Description

The present invention relates to a tail of a lure (pseudo bait) used in black bass (hereinafter, simply abbreviated as "bass") fishing, sea bass fishing, and the like.

In recent years, various lures with different shapes, materials, diving characteristics, etc. have been developed due to the increase in sports fishing based on catch and release. Among them, the mainstream is a fish-shaped lure, which specifically has a fish head, body and tail, and is made entirely in the shape of a fish. Furthermore, in the lure made in the shape of the fish, the body is divided in the front-rear direction and the adjacent members are connected by a joint, so that the lure looks like a real fish in water when the reel is retrieved. In addition, many products have been developed that have been made to move in a zigzag shape and have an enhanced appeal by this movement. As for the tail, the tail can be freely attached to the rear end of the body of the lure, so that the tail can be selected as appropriate according to the conditions of the field where the angler fishes and the target bass inhabiting. Is being used.

Also, in recent years, with the increase in size of buses, especially in reservoirs such as dams and water systems such as lakes, large lures called "big baits" with a total length of 20 cm or more have tended to be widely used. Various specifications such as so-called hardware type and software type have been developed. For example, the body of a lure is divided into two parts in the front-rear direction, and the structure is such that the lure can swing with each other via a joint between the front part including the head and the rear part including the tail. It is also known that by adopting an inclined surface structure in which the portion facing the rear side portion is inclined at a predetermined angle, the behavior of the front side portion and the rear side portion is changed to enhance the appeal to the bus or the like. ing.

As mentioned above, among various lures that have a tail such as a big bait, there are many that enhance the appeal to bass etc. by changing the swing structure of the body, but the tail itself is As a means to improve the appeal power, there are feather type tails in the form of hair bundles and blade type tails that generate waves reflected by sunlight and waves in water, but the whole is the shape of the caudal fin of a fish such as a bass. Like the actual fish caudal fin, the natural tail has a shape that gradually decreases the thickness from the base side to the rear side, so it is said that the appeal to bass etc. is low. There were drawbacks.

An object of the present invention is to provide a lure having a tail such as a big bait, which can improve the appeal to a bass or the like.

The present invention according to claim 1 is a tail that protrudes rearward from the rear end portion of the main body of the lure and is provided integrally or separately with the rear end portion of the main body of the lure. It consists of a base provided at the end portion and a caudal fin-shaped tail body extending rearward from the base, the tail body is membranous, and the base of the tail is thicker than the tail body. The main body has a substantially bifurcated shape divided in the vertical direction, and the trailing edge is approximately V-shaped in the shape of a fish caudal fin, and the thickness of the tail body should be 1.4 mm or less, which is almost uniform. The tail body is a lure tail formed into a film having rubber-like elasticity that hangs down due to attractive force when the rear end portion of the body of the lure is turned up.

The tail for a lure according to the present invention is formed integrally with the rear end portion of the main body of the lure, or is replaceably attached as a separate body via a mounting means such as a stopper pin. The main body of the tail is in the shape of a fish caudal fin, and the thickness of the main body is formed into a film having rubber-like elasticity of 2 mm or less, so that it can be used with the caudal fin of an actual bass or the like. Compared to a tail of the same shape, the shape change accompanying the movement of the lure is smoother, but larger and more versatile. Therefore, the appealing power to the bass etc. becomes very strong compared to the conventional tail, and in particular, the momentary and various morphological changes of the tail body are realized, which stimulates the eating habits of the bass etc. and also induces the reaction bite. It has a special effect that it is easy to do.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned special effect, in the tail for lure of the present invention, the main body is made colorless or unpatterned transparent, or colored or unpatterned transparent, colorless or patterned, or colored pattern. Since it is possible to select various variations such as with, it is possible to perform fishing corresponding to various factors such as field conditions, time zone, water temperature, sunlight, current, shade, natural bait, etc. Will be. Further, in particular, according to the tail according to the present invention, in which the tail body is substantially bifurcated and the upper portion thereof is molded to have a larger outer shape than the lower portion, the behavior is soft and has a large amount of change with the movement of the lure body. There is a special advantage that it is easy to increase the activity of the bath or the like, and further, when only the trailing edge portion of the main body of the tail is colored, the above effect is further enhanced.

Next, an embodiment when the present invention is applied to a big bait will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the lure 1 according to the present embodiment is detachably attached to a lure body 2 made of a fish-shaped hard material (ABS resin) or the like and a rear end portion of the lure body 2. A line (not shown) is fastened to a tail 4 having rubber-like elasticity made of silicone rubber, elastomer, etc., and three hook eyes 5 attached to the lower part of the lure body 2 to attach a hook (not shown). In order to do so, it has a line eye 10 or the like fixed to the tip portion (head portion) of the lure body 2.

In the present embodiment, the lure body 2 is separated into a total of three places between the tip portion (head side portion) and the rear end portion (tail side portion), and is separated from the head side portion 2A and the two middle portions 2B and 2C. The tail side portion 2D is divided into four parts, and adjacent members are swingable in the horizontal direction by a pair of upper and lower joint members 6. Further, general weights (not shown) are accommodated inside each of the head side portion 2A and the middle portions 2B and 2C, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5, the tail 4 is fitted into the recess 2a at the rear end of the tail side portion 2D of the lure body 2 as in the existing lure of this type. From the substantially plate-shaped mounting portion 4b that can be engaged and detached via the stopper pin P1, the base portion 4c connected to the rear side of the mounting portion 4b, and the caudal fin-shaped tail body 4a extending rearward from the base portion 4c. The tail body 4a is a film having a rubber-like elasticity of 2 mm or less having a substantially uniform thickness, and in the present embodiment, it has a substantially bifurcated shape divided in the vertical direction when viewed from the side surface. More specifically, the tail body 4a has a substantially bifurcated shape in which the upper portion 4A has a larger outer shape than the lower portion 4B, and is formed into a non-patterned, non-colored transparent film. ing. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form, and may be colored or patterned as described later.

That is, as seen in FIG. 6 and the like, the tail 4 is changed to various different configurations depending on the specifications of the lure 1, for example, only the trailing edge portion of the lure body 4a having the same shape as the lure body 4a. In some cases, a colored portion 3 having a predetermined width may be provided on the lure, and in this case, the colored portion 3 has an effect that the shape change of the lure body 4a in water visually appeals to a bath or the like.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, each lure body 24a, 34a, 44a, 54a shown in FIG. 7 described above may be provided with a line pattern LP radially from the base side thereof toward the rear.
(performance test)

Next, a test comparing the performance of the tail according to the embodiment with the performance of the conventional tail will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the tail 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the main body 4a is in the form of a film having rubber-like elasticity having a uniform overall thickness of about 1.4 mm. When the lure body 2 is turned down and the tail 4 is turned up, the tail body 4a naturally hangs downward due to the attractive force.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, the conventional tail has a thick base portion of the main body having a thickness of more than 2 mm and a shape in which the thickness gradually decreases toward the trailing edge side. When the tail is turned up and down, the tail body stands upright. Therefore, the difference in morphological characteristics from the tail 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention is clear.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 12 (a) to 12 (j), when the tail 4 according to the present invention is moved left and right, it is visually recognized that the tail body 4a is curved left and right and swings greatly with respect to a bus or the like. It can be confirmed that it shows a great appeal.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) to 13 (h), if the tail of the conventional example is moved to the left or right, it can be visually recognized that the tail body is almost straight and swings only slightly to the left or right, such as a bus. It is clearly recognized that the appealing power to is small.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14, when the runout state of the tail body 4a according to the present invention (FIG. 14A) and the runout state of the tail body according to the conventional example (FIG. 14B) are compared, the difference between the two is Remarkably recognized.

As described above, the tail for a lure according to the present invention swings violently while being soft with the movement of the lure body, and can produce a variety of various movements, so that it easily stimulates the activity and eating habits of bass and the like. Since it is possible to do this, it can be expected to be widely used in bass fishing and the like.
