DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fish collecting apparatus, and more particularly to a light emitting lure which effectively collects fish near a fishing hook and realizes good fishing results when night fishing or a fish in a deep area of the sea. About.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a light source using a miniature light bulb or light emission by a chemical reaction is arranged near a fishhook when night fishing or a fish in a deep and dark area is caught, and the light emitted from the light source to the surroundings causes the fish to be fished. A fishing device intended to attract fish and improve fishing results has been used. In addition, it has been known to use a pseudo bait in which a light-emitting paint is applied to an outer shell or a pseudo bait in which a main body itself emits light. However, the light emitted from the light source or the artificial bait body in such a conventional fish collecting device has no directivity, the light is distributed around the light source in a random manner, and there is almost no movement. In many cases, even when this was used, it was often impossible to obtain the desired fishing results. Alternatively, a strong light source is installed on a fishing boat, and illumination light is radiated from the fishing boat toward the bottom of the sea. However, since illumination light reaches only a relatively shallow area,
The effect can be expected only for fish in such a shallow region, and in the case of night fishing that requires such a fishing method, fish are usually less likely to be in a shallow region. Moreover, such a light having a strong light source installed on a ship has a problem that it is not easy to use because it becomes a large-scale device itself.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems.
Provide a light emitting lure with a simple structure and a simple structure that effectively gathers fish near the fishhook and realizes good fishing results, especially when fishing at night or when catching fish in deep and dark areas. It is in.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a light-emitting lure according to the present invention has an outer shell made of a material for sealing light, and a light source engaged with a main streak of a fishing line;
The general shape is a cylindrical or columnar shape, one end of which receives illumination light from the light source, and the other end opposite to the one end is formed in a shape branched radially into a plurality of branches, A light guide member that guides the illumination light to each end surface of each branch opposite to the one end and emits the illumination light to the outside from each end surface of each branch; The streak engaged with the streak is guided around the outer shell of the light source, and the fishing hook at the tip of the streak is positioned farther from the light source than the end surface of each branch of the light guide member. A hole formed in the light guide member or an annular guide member attached to a side surface of the light guide member. In addition,
As the material of the light guide member, for example, a transparent silicone tube or a wire made of a transparent synthetic resin or glass fiber can be suitably used. At this time, as a method of forming each of the branches, for example, the tip of a silicone tube or a synthetic resin wire is divided vertically,
If each of the subdivided branches is formed by processing, for example, by bending it into the shape of a squid, it can be formed extremely easily. That is, the light emitting lure of the present invention can be manufactured at a particularly low cost. In addition, the shape of the light guide member is desirably a column or a cylinder in which the other end, that is, the light-emitting end, is radially branched. Alternatively, a plurality of optical fibers may be bundled and held inside the substantially cylindrical body, and the tip may be formed to be radially spread outward from the end of the cylindrical body. Also, it goes without saying that it may be formed not only in a columnar shape but also in a polygonal column shape or a column shape having different diameters at one end and the other end. Further, a notch having a cross section having an angle equal to or greater than the critical angle of refraction of the light guide member is cut in the middle of the cylindrical or columnar body of the light guide member, and the illumination light is formed at the notch. May be emitted to the outside. For example, it is assumed that the body of the light guide member has a shape corresponding to the body of a simulated bait simulating squid or small fish, and the cutout portion is simulated as a portion that looks shining like an eye or a phosphorescent portion of a squid. You can also. Furthermore, by forming each branched branch of the light guide member into a radial shape curved like a foot of a squid or an octopus, the branch of the fish can be recognized as a squid or an insect, for example. Since the end portion becomes a pseudo bait that shines like phosphorescence, the light emitting lure of the present invention can also be used as a lure for night fishing. Alternatively, by dispersing the tip of each branch in such a manner, to obtain an effective fish-collecting effect, for example, as a simulated bait that simulates a small fish and a microscopic organism floating while emitting phosphorescence around it. Can also. As the light source, for example, a miniature light bulb or a light source using a chemical reaction can be used. However, at this time, it is desirable that the light source be formed in a structure that does not emit light except in the direction of the light guide member and the fishhook. This is to make the fish collecting effect by emitting light at the tip of the light guide member more effective. The preferred position of the fishing hook is about 1 to 1 in the vicinity of the end surface of the light guide member that emits light.
About 40 cm is generally preferred. Since the optimum position is different for each fish to be caught, it may be appropriately changed according to the type of fish. As the position of this fishing hook, if it is too close to the light guide member, in the case of a large fish etc., the light guide member is also cut off when the fish bites,
Alternatively, there is a possibility of damage, and conversely, a fish collecting effect may be reduced at a position that is too far away. Therefore, it is needless to say that the fish collecting effect may be appropriately determined in the above-mentioned preferred position in consideration of these. Next, the operation of the above means will be described. In conventional luminous artificial baits and lighting devices used for night fishing, etc., light was emitted indiscriminately around the device, so the effect of collecting fish did not necessarily reach the catch of fish, and in fact the improvement of fishing results was improved. It was difficult. However, according to the present invention, only the distal end portion of the light guide member emits light, and a large number of the light are scattered in the vicinity of the hook, so that the effect of collecting fish can be effectively linked to the fishing result. Furthermore, the lure according to the present invention, combined with imitating the shape of the light guide member and the outer shell of the lighting device and the shape of the light guide member to the shape of a small squid, a small fish, an insect, etc., which are preferred by fish, The scattered state of the light-emitting points at the ends of the branches is equivalent to the phosphorescent portion of small squids, small fish and insects, and the light of the eyeballs. As described above, the light-emitting lure according to the present invention is a fake bait that is extremely realistic not only in its shape but also in its light emission state when fishing in a dark area such as at night or in the deep sea. Since the fishing hook can be pulled and the fishing hook is arranged near the light emitting point, the fishing action can be effectively linked to the fishing result. Further, in the lure of the present invention, since the leading streak is not directly connected to the outer shell of the light source or the light guide member but is bypassed and provided from the original streak, even if the fish is pulled too strongly. Even if the streak is cut off by the fish (taken by the fish), only the streak is lost, but the important lure body, ie the outer shell of the light source and the light guide member, remain connected to the original streak Can be left. Therefore,
The probability of loss of the main body is low and it is economical.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a light emitting lure according to the present invention. (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a view showing a light emitting lure of a first embodiment according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, in order to show the internal structure of the light source unit, the portion is shown in a sectional view.
The light-emitting lure according to the first embodiment has an outer shell formed in a structure that seals light, and is formed from a light source unit 3 connected to a hanging ring 2 on a base line 1 of a fishing line, and a columnar synthetic resin. One end 4 receives the light from the light source unit 3, and the received light is split into a plurality of radially branched ends at the other end opposite to the one end 4. 6 and a light guide member 7 for emitting light from each end face to the outside.
And guides the leading streak 8 engaged with the main streak 1 of the fishing line via the hinge 2 ′ around the outer shell of the light source 3, and attaches the fishing hook 9 disposed at the tip of the leading streak 8 to the aforementioned An annular guide member 10 attached to a side surface of the light guide member 7 and located farther than the end surface 6 of each branch 5 of the light guide member 7 when viewed from the light source 3 constitutes a main part thereof. I have. Light source 3
Is formed so that outer shells 301a and 301b having an airtight structure without water leakage and a structure that does not leak light to the outside are vertically combined, and each of the outer shells 301a and 301b is screwed together so as to be screwed together. A thread groove is formed in the engaging portion.
The outer shells 301a and 301b are hermetically connected by the screw grooves. Inside the outer shells 301a and 301b, a battery 302 and a miniature lamp 303 arranged such that when the battery 302 is set inside the outer shells 301a and 301b, the anode contact of the battery 302 contacts the buttocks. And a connection fitting 304 which is in contact with the cathode contact surface of the battery 302 and which is in contact with the body of the miniature lamp 303, and constitutes a main part of the internal structure of the light source unit 3. In the light source unit 3 having such a structure, when the light emitting lure of the present invention is used, when the battery 302 is set and the outer shells 301a and 301b are connected, the battery 302 and the miniature lamp 303 are electrically connected to each other, 303 emits light. The light guide member 7 is arranged so that one end 4 faces the miniature bulb 303 of the light source unit 3. The miniature bulb 30
The light emitted from 3 enters from one end 4 of the light guide member 7 and is guided to the end face 6 of each branch 5 through the main pillar portion of the light guide member 7. Then, the light is emitted from the end face 6 to the outside, and emits light such as phosphorescence or reflected light of microorganisms and insects floating in water. Near the end face 6 of each branch 5 of the light guide member 7 that emits such scattered light, a fishing hook 9 at the tip of a leading streak 8 guided by a guide member 10 is arranged. Further, in this embodiment, a small dot-shaped notch 11 is formed in the main pillar portion of the light guide member 7. Notch 11
Are engraved so that the engraved surface has an inclined surface having an angle larger than the critical angle of light refractive index of the surface of the light guide member 7. Therefore, a part of the light transmitted through the light guide member 7 is notched 1
The light is emitted to the outside by 1 and emits a point light. Therefore, the notch 11 appears to shine in dark water like eyes of small squid, small fish and insects floating in the water. Thereby, the light emitting lure according to the present invention becomes more realistic as a pseudo bait. (Embodiment 2) As the light guide member of the light emitting lure according to the present invention, in addition to the light guide member 7 formed of the columnar synthetic resin shown in the first embodiment, a cylinder as shown in FIG. A light guide member 201 formed of a highly transparent silicone rubber tube and having its tip divided into a plurality of tubes may be used. In FIG. 2, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. At this time, instead of the annular guide member 10 in the first embodiment, a guide hole 202 is formed in a side surface of the light guide member 201 as shown in FIG. The light guide member 201 may pass through the inside of the tube of the light guide member 201 to a lower portion thereof from the guide hole 202. That is, the guide hole 202
The inside of the tube of the light guide member 201 may be used as a guide member. Even in this case, even if the hook 9
And even when the leading streak 8 is cut off by the fish (taken by the fish), the leading streak 8 is lost, but the important lure body, that is, the light source unit 3 and the light guide member 7 are connected to the original streak 1. You can leave it as it is. Therefore, the probability of loss of the light source unit 3 and the light guide member 201, which are the lure main body, is extremely small and is economical. In addition, since the guide member 10 in the first embodiment can be omitted, there is an advantage that the structure is simple and the manufacturing can be performed at low cost. (Embodiment 3) As the light guide member of the light emitting lure according to the present invention, in addition to the light guide member 7 and the light guide member 201 shown in the first and second embodiments, a cylindrical and highly transparent member is used. A bundle of a plurality of light guide members 401 such as glass fibers as shown in FIG. 3 in a hollow inside a light guide member 201 formed of a silicone rubber tube and having its tip divided into a plurality of tubes. The light guide member 402 formed by filling may be used. At this time, the annular guide member 10 in the first embodiment may be used as a guide for leading the leading streaks 8. In FIG. 3, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Each light guide material 4
The end portion 403 of 01 is curved so that each end face 404 is scattered around the fishing hook 9 in the vicinity thereof. Also, the tip of the light guide member 201 is formed to be curved as in the above-described embodiment. By forming in this manner, the light emitting point is formed at each end face 40 of the front end of the light guide member 402.
4 and each end face 6 at the end of the light guide member 201 are scattered doubly, and in addition to the above-described embodiment, the light emitting point becomes more prominent in a wide range, so that the effect of collecting fish can be further enhanced, The bite of fish is further improved. Alternatively, it is needless to say that the light guide member 201 may be omitted in FIG. 3 and a light guide member in which only a plurality of light guide members 401 such as glass fibers are bundled. In this case, the light guide members 401 may be bonded to each other with an adhesive or the like, or may be bundled using the guide member 10 as a band. In each of the above embodiments,
Although the shapes of the outer shells 301a and 301b of the light source unit 3 are substantially spindle-shaped, the shape of the light source unit 3 according to the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a small squid body or small fish may be formed. Needless to say, the light source unit 3 is not limited to the structure shown as an example in the above embodiment. In addition, it goes without saying that, instead of the miniature bulb 303, for example, an LED or a light emitting substance which emits light by a chemical reaction can be used.

As described in the detailed description above, according to the present invention, fish can be effectively collected near the hook when fishing at night or fishing in a deep dark area. It is possible to provide a light emitting lure having a simple structure and high simplicity which realizes good fishing results.
