient connecting body, and the connecting body is the first hook member. A hook for a lure and a fishing lure provided with a first holding hole for penetrating and holding the second hook member and a second holding hole for penetrating and holding the second hook member. ..

Whereas the conventional connecting body holds a pair of hook members together in one through hole, in the present invention, the connecting body has two holding holes, and the first for each holding hole. The hook member and the second hook member are penetrated and held independently of each other. As a result, even if a fish is caught and each hook member moves greatly, the hook members do not twist or shift from each other.

In the lure hook according to the present invention, since the first hook member and the second hook member are penetrated through each holding hole of the connecting body and held independently, each hook may be caught by a fish or the like. Even if the members move significantly from each other, the hook members will not be twisted or displaced in the connecting body.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the fishing lure 100 according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fishing lure 100 includes a fish-shaped lure body 10 and hook eyes 20 and 20 provided near the abdomen and tail fin of the lure body 10, and a connecting ring composed of a welding ring, a split ring, or the like. It is composed of lure hooks 30 and 30 that are swingably engaged with each other via 21 and 21.

The lure body 10 is made of plastic, metal, rubber, etc. that imitates the morphology of actual fish, small animals, insects, etc., and is pulled by the line 40 connected to the line eye 22 near the mouth of the lure body 10 underwater. Or it is located near the surface of the water and functions to attract surrounding fish. In some lure bodies 10, the tail fin portion is a break-action type and swings left and right.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hook 30 is configured by bundling the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 with a connecting body 33. The first hook member 31 is made of a high-strength wire such as carbon steel, has a ring-shaped hanging portion 31b at the top of the linear shaft portion 31a, and has a J-shape at the lower end thereof. The curved needle tip portion 31c is integrally formed. As shown in FIG. 3A, the needle tip portion 31c is curved to the left by about 45 ° to 60 ° with respect to the annular surface S1 when viewed from above the ring-shaped hanging portion 31b. ing.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the second hook member 32 also has a ring-shaped hanging portion 32b at the upper end of the linear shaft portion 32a, and the lower end portion thereof is similar to the first hook member 31. A J-shaped curved needle tip portion 32c is integrally formed, and this needle tip portion 32c is the first when viewed from above the ring-shaped hanging portion 32b as shown in FIG. 3 (B). Contrary to the hook member 31, the annular surface S2 is curved to the right by about 45 ° to 60 °. The angle is not limited to 45 ° to 60 °, and varies depending on the width and shape of the lure used.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the hanging portion 31b of the first hook member 31 and the hanging portion 32b of the second hook member 32 are bundled in a superposed state, the needle tip portions 31c and 32c, respectively, are bundled. It is in a state of being opened outward in a fan shape by about 45 ° to 60 ° in each of the left and right diagonal directions. As shown in FIG. 7, even if the barbs 31d and 32d are provided inside the needle tips 31c and 32c of the hook members 31 and 32 to prevent the needle from coming off after the fish has eaten, respectively. good.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting body 33 that bundles the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 is a rod-shaped connecting body having substantially the same length as the substantially linear shaft portions 31a and 32a. A pair of holding holes 33b and 33c are formed in 33a so as to penetrate parallel to the longitudinal direction thereof. The shaft portion 31a of the first hook member 31 penetrates and is held in one of the first holding holes 33b, and the shaft portion 32a of the second hook member 32 is held in the other second holding hole 33c. Is pierced and held.

The material of the connecting body 33 may be any material that has appropriate strength, is deformable, and has resilience. For example, polyolefins, fluoropolymers, and thermoplastics used as silicon rubber, electrically insulating materials, and the like are used. It is composed of elastomer and the like. As a method for manufacturing the connector 33 having such a structure, known techniques such as a resin extrusion molding method and a method for manufacturing an electric wire in which a pair of conductors are coated with an insulator can be used as they are. ..

As a method of assembling the hook 30 having such a structure, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the connecting body 33 is pushed in from the needle tip portions 31c and 32c side of the first hook member 31 and the second hook 32 member. Can be easily assembled with. That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the needle tips 31c and 32c of the first hook member 31 and the second hook 32 member are aligned with each other and inserted so as to cover the tip of the connecting body 33 with the needle as it is. The connecting body 33 is pushed along the tips 31c and 32c. Specifically, the tip of the first hook member 31 is inserted into the first holding hole 33b side, and the tip of the second hook 32 member is inserted into the second holding hole 33c side as it is shown in FIG. As described above, the connecting body 33 is pushed along the needle tips 31c and 32c.

After that, the connecting body 33 is further passed along the needle tips 31c and 32c while being curved and pushed toward the shafts 31a and 32a, and the insertion tip side of the connecting body 33 reaches the hanging portions 31b and 32b. Push in. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3C, the first hook member 31 and the second hook 32 member are firmly connected by the connecting body 33 at the shaft portions 31a and 32a, and the hanging portions 31b and 32b are connected to each other. Are located in parallel with a slight interval, and the needle tips 31c and 32c open forward at a predetermined angle (about 45 ° to 60 ° with respect to the annular surfaces S1 and S2, respectively). Is held at.

Then, in a state where no external force is applied to the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32, the original shape is maintained as shown in FIG. 6A, but the first hook member 31 Since the second hook member 32 and the second hook member 32 are originally independent of each other, they can freely move with each other about the connecting body 33 regardless of the other state.

FIG. 6B shows a state in which the needle tip portions 31c and 32c of the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 have moved outward so as to be separated from each other, and is shown in FIG. 6C. Indicates a state in which the needle tips 31c and 32c have moved inward so as to approach each other. Of course, it is possible for only one of them to move. When the needle tips 31c and 32c change their directions due to an external force, the annular suspensions 31b and 32b interfere with each other, and are shown in FIGS. (B) and (C). As shown in the above figure, the shaft portions 31a and 32a are separated from each other and the connecting body 33 is temporarily deformed so as to be widened. The parts 31a and 32a naturally return to their original states so that they are parallel to each other.

Then, when the hook 30 is attached to the lure body 10 so that the needle tips 31c and 32c face the line 40 direction as shown in FIG. 1, the first hook member 31 or the second hook member 32 independently respectively. Since it will move, after the fish is caught only on one of them, for example, only on the first hook member 31, the fish goes wild and comes into contact with the other second hook member 32, and this is the other of the fish. The possibility of getting caught in the part is extremely high.

Since the needle tip portions 31c and 32c of the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 are curved in a J shape, the needle tip portions 31c and 32c once caught do not easily come off. Further, since the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 move independently without being restricted by the position and movement of the other hook member due to the application of an external force, the fish become deeper enough to run wild once they are caught. It will bite into the mouth and ella of the fish. As a result, the fish can be firmly caught by the two hook members 31 and 32 that move independently, so that the part that is shallowly caught on only one of the first hook member 31 or the second hook member 32 is torn off and the fish can be caught. It is possible to avoid inconveniences such as running away or the needle tip extending and falling out due to the weight and resistance of the fish.

Therefore, once the fish has been eaten, the fish can go wild, and even if it is large, it can be reliably caught without letting it escape. Then, the hook 30 after removing the fish caught in this way naturally returns to the original state by the contraction force of the connecting body 33 when the external force disappears, so that the positions of the hook members 31 and 32 are changed. It can be reused immediately without any special modification such as adjustment.

Further, as described above, the conventional connecting body holds the pair of hook members 31 and 32 so as to be bundled in one holding hole, whereas the hook 30 according to the present invention has two connecting bodies 33. Since the holding holes 33b and 33c are provided, and the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 are penetrated through the holding holes 33b and 33c and held independently of each other, fish can be caught. Even if the hook members 31 and 32 move significantly, the hook members 31 and 32 do not twist or shift in the connecting body 33.

Further, in the hook 30 of the present invention, since the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 are independently entwined with the mouth of the fish or the like, once they are caught, they can be easily disengaged to the extent that the fish goes wild. There is no such thing. Therefore, the barbs 31d and 32d of the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 can be omitted (barbless hook), so that damage to the caught fish can be minimized. Therefore, it is also ideal as a fishing hook used in sports fishing that assumes catch and release. Moreover, when the caught fish is handed over to another person or sold, the commercial value of the fish is not impaired.

Next, FIGS. 8 to 12 show other embodiments of the fishing lure 100 according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the two holding holes 33b and 33c of the connecting body 33 have an elliptical cross section, respectively, and the holding holes 33b and 33c are formed in a C shape. be. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting body 33 is attached from the shaft portions 31a and 32a of the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 to the needle tip portions 31c and 32c, whereby the first hook member 31 is attached. The angle of the needle tip portions 31c and 32c of the second hook member 32 can be held while maintaining a constant angle.

That is, as described above, the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 have J-shaped needle tip portions 31c and 32c so as to gently curve from the lower ends of the linear shaft portions 31a and 32a, respectively. It is formed continuously. Then, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 are positioned so as to pass through the inner ends of the holding holes 33b and 33c at the upper end portion of the connecting body 33. (FIG. 10 (A)), the lower end of the holding holes 33b and 33c is directed toward the outside of the holding holes 33b and 33c, and the lower end portion of the holding holes 33b and 33c passes through the outer ends of the holding holes 33b and 33c. (FIG. 10 (B)).

As a result, by passing the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 through the holding holes 33b and 33c, the needle tips 31c and 32c naturally face in the long axis direction of the holding holes 33b and 33c. Will be retained. Further, since the holding holes 33b and 33c are formed so as to have a C-shaped cross section, the angles of the needle tip portions 31c and 32c are held while maintaining a constant angle.

Therefore, when a fish is caught, the connecting body 33 is deformed as in the above embodiment, so that the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 can move freely independently of each other. When the applied force is released, the restoring force of the connecting body 33 causes the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32 to return to their original positional relationships.

That is, in the above-described embodiment, the contraction force of the connecting body 33 acts so as to eliminate the interference between the ring-shaped hanging portions 31b and 32b of the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32. However, in the present embodiment, the two holding holes 33b and 33c of the connecting body 33 have an elliptical cross section, and the holding holes 33b and 33c are formed in a C shape. However, the original positional relationship is maintained only by the restoring force of the holding holes 33b and 33c themselves.

Therefore, by using the connecting body 33 as in the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce or eliminate the ring-shaped hanging portions 31b and 32b of the first hook member 31 and the second hook member 32. .. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the assist hook 50 used for jigging, top water lure fishing of salt water, and the like can be used as it is. As shown in the figure, the assist hook 50 has a structure in which a pair of assist hooks 51, 51 having a string-shaped assist line 51b at the end of the hook member 51a are attached to the connecting ring 52, and each assist. Although the hooks 51 and 51 themselves move independently, they do not have the function of maintaining their positional relationship.
