Description

The present invention relates to a lure hook and a fishing lure provided with the hook.

A lure (pseudo bait) is used for lure fishing, and usually one or more lure hooks are attached to the lure. Conventionally, treble hooks (triple hooks) in which three needle tips are arranged at equal intervals have been widely used. However, in recent years, for the purpose of catch and release, a J-shaped single hook having the same shape as that for general bait is increasingly used as a hook for lures.

By the way, in order to efficiently transmit the pulling force from the thread tied to Chimoto to the needle tip, it is said that the J-type single hook should have a closed gave with the needle tip facing slightly inward (shaft side). When a J-shaped single hook of the closed gave is attached to the hook eye of the abdomen of the lure, the shaft of the needle interferes with the abdomen of the lure and becomes slanted. Therefore, the distance between the abdomen of the lure and the tip of the needle becomes small, and when the fish holds the lure with its mouth, the contact with the tip of the needle decreases, and as a result, the hooking of the needle inevitably deteriorates. Therefore, in order to increase the contact between the mouth of the fish and the tip of the needle, a lure hook 52 of the lure 51 shown in FIG. Is conceivable. However, in this case, when the fish comes into contact with the needle tip, the hook 52 tends to rotate around the free end Chimoto 53. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6B, the hook 52 escapes (shifts from the position) from the originally preferable center position of the abdomen of the lure, resulting in poor needle hooking.

Although it is not a technique relating to a J-type single hook, several techniques for suppressing the misalignment of the hook in water have been conventionally proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Patent Document 1 discloses a lure provided with a magnet on the abdomen of the lure in order to hold the swivel hook in water. Patent Document 2 discloses that a plate-shaped member sandwiched between two hooks is provided on the abdomen of the lure in order to hold the double hook in water.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, since it is necessary to add a configuration for holding a hook on the lure side, a dedicated lure must be prepared, and it cannot be said that the lure is highly versatile.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a lure hook and a hook for a lure, in which the hook is less likely to be misaligned in water and the hook is easily hooked without adding a configuration on the lure side. It is to provide fishing lures.

In order to solve the above problem, the invention described in the means 1 is a lure hook attached to a hook eye formed at at least one position of the abdomen in a state where the lure can be attached to and detached from the abdomen of a fish-shaped lure. The first hook component, which is made of a metal wire having a substantially J-shape and has a chimoto, a shaft, and a needle tip, and is shorter than the first hook component and is bent into a substantially arcuate shape or a substantially arcuate shape. A second hook component is provided, which is made of a metal wire and both ends thereof are formed in a non-sharp shape, and the length of the second hook component is the height of the first hook component. It is 1/3 to 1/2 of the dimension in the direction and shorter than the width dimension of the lure to be applied, and the second hook constituent member is when the first hook constituent member is viewed from the front side where the needle tip is located. In addition, below the intersection with the axis when a straight line orthogonal to the axis is drawn starting from the needle tip so as to intersect the axis extending in the vertical direction and extend in the left-right direction. The convex curved portion in the second hook constituent member is fixed to the rear side of the shaft and is fixed in the position, and the concave curved portion existing in the second hook constituent member on the opposite side of the convex curved portion. The gist of the lure hook is that the curved portion can be brought into contact with the abdomen of the lure to be applied and has a shape that can follow the curved shape of the surface of the abdomen of the lure. do.

Therefore, according to the invention described in the means 1, when the fish touches the needle tip of the first hook constituent member when the hook eye on the abdomen of the lure is attached to the chimoto side of the first hook constituent member. The second hook component is held in contact with the abdomen of the lure. As a result, the entire hook is less likely to be misaligned in water, and the hooking is improved. Further, in the present invention, since it is not necessary to add a configuration for holding the hook on the lure side, it can be applied to various types of lures and is excellent in versatility .
Further, the second hook constituent member is a metal wire rod bent into a substantially arcuate shape or a substantially arcuate shape, and the convex curved portion of the second hook constituent member is fixed to the outside of the shaft. .. That is, since a suitable concave curved portion exists on the opposite side of the convex curved portion in the second hook component member, when the concave curved portion comes into contact with the abdomen of the lure, it is more difficult to skid. Become. Further, the second hook component member bent in this way easily follows the curved surface shape of the lure abdominal surface. Therefore, the second hook component is held in a more stable state.

In the invention described in the means 2, when the direction of the needle tip with respect to the shaft is defined as 0 ° in the cross section of the shaft in the means 1, both ends of the second hook constituent member are formed. The gist is that they are oriented in the range of ± 90 ° to ± 150 ° with respect to the axis.

Therefore, according to the invention described in the means 2, since both ends of the second hook constituent member are oriented in a suitable range, the peripheral surface of the second hook constituent member comes into contact with the abdomen of the lure. Occasionally, the second hook component is held in a state where it is difficult to skid. Therefore, the entire hook is less likely to be misaligned.

According to the invention described in the means 3, in the means 1, both ends of the second hook component are oriented in a direction in the range of ± 100 ° to ± 130 ° with respect to the axis. It is a summary.

Therefore, according to the invention described in the means 3, since both ends of the second hook constituent member are oriented in a more suitable range, a suitable concave portion is formed on the peripheral surface of the second hook constituent member. Will be done. Therefore, when the peripheral surface of the second hook component comes into contact with the abdomen of the lure, the second hook component is reliably held in a state where it is more difficult to skid.

According to the invention described in the means 4 , in any one of the means 1 to 3 , at least both ends of the second hook constituent member are covered with a covering body made of a resin material or a rubber material. It is a summary.

Therefore, according to the invention described in Means 4 , the second hook component comes into contact with the abdomen of the lure via a covering made of a relatively soft resin material or rubber material. As a result of preventing slipping, the second hook component is held in a more stable state. Further, since the collision sound due to the contact between the lure and the second hook component is reduced, it is suitable for fishing of fish that dislikes such collision sound. Further, the lure is not damaged due to the contact with the second hook component member.

The gist of the invention described in the means 5 is a fishing lure in which a hook for a lure according to any one of means 1 to 4 is attached to a hook eye formed at at least one position on the abdomen of a fish-shaped lure. And.

As described in detail above , according to the inventions of claims 1 to 5 , a lure hook having a hook that is less likely to be misaligned in water and a good hooking is provided without adding a configuration on the lure side. Fishing lures can be provided.

Explanatory drawing about a preferable angle range in which both ends of the 2nd hook constituent members in the lure hook of the said embodiment should be directed. The side view which shows the state which attached the hook for a lure of the said embodiment to a lure. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. (A) to (c) are cross-sectional views showing lure hooks of another embodiment. (A) and (b) are diagrams for explaining the problems of the prior art.

Hereinafter, a hook for a lure according to an embodiment of the present invention and a lure using the hook will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 shows the lure hook 11 of the present embodiment. The lure hook 11 is a so-called J-shaped single hook, and is composed of a first hook constituent member 21 and a second hook constituent member 31.

The first hook component 21 and the second hook component 31 are both made of metal wire. The metal wire is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used for a fishing hook, but in the present embodiment, a wire made of stainless steel or high carbon steel is used. The thickness of the metal wire used is not particularly limited, and is arbitrarily set according to the target fish species. The thickness of the metal wire is preferably about 1 mm to 5 mm, for example, and in the present embodiment, the metal wire of about 2 mm to 3 mm is selected. The color of the metal wire used is not particularly limited, and in the present embodiment, the color of the metal base (that is, silver) remains, but even if it is a metal color other than silver (for example, gold, brass, etc.). good. Furthermore, a metal wire rod having a coating film of a color other than the metallic color (for example, black, red, etc.) may be used.

The first hook component 21 constituting the lure hook 11 is made of a metal wire having a substantially J shape as a whole. The first hook component 21 has a chimoto 22, a shaft 23, a bent portion 24, a barb 25, and a needle tip 26 in this order. The Chimoto 22 is located at the base end portion (upper end portion in FIG. 1A) of the first hook constituent member 21, and is formed here by bending the end portion of the metal wire rod into a ring shape. .. When the ring-shaped Chimoto 22 is adopted, the hole is formed so as to face the front-rear direction of the lure hook 11 (the left-right direction in FIG. 1A and the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1B). Is preferable. The chimoto 22 does not have to be ring-shaped, and may have any shape as long as it can be connected to the hook eye 17 of the abdomen 16 of the lure 15 via some connecting member.

The needle tip 26 is located at the tip of the first hook component 21, and the diameter gradually decreases toward the tip so that the needle tip 26 can be easily pierced into the mouth of the fish. It has been processed. The maple 25 is formed so as to face in the opposite direction (downward in FIG. 1A) in the immediate vicinity of the needle tip 26. The shaft 23 is formed so as to be continuous below the Chimoto 22, and a bent portion 24 is arranged between the lower end portion of the shaft 23 and the lower end portion of the needle tip 26.

The second hook constituent member 31 constituting the lure hook 11 is shorter than the first hook constituent member 21 and is made of a metal wire rod bent into a substantially arc shape. The length of the second hook constituent member 31 is preferably, for example, half or less of the dimension L2 in the height direction of the first hook constituent member 21, and particularly preferably about 1/3 to 1/2 of the dimension L2. .. If this dimension is made too short, the length that the second hook constituent member 31 can come into contact with the abdomen 16 of the lure 15 decreases, and the second hook constituent member 31 may be difficult to hold. On the contrary, even if this dimension is made too long, not only the effect of holding the second hook constituent member 31 cannot be expected to be improved, but also both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31 are in the width direction of the lure 15. It may overhang and lead to an increase in resistance in water. From the above circumstances, it is more preferable that the second hook constituent member 31 is formed shorter than the width dimension of the lure 15 while satisfying the above-mentioned conditions of the preferable dimension range.

Contrary to the needle tip 26 described above, both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31 are formed in a non-sharp shape in which the diameter does not decrease even if the needle tip 26 is used first. That is, both end portions 32 have a shape that does not easily pierce the body of the fish and does not easily damage the fish. For example, in the present embodiment, both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31 have the same cross section as when the metal wire rod is cut with a cutting tool.

The second hook constituent member 31 is fixed at a predetermined position on the first hook constituent member 21. As shown in FIG. 1A, a straight line L1 orthogonal to the axis 23 is drawn starting from the needle tip 26, and the point where the straight line L1 and the axis 23 intersect at that time is referred to as an “intersection point P1”. The second hook component 31 is fixed at a position below the intersection P1 so as to intersect the shaft 23. That is, the second hook component 31 is fixed in the lower half region of the shaft 23 or in the vicinity of the boundary region between the shaft 23 and the bent portion 24. In this embodiment, the latter region is selected as the fixed position. If the fixed position of the second hook constituent member 31 is set to a position higher than the intersection point P1, it may be difficult for the second hook constituent member 31 to sufficiently receive and hold the force applied to the needle tip 26. be.

The second hook component 31 of the present embodiment, which is bent into a substantially arc shape, has a convex curved portion 33 directed toward the shaft 23 and a concave curved portion 34 directed toward the side opposite to the shaft 23 side. It is fixed to the outside (that is, the back side) of the shaft 23. The method of fixing is not particularly limited, and various conventionally known methods can be adopted, and for example, it is possible to select from welding, brazing, bonding, thread knotting and the like. As shown in FIG. 1B, the second hook constituent member 31 is arranged in a state orthogonal to the vertical direction in which the first hook constituent member 21 extends (that is, the extending direction of the shaft 23). .. Further, both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31 project laterally by the same length with respect to the shaft 23. Therefore, the lure hook 11 has a symmetrical shape and weight balance (see FIGS. 1B and 1C).

FIG. 2 illustrates a preferred angle range to which both ends 32 of the second hook component 31 should be directed. In the cross section of the shaft 23, the direction of the needle tip 26 with respect to the shaft 23 is defined as 0 °. At this time, it is preferable that both end portions 32 are oriented in the range of ± 90 ° to ± 150 ° with respect to the axis 23, respectively, and are oriented in the range of ± 100 ° to ± 130 °. Is particularly preferable. In particular, when the latter is set in a suitable angle range, a concave curved portion 34 having a suitable size and shape is formed on the peripheral surface of the second hook constituent member 31. Therefore, when the peripheral surface of the second hook component 31 comes into contact with the abdomen 16 of the lure 15, the second hook component 21 is reliably held in a state where it is unlikely to skid.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the lure hook 11 configured as described above is attached to the lure 15. As the lure 15 to be attached, various lures can be selected regardless of the material, size, and color as long as they are basically in the shape of a fish and have a hook eye 17 on the abdomen 16. .. Specifically, minnows, hoppers, shads, pencil baits, crank baits, jerk baits, wake baits and the like can be selected. In the lure 15 of FIG. 3, a hook eye 17 is provided at one position on the abdomen 16. Then, the hook 11 for a lure is attached to the lure 15 by connecting the chimoto 22 and the hook eye 17 using the double ring 18 as a connecting member. The number of double rings 18 may be two as in the present embodiment, but the number of double rings 18 is not limited to two.

The fishing lure 15 to which the lure hook 11 of the present embodiment configured in this way is attached can exert the following effects.

(1) When the fish tries to hold the lure after putting the lure 15 into the water and the fish comes into contact with the needle tip 26, the entire lure hook 11 is shown in FIG. 6 centering on the free end Chimoto 22. A force that tries to rotate as in (b) acts. However, even in such a case, when the second hook component 31 comes into contact with the abdomen 16 of the lure 15, the lure hook 11 is held non-rotatably at the originally preferable central position of the abdomen 16. .. As a result, the entire lure hook 11 is less likely to be misaligned in water, and the hooking is improved. Further, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, since the configuration for holding is provided only on the lure hook 11 side, it is not necessary to add such a configuration on the lure 15 side. Therefore, the lure hook 11 of the present embodiment can be widely applied to various types of lures 15 and has excellent versatility. Of course, since the lure hook 11 of the present embodiment is basically a J-shaped single hook, the risk of fish falling apart is low, and it is suitable for catch and release. As described above, according to the present embodiment, there is provided a lure hook 11 which is hard to be misaligned in water and has a good needle hook, and a fishing lure 15 provided with the hook 11 without adding a configuration on the lure 15 side. can do.

(2) In the lure hook 11 of the present embodiment, a metal wire rod bent into a substantially arc shape is used as the second hook constituent member 31, and the center of the convex curved portion 33 in the second hook constituent member 31. The portion is fixed to the outside of the shaft 23. Further, both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31 are set so as to have the above-mentioned preferable angle range. On the opposite side of the convex curved portion 33 of the second hook component 31, there is a concave curved portion 34 having a suitable shape (that is, a shape having a curvature substantially equal to the curvature of the abdomen 16 of the lure 15 to be applied). ing. Therefore, when the concave curved portion 34 comes into contact with the abdomen 16 of the lure 15, the second hook component 31 is securely held in a state where it is difficult to skid. Therefore, the entire lure hook 11 is less likely to be displaced. Further, the second hook component 31 bent in this way easily follows the curved surface shape of the surface of the abdomen 16 of the lure 15. Therefore, the second hook component 31 is held in a more stable state.

(3) In the lure hook 11 of the present embodiment, in addition to the second hook component 31 being fixed to the outside (that is, the back side) of the shaft 23, the hole portion in the ring-shaped Chimoto 22 is oriented in the front-rear direction. It is formed to face. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1A, the second hook component 31 is located on the back side of the shaft 23 and the Chimoto 22, and the shaft 23 and the Chimoto 22 do not protrude. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the second hook component 31 may preferentially contact the abdomen 16 of the lure 15, while the first hook component 21 may not contact the abdomen 16. ..

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be arbitrarily modified without departing from the spirit of the invention.

-In the above embodiment, the second hook component 31 is made of a metal wire rod curved in a substantially arc shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the lure hook 11A of another embodiment shown in FIG. 5A, a second hook constituent member 31A made of a linear metal wire may be used. Further, as in the lure hook 11B of another embodiment shown in FIG. 5B, a second hook constituent member 31B made of a metal wire rod bent in a substantially shape may be used.

-For example, as in the lure hook 11C of another embodiment shown in FIG. 5 (c), both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31 are cap-shaped coverings made of a resin material or a rubber material. It may be covered with 41. According to this configuration, the second hook component 31 made of a relatively hard metal wire is covered with a softer material. Therefore, the metal wire constituting the second hook component 31 does not come into direct contact with the abdomen 16 of the lure 15, but indirectly through the covering 41 to prevent slipping. .. As a result, the second hook component 31 is held in a more stable state. Further, since the collision sound due to the contact between the lure 15 and the second hook component 31 is reduced, it can be made suitable for fishing of fish that dislikes such collision sound. Further, it is possible to avoid damage to the lure 15 due to contact with the second hook component 31. The covering body 41 may be formed only on both end portions 32 of the second hook constituent member 31, or may be formed over the entire second hook constituent member 31. Further, the covering body 41 does not have to be in the shape of a cap, and may be formed by coating a resin material or a rubber material in a layered manner.

-In the above embodiment, the second hook constituent member 31 is fixed to the dorsal side of the first hook constituent member 21, but it can be fixed to the ventral side for the time being. From the viewpoint of facilitation of production, the configuration of fixing to the dorsal side as in the above embodiment is more advantageous.

-In the above embodiment, the second hook constituent member 31 is made of a wire rod, but the hook is not limited to the wire rod, and may be, for example, a plate shape. Further, the second hook component 31 does not have to be made of metal, and may be made of a material other than metal (for example, resin).

-In the above embodiment, the lure hook 11 is provided at one place on the abdomen 16 of the lure 15, but when, for example, there are two hook eyes 17 at two places on the abdomen 16, the lure hook 11 is provided for each. It may be provided. At that time, the shapes and sizes of the second hook constituent members 31 may be the same, but may be different.

-In the above embodiment, the first hook constituent member 21 and the second hook constituent member 31 are formed by using a common material (that is, a metal wire having the same metal type and the same thickness), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first hook constituent member 21 and the second hook constituent member 31 can be formed of metal wire rods of different metal types, or may be formed of metal wire rods of different thicknesses. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost, it is advantageous to use a common material as in the above embodiment.
