Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a fishing lure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, a lure is used for lure fishing in place of using a bait corresponding to a target fish when fishing. A variety of lures are provided according to the target fish and the fishing method, and a so-called plug-type bait, which simulates the shape of a small fish, is known as one of the lures.

[0003] The plug-type bait is suitable for a target fish, such as a freshwater fish, such as a black bass, a sea bass, a yellowtail, and a fish that eats a small fish, for example, and is used differently according to the action when winding a fishing line, the buoyancy, the diving depth (floating range), and the like.

[0004] Such a lure generally mainly has a first lure body and a second lure body, which constitute a lure body simulating a small fish by being attached to each other via an attachment surface, and a wire frame, which is sandwiched between the first lure body and the second lure body.

[0005] The wire frame is, for example, a metal wire made of a rust-resistant material, such as stainless steel, and a part thereof is subjected to bending processing, and functions as, for example, a fishing line hole for connecting a fishing line and a hook eye for connecting a hook. The wire frame is assembled inside the lure body in a state in which at least the fishing line hole and the hook eye are exposed to the outside.

[0006] For example, a lure is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, which has a lure body constituted by combining a first lure body and a second lure body by using a plurality of pins, and a wire frame assembled to the lure body in a state in which it is exposed to the bottom surface side of the lure body, a part of which functions as a fishing line hole and a hook eye. The wire frame is assembled in a manner of being engaged with the pins, and is thereby appropriately held to the lure body.

[0007] A lure is disclosed in Patent Document 2 below, which has a lure body constituted by combining a first lure body and a second lure body by using a plurality of pins, a weight receiving portion formed in a portion of the attachment surface of the first lure body and the attachment surface of the second lure body, which is located at the tail portion (tail fin portion) of the lure body, and a wire frame assembled to the lure body, a part of which functions as a fishing line hole and a hook eye. The wire frame is assembled in a manner of being engaged with the pins, and is thereby appropriately held to the lure body. Further, a weight is integrally formed on the wire frame so as to be embedded in the weight receiving portion.

[0011] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[0012] Generally, in the case of using a lure of a hook type, when a fish is hooked (a fish bites a hook), an external force from the fish is transmitted to the hook hole through the hook, and thus the hook hole is likely to violently collide with the lure body. At this time, since the wire frame including the hook hole is disposed between the first lure body and the second lure body, in the case where a large external force is transmitted to the hook hole through the hook, the hook hole violently collides with the lure body instantaneously or continuously. Accordingly, the lure body can be divided into two parts in a manner that the engaging surfaces of the first lure body and the second lure body are split.

[0013] In this regard, the same is true for the lure described in Patent Literature 1, in which the hook hole located at the tail of the lure body is fitted into the receiving groove formed in the engaging surfaces of the first lure body and the second lure body. Thus, when an external force from the fish is applied to the hook hole located at the tail of the lure body, the hook hole violently collides with the two engaging surfaces to split them. Accordingly, the lure body can be divided into two parts.

[0014] The same is true for the lure described in Patent Literature 2, in which the hook hole located at the tail of the lure body is fitted into the weight receiving portion formed in the engaging surfaces of the first lure body and the second lure body together with the weight. Thus, when an external force from the fish is applied to the hook hole located at the tail of the lure body, the external force is transmitted to the lure body from the hook hole through the weight, and thus the lure body can be divided into two parts in a manner that the two engaging surfaces are split.

[0015] The present invention has been achieved in view of this situation, and aims to provide a lure in which transmission of an external force from a wire including a hole to a lure body is suppressed even when the external force is transmitted to the wire.

[0016] [Technical Solution for Solving the Problems]

[0017] (1) The present application relates to a lure for fishing, having a hollow lure body, a wire, and a buffer member, wherein the lure body is composed of a first lure body having a first joint surface and a second lure body having a second joint surface which is fitted to the first joint surface, the wire has a hole through which a fishing line or a hook can be connected, and is integrally assembled to the lure body, the buffer member is provided between the lure body and the wire, the wire is held between the first lure body and the second lure body by the buffer member in a state in which the wire is exposed to the outside of the lure body through the hole, and is movable with respect to the buffer member, and the buffer member is arranged in contact with both the first lure body and the second lure body.

[0018] According to the present application, the wire having the hole is held between the first lure body and the second lure body by the buffer member arranged in contact with both the first lure body and the second lure body. Therefore, the wire can be prevented from directly contacting the lure body (the first lure body and the second lure body) by the buffer member. Therefore, for example, when a fish is hooked, even if an external force is transmitted from the target fish to the hole to move the wire with respect to the lure body and the buffer member, the wire can be prevented from directly colliding with the lure body.

[0019] Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an adverse situation in which the lure body is divided in a manner that the lure body is split by the first joint surface and the second joint surface due to the wire violently colliding with the lure body as in the prior art. That is, the external force (external force from the target fish) transmitted from the wire to the lure body can be moderated and dispersed by the buffer member. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the transmission of the external force to the first joint surface and the second joint surface, and thus it is possible to achieve a lure body that is less likely to be cracked by the separation of the first lure body and the second lure body. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a lure with long-term stable quality.

[0020] In addition, since the wire is movable with respect to the buffer member, the wire can be combined in a state that allows the wire to sway with respect to the buffer member. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the wire including the hole can be ensured, and for example, when a fish is hooked, the wire can be displaced according to the movement of the target fish. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a lure in which the target fish is less likely to be unhooked.

[0021] (2) The buffer member can have a first buffer portion and a second buffer portion arranged facing each other with the wire therebetween.

[0022] In this case, the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion are arranged so as to face each other with the line interposed therebetween, and thus, even if the line moves with respect to the buffer member due to an external force from the target fish, the line is easily brought into contact with the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion. Therefore, the line is easily further prevented from directly colliding with the artificial bait by the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion.

[0023] (3) The buffer member can have a connecting portion connecting the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion, and the line can be arranged in a housing space surrounded by the first buffer portion, the second buffer portion, and the connecting portion.

[0024] In this case, since the line can be arranged in the housing space surrounded by the first buffer portion, the second buffer portion, and the connecting portion, the buffer member can be arranged so as to surround the line. Therefore, even if the line moves with respect to the buffer member due to an external force from the target fish, the line can be effectively prevented from directly colliding with the artificial bait. Further, the buffer member can be configured as one piece by the first buffer portion, the second buffer portion, and the connecting portion, and thus, the buffer member is easily handled, and for example, the assembly work of the artificial bait and the like can be efficiently performed.

[0025] (4) The artificial bait can have an external communication hole formed so as to surround the buffer member, and the hole can be exposed from the inside of the artificial bait to the outside, a first contacted surface facing the first buffer portion and a second contacted surface facing the second buffer portion can be formed on the inner surface of the external communication hole, a first contact surface contacting the first contacted surface can be formed on the outer surface of the first buffer portion, and a second contact surface contacting the second contacted surface can be formed on the outer surface of the second buffer portion.

[0026] In this case, the buffer member is arranged inside the external communication hole in a state where the first contact portion is in contact with the first contacted surface and the second contact surface is in contact with the second contacted surface, and thus, the buffer member can be appropriately combined with the artificial bait without, for example, being positionally displaced. Therefore, for example, the buffer member is less likely to be rotated with respect to the artificial bait and the like. Thus, the buffer member can be arranged between the artificial bait and the line in a state where the posture of the buffer member is stabilized. Therefore, the buffer member can appropriately function as a buffer member that suppresses the line from directly colliding with the artificial bait.

[0027] (5) The artificial bait can have a head portion, a belly portion, and a tail portion, and the buffer member can be arranged in at least one of the head portion, the belly portion, and the tail portion.

[0028] In this case, even in a case where the hole in the line material functions as, for example, a fishing line hole capable of connecting a fishing line, a hook hole capable of connecting a hook provided on the ventral side of the artificial bait (so-called front hook), or a hook hole capable of connecting a hook provided on the caudal side of the artificial bait (so-called rear hook), the line material can be inhibited from directly colliding with the artificial bait by the buffer member, and thus the external force transmitted from the line material to the artificial bait can be moderated and dispersed.

[0029] (6) The line material can be held between the first artificial bait and the second artificial bait in a state in which the line material is disposed from the head portion to the tail portion via the belly portion.

[0030] In this case, the line material is disposed inside the artificial bait from the head portion to the tail portion via the belly portion, and thus the line material can be held by the first artificial bait and the second artificial bait in a wide range, and thus the line material can be firmly assembled to the artificial bait.

[0031] (7) The buffer member can be fixed to the artificial bait.

[0032] In this case, the buffer member is fixed to the artificial bait, for example, by adhesion, fusion, or the like, and thus, for example, the buffer member can be prevented from being inadvertently displaced, for example, by sliding or rotating with respect to the artificial bait, or from being detached from the artificial bait, and the like.

[0033] (8) A swing portion can be provided inside the artificial bait, the swing portion being installed to the artificial bait in a movable manner with respect to the artificial bait and having a reflector that reflects light from the outside, and the artificial bait can be configured to enable the light reflected by the reflector to be visually confirmed from the outside.

[0034] In this case, the swing portion provided inside the artificial bait can be swung, for example, in a vibrating manner, for example, by an action by the fishing line or the like. Thus, the state of the light reflected by the reflector (reflected light) can be changed, and thus the manner in which the light is visually presented can be changed. Thus, the object fish can be visually confirmed to be emitting light as if the artificial bait were emitting light. Accordingly, the artificial bait can effectively lure the object fish, and thus the artificial bait can easily improve the catch rate of the object fish.

[0035] (9) The swing portion can be installed to the artificial bait by an elastic member and can vibrate with respect to the artificial bait.

[0036] In this case, the swing portion is installed inside the artificial bait by the elastic member, and thus, for example, even in a case where the action by the fishing line is stopped or the movement of water or a tide is stopped, the swing portion can be kept in a movable state rather than being immediately stopped. Thus, the lure of the object fish can be continuously performed, and thus the catch rate can be easily improved.

[0037] (10) Alternatively, a counterweight and a force-applying component may be provided inside the lure body, wherein the counterweight is movable relative to the lure body, the force-applying component undergoes elastic deformation along with the movement of the counterweight and applies force to the counterweight by elastic recovery deformation, and the counterweight moves at least when the lure is cast, so that the force-applying component undergoes elastic deformation.

[0038] In this scenario, the lure is launched into flight, and a counterweight located inside the lure moves within the lure body due to inertia, causing the force-applying component to elastically deform. Furthermore, during the latter part of the flight, as the lure's speed decreases, the counterweight can return to its original position via the elastic restoring force of the force-applying component.

[0039] This allows the counterweight to move appropriately according to the acceleration and velocity acting on the lure during casting, thus appropriately changing the overall center of gravity of the lure. Therefore, the lure's flight posture can be maintained at an optimal position based on flight conditions, thereby extending the flight distance. Consequently, even with light throwing force, the lure can be efficiently propelled further, resulting in an easy-to-use lure.

[0040] Invention Effects

[0041] According to the lure of the present invention, even if external force is transmitted to the line including the hole due to the fish taking the bait, the external force transmitted from the line to the lure body can be mitigated and dispersed, thereby suppressing the transmission of external force to the lure body.

Detailed Implementation

[0053] (First Embodiment)

[0054] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the artificial bait according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] In this embodiment, the lure is a saltlure used for sea fishing that mimics the shape of small fish such as sardines. A pencil bait type lure, which is used as a topwate lure, will be used as an example for explanation.

[0056] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the lure (fishing lure) 1 of this embodiment includes: a lure body 4, which is formed by combining a first lure body 2 and a second lure body 3; a line 6, which is attached to the lure body 4 and has a plurality of holes 5; and a buffer member 7, which is disposed between the lure body 4 and the line 6. Furthermore, in Figure 1 The diagrams of fishing line L, front hook 8, and rear hook 9, which will be described later, are omitted from the attached figures except for those shown below.

[0057] The dummy bait 4 is an outer shape that simulates the shape of a small fish, and is connected to a fishing line (fishing line) L that is cast from an unillustrated fishing rod. In the present embodiment, a direction along the length direction of the dummy bait 4 is defined as a front-rear direction LI, and a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction LI and the up-down direction is defined as a left-right direction (dummy bait width direction) L2. Also, in the front-rear direction LI, a direction from the dummy bait 4 toward the fishing line L is referred to as the front direction, and the opposite direction is defined as the rear direction.

[0058] (Dummy bait)

[0059] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the dummy bait 4 is an outer shape that simulates the shape of a small fish that is a fish bait, and the front portion side is a head (head according to the present invention) 10, and the rear portion side is a tail (tail according to the present invention) 11. The lower side portion between the head 10 and the tail 11 in the dummy bait 4 is an abdomen (abdominal fin portion) 12, and the upper side portion is a back (back fin portion) 13.

[0060] The material of the dummy bait 4 is not limited to a particular material, and for example, a synthetic resin material such as ABS resin, a metal material, a high buoyancy material such as a rigid foam material, or the like can be used. Also, the dummy bait 4 need not be formed of a so-called hard material, and can be formed of a so-called soft material such as an elastomer. Also, various painting, surface treatment, or the like can be performed on the outer surface of the dummy bait 4 as needed.

[0061] The dummy bait 4 of the present embodiment is configured by the first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 being combined from the left-right direction L2.

[0062] The first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 are formed so that the outer shapes are left-right symmetrical to each other. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 are assembled in one body with an imaginary surface (imaginary vertical surface) V that passes through the center of the left-right direction L2 of the dummy bait 4 and is parallel to the front-rear direction LI and the up-down direction as a boundary surface. That is, the first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 are connected in one body with the imaginary surface V as a so-called combination surface.

[0063] In the present embodiment, when the left and right are defined from the viewpoint of viewing the dummy bait 4 from the rear, one divided dummy bait located on the right side (RH) is taken as the first dummy bait 2, and the other divided dummy bait located on the left side (LH) is taken as the second dummy bait 3.

[0064] As shown in Figures 2-4As shown, the first dummy bait 2 has a first joint surface 15 which is along the imaginary surface V and faces the left side (LH) which is the side of the second dummy bait 3, and is formed along the outer shape of the first dummy bait 2. Also, the second dummy bait 3 has a second joint surface 16 which is along the imaginary surface V and faces the right side (RH) which is the side of the first dummy bait 2, and is formed along the outer shape of the second dummy bait 3.

[0065] The first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 are combined as one in a state where the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 face each other.

[0066] The first dummy bait 2 will be described in detail.

[0067] As shown, Figure 4 As described earlier, the first joint surface 15 is formed on the first dummy bait 2 in a manner along the outer shape of the first dummy bait 2. That is, the first joint surface 15 is formed continuously along the head portion 10, the abdomen portion 12, the tail portion 11, and the back portion 13 of the first dummy bait 2. Accordingly, in a side view of the first dummy bait 2 from the left side (LH), a hollow cavity 20 surrounded by the first joint surface 15 is formed on the inner side of the first dummy bait 2.

[0068] In the example shown, three hollow cavities 20 are divided in the front and back direction Ll by a first rib 21 on the side of the head portion 10 and a second rib 22 on the side of the tail portion 11. The first rib 21 and the second rib 22 extend in the up and down direction, are formed long in the vertical direction, and are formed in a manner that the upper end portion and the lower end portion are connected to the first joint surface 15 as one.

[0069] In addition, the hollow cavities 20 on the front side of the first rib 21 are the front hollow cavities 23, the hollow cavities 20 on the back side of the second rib 22 are the back hollow cavities 24, and the hollow cavities 20 between the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 are the central hollow cavities 25. In the example shown, the central hollow cavities 25 are formed so that the inner volume is larger than the front hollow cavities 23 and the back hollow cavities 24.

[0070] In addition, in the present embodiment, a case where three hollow cavities 20 are divided by the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 is described as an example, but the number of ribs is not limited to two, and can be one, or three or more can be formed. Accordingly, for example, two or four or more hollow cavities 20 can be divided. However, the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 are not necessary, and the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 can not be provided.

[0071] The second dummy bait 3 is configured similarly to the first dummy bait 2 described above, and therefore detailed description is omitted.

[0072] Also, as shown,Figures 1-3 As shown, the first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 are combined as one body in a state where the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 are aligned with each other, as described previously, thereby constituting the dummy bait 4. In addition, when the first dummy bait 2 and the second dummy bait 3 are combined, various joining methods such as pin joining using a plurality of pins, adhesive bonding using an adhesive, and the like can be employed. Also, the inside of the dummy bait 4 is of a hollow structure having a front hollow cavity 23, a rear hollow cavity 24, and a central hollow cavity 25.

[0073] Also, on the dummy bait 4 of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 a plurality of external communication holes for respectively exposing a plurality of holes 5 formed on the wire 6 to the outside are formed.

[0074] Specifically, a front communication hole 30 that penetrates the dummy bait 4 in the front-rear direction LI is formed in the head portion 10 of the dummy bait 4. The front communication hole 30 is formed in a manner that penetrates the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 at the foremost portion of the dummy bait 4 in the front-rear direction LI, and communicates the outside and the front hollow cavity 23.

[0075] Also, a jaw portion communication hole 31 that penetrates the dummy bait 4 in the up-down direction is formed in a portion of the dummy bait 4 that corresponds to the shape of the jaw portion of the simulated small fish. The jaw portion communication hole 31 is formed in a manner that penetrates the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 at a position between the front communication hole 30 and the first rib 21 in the up-down direction, and communicates the outside and the front hollow cavity 23.

[0076] Also, a rear communication hole (external communication hole according to the present invention) 32 that penetrates the dummy bait 4 in the front-rear direction LI is formed in the tail portion 11 of the dummy bait 4. The rear communication hole 32 is formed in a manner that penetrates the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 at the rearmost portion of the dummy bait 4 in the front-rear direction LI, and communicates the outside and the rear hollow cavity 24.

[0077] Also, in the belly portion 12 of the dummy bait 4, a first belly portion communication hole 33 and a second belly portion communication hole 34 that open downward are formed at intervals in the front-rear direction LI. The first belly portion communication hole 33 and the second belly portion communication hole 34 are formed in a manner that communicate respectively in the first wire groove 35 and the second wire groove 36 formed in the portions of the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 that are located at the belly portion 12.

[0078] The first wire groove 35 and the second wire groove 36 are accommodation grooves for receiving the wire 6, and are formed in the portions of the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 that are located at the belly portion 12.

[0079] Specifically, the first wire groove 35 is provided in the portion of the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 between the jaw communicating hole 31 and the first abdominal communicating hole 33, and is formed along the abdomen 12 in a manner communicating with the inside of the jaw communicating hole 31 and the inside of the first abdominal communicating hole 33. The second wire groove 36 is provided in the portion of the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 between the second abdominal communicating hole 34 and the rear hollow cavity 24, and is formed along the abdomen 12 in a manner communicating with the inside of the second abdominal communicating hole 34 and the inside of the rear hollow cavity 24.

[0080] (wire)

[0081] The wire 6 is formed by bending processing a metal wire having rust resistance such as stainless steel, and is formed with a plurality of holes 5 to which a fishing line L or a hook is connected. The plurality of holes 5 are constituted by a portion of the wire 6 being formed in a circular or semicircular shape. In particular, the wire 6 of the present embodiment is formed in a manner extending in the front-rear direction Ll in a state having four holes 5 by bending processing one long metal wire.

[0082] The wire 6 is combined to the dummy bait body 4 by being housed in the first wire groove 35 and the second wire groove 36 in a state in which a portion of the four holes 5 is exposed to the outside of the dummy bait body 4. Accordingly, the wire 6 is held between the first dummy bait body 2 and the second dummy bait body 3 in a state in which it is disposed from the head 10 to the abdomen 12 to the tail 11.

[0083] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hole 5 of the plurality of holes 5 exposed to the front side of the dummy bait body 4 through the front communicating hole 30 functions as a fishing line hole 40 for connecting the fishing line L from the fishing rod. In the example shown in the drawing, a case in which the fishing line L is directly connected to the fishing line hole 40 is shown, but for example, a connecting member such as a swivel can be used to connect the fishing line L to the fishing line hole 40. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hole 5 of the plurality of holes 5 exposed to the front side of the dummy bait body 4 through the front communicating hole 30 functions as a fishing line hole 40 for connecting the fishing line L from the fishing rod. In the example shown in the drawing, a case in which the fishing line L is directly connected to the fishing line hole 40 is shown, but for example, a connecting member such as a swivel can be used to connect the fishing line L to the fishing line hole 40.

[0084] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hole 5 of the plurality of holes 5 exposed to the front side of the dummy bait body 4 through the front communicating hole 30 functions as a fishing line hole 40 for connecting the fishing line L from the fishing rod. In the example shown in the drawing, a case in which the fishing line L is directly connected to the fishing line hole 40 is shown, but for example, a connecting member such as a swivel can be used to connect the fishing line L to the fishing line hole 40.

[0085] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hole 5 of the plurality of holes 5 exposed to the front side of the dummy bait body 4 through the front communicating hole 30 functions as a fishing line hole 40 for connecting the fishing line L from the fishing rod. In the example shown in the drawing, a case in which the fishing line L is directly connected to the fishing line hole 40 is shown, but for example, a connecting member such as a swivel can be used to connect the fishing line L to the fishing line hole 40.

[0086] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hole 5 of the plurality of holes 5 exposed to the front side of the dummy bait body 4 through the front communicating hole 30 functions as a fishing line hole 40 for connecting the fishing line L from the fishing rod. In the example shown in the drawing, a case in which the fishing line L is directly connected to the fishing line hole 40 is shown, but for example, a connecting member such as a swivel can be used to connect the fishing line L to the fishing line hole 40. Figure 4As shown, the front first end portion 6a of the wire 6 is housed in the front hollow cavity 23 and is caught in a catch portion or the like, not shown. The rear second end portion 6b of the wire 6 is housed in the rear hollow cavity 24 and is caught in a catch portion or the like, not shown.

[0087] Thus, the wire 6 is held between the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3 in a state in which the wire front portion 45 including the first end portion 6a is disposed in the front hollow cavity 23, the wire rear portion 46 including the second end portion 6b is disposed in the rear hollow cavity 24, and the wire intermediate portion 47 is housed in the first wire groove 35 and the second wire groove 36.

[0088] Here, the wire rear portion 46 disposed in the rear hollow cavity 24 will be described in detail.

[0089] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the wire rear portion 46 is formed so as to protrude from the second wire groove 36 into the rear hollow cavity 24 through the rear communication hole 32 toward the rear of the lure 4, be bent into a circular shape, and then enter the rear hollow cavity 24 through the rear communication hole 32. Figure 4 Figure 5 As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the wire rear portion 46 is formed so as to protrude from the second wire groove 36 into the rear hollow cavity 24 through the rear communication hole 32 toward the rear of the lure 4, be bent into a circular shape, and then enter the rear hollow cavity 24 through the rear communication hole 32.

[0090] The portion of the wire rear portion 46 thus configured that extends from the second wire groove 36 into the rear hollow cavity 24 and then from the rear communication hole 32 toward the rear of the lure 4 will be referred to as a first wire portion 46a. Also, the portion that is formed into a circular shape at the rear of the lure 4 functions as the rear hook hole 43 described above. Thus, the rear hook hole 43 is formed in a manner continuous with the first wire portion 46a. Also, the portion that is formed in a manner continuous with the rear hook hole 43 and enters the rear hollow cavity 24 through the rear communication hole 32 will be referred to as a second wire portion 46b.

[0091] In the rear hollow cavity 24, the first wire portion 46a and the second wire portion 46b are disposed apart from each other in the up-and-down direction and in a manner extending in the front-and-rear direction LI. Also, the end portion of the second wire portion 46b corresponds to the second end portion 6b described above.

[0092] (BUFFER MEMBER)

[0093] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the buffer member 7 is disposed in the rear hollow cavity 24 in a manner positioned between the wire rear portion 46 and the lure 4. Figure 4 Figure 5 As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the buffer member 7 is disposed in the rear hollow cavity 24 in a manner positioned between the wire rear portion 46 and the lure 4.

[0094] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the buffer member 7 is disposed in the rear hollow cavity 24 in a manner positioned between the wire rear portion 46 and the lure 4. Figures 4-7 ​​As shown, the cushion member 7 is formed in a C shape in a longitudinal cross section, has: first and second cushion portions 50 and 51 that are disposed in opposition to each other in the vertical direction with the first and second wire portions 46a and 46b interposed therebetween; and a connecting portion 52 that connects the first and second cushion portions 50 and 51 in the vertical direction, and the cushion member 7 is disposed in the rear hollow cavity 24 in a manner to contact both the first and second dummy bodies 2 and 3.

[0095] The first cushion portion 50 is disposed below the first wire portion 46a and is formed in a manner to extend in the front-rear direction LI along the lower surface of the rear hollow cavity 24. In accordance with this, the first cushion portion 50 is disposed between the lower surface of the rear hollow cavity 24 and the first wire portion 46a across the entire length of the first wire portion 46a. Therefore, the first cushion portion 50 prevents the first wire portion 46a from directly contacting the lower surface of the rear hollow cavity 24.

[0096] In addition, the first cushion portion 50 contacts or is close to the lower surface of the rear hollow cavity 24. In particular, the lower surface of the rear communication hole 32 is taken as a first contacted surface 32a that faces the first cushion portion 50. The first contacted surface 32a is formed in the first and second dummy bodies 2 and 3, respectively, and is formed in a flat surface shape that extends in the left-right direction L2 with the first and second joint surfaces 15 and 16 interposed therebetween. In addition, the first contacted surface 32a constitutes a part of the lower surface of the rear hollow cavity 24.

[0097] In contrast, a portion of the first cushion portion 50 that faces the first contacted surface 32a is taken as a first contact surface 50a that contacts the first contacted surface 32a. In the illustrated example, the first contact surface 50a faces contacts the first contacted surface 32a from above.

[0098] The second cushion portion 51 is disposed above the second wire portion 46b and is formed in a manner to extend in the front-rear direction LI along the upper surface of the rear hollow cavity 24. In accordance with this, the second cushion portion 51 is disposed between the upper surface of the rear hollow cavity 24 and the second wire portion 46b across the entire length of the second wire portion 46b. Therefore, the second cushion portion 51 prevents the second wire portion 46b from directly contacting the upper surface of the rear hollow cavity 24.

[0099] In addition, the second cushion portion 51 contacts or is close to the upper surface of the rear hollow cavity 24. In particular, the upper surface of the rear communication hole 32 is taken as a second contacted surface 32b that faces the second cushion portion 51. The second contacted surface 32b is formed in the first and second dummy bodies 2 and 3, respectively, and is formed in a flat surface shape that extends in the left-right direction L2 with the first and second joint surfaces 15 and 16 interposed therebetween. In addition, the second contacted surface 32b constitutes a part of the upper surface of the rear hollow cavity 24.

[0100] On the other hand, the portion of the second buffer portion 51 that faces the second contacted surface 32b is made the second contacted surface 51a that contacts the second contacted surface 32b. In the illustrated example, the second contacted surface 51a faces the second contacted surface 32b from below.

[0101] The connecting portion 52 is provided on the right side (RH) of the first wire portion 46a and the second wire portion 46b, and is formed in a wall shape that connects the right end portions of the first buffer portion 50 and the second buffer portion 51 in the up-down direction. The connecting portion 52 is formed so as to extend in the front-rear direction LI, and so as to connect the right end portions of the first buffer portion 50 and the second buffer portion 51 to each other across the entire length.

[0102] Accordingly, the buffer member 7 is formed as a whole in a C shape in a longitudinal cross section, and is open on the left side (LH). In addition, the connecting portion 52 contacts the side surface of the rear hollow cavity 24 formed on the first dummy body 2 side, or approaches the side surface of the rear hollow cavity 24 formed on the first dummy body 2 side.

[0103] The buffer member 7 configured as described above is fixed to the dummy body 4 in a state of being provided in the rear hollow cavity 24. Specifically, the buffer member 7 is fixed to the dummy body 4 by adhesion or fusion, or the like, in a state in which at least the first contacted surface 50a contacts the first contacted surface 32a, and the second contacted surface 51a contacts the second contacted surface 32b.

[0104] In addition, the material of the buffer member 7 described above is not particularly limited, and is preferably a material that is softer than the dummy body 4 (the first dummy body 2 and the second dummy body 3), and for example, synthetic resin materials (polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like), rubber materials, or the like can be given. At this time, the material of the buffer member 7 can also be selected in consideration of corrosion resistance, water resistance, abrasion resistance, or the like. In addition, in the case of a buffer member 7 made of a synthetic resin, for example, the synthetic resin material can also contain reinforcing fibers such as carbon fibers.

[0105] The buffer member 7 configured as described above is provided in the rear hollow cavity 24 of the dummy body 4, and therefore, the wire rear portion 46 is sandwiched between the first dummy body 2 and the second dummy body 3 by the buffer member 7.

[0106] Specifically, as described above, the first buffer portion 50 is provided in the rear hollow cavity 24 of the first dummy body 2, and the second buffer portion 51 is provided in the rear hollow cavity 24 of the second dummy body 3. Figure 5As shown, the wire rear portion 46 is pressed into the inside of the cushion member 7 through the opening portion opened at the left side (LH) and is arranged in the housing space 55 surrounded by the first cushion portion 50, the second cushion portion 51 and the connecting portion 52 in a state that the rear hook hole 43 is exposed at the rear of the lure body 4. Accordingly, the wire rear portion 46 is in a state of being surrounded by the first cushion portion 50, the second cushion portion 51 and the connecting portion 52 and is sandwiched between the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3 by the cushion member 7.

[0107] In particular, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the first wire portion 46a and the second wire portion 46b are arranged in a state of being sandwiched between the first cushion portion 50 and the second cushion portion 51 in the up-and-down direction. Therefore, the first wire portion 46a is prevented from directly colliding with the boundary surface of the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 from above by the first cushion portion 50. Likewise, the second wire portion 46b is prevented from directly colliding with the boundary surface of the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 from below by the second cushion portion 51.

[0108] In addition, the wire rear portion 46 is housed in the inside of the cushion member 7 in a manner that is movable with respect to the cushion member 7. Accordingly, the wire rear portion 46 is assembled in the inside of the cushion member 7 in a state that is allowed to sway (degree of freedom) with respect to the cushion member 7.

[0109] (Action of the lure)

[0110] Next, a case where fishing is performed using the lure 1 configured as described above will be described.

[0111] In this case, casting is performed, and as shown in Figure 1 , the lure 1 is cast into water (sea, etc.) together with the fishing line L. After being cast, the lure 1 is moved (actuated) by the fishing line L, whereby the lure 1 can be swung, for example, on the water surface or in water, etc., and the target fish can be lured. Accordingly, the target fish can bite the lure 1, and at least either one of the front hook 8 and the rear hook 9 can hook the target fish.

[0112] Here, in a case where the target fish hooks on the rear hook 9, a large external force is transmitted from the target fish to the rear hook hole 43, and thus the wire 6 is moved with respect to the lure body 4 and the cushion member 7. Even in this case, since, as shown in Figures 5-7 , the wire rear portion 46 including the rear hook hole 43 is sandwiched between the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3 by the cushion member 7, the wire rear portion 46 can be prevented from directly colliding with the lure body 4.

[0113] Therefore, it is possible to suppress the undesirable situation where, as in the prior art, the lure 4 is split apart by the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16 due to a violent impact of the rear portion 46 of the line. That is, the buffer member 7 can mitigate and disperse the external force (the force from the target fish) transmitted from the rear portion 46 of the line to the lure 4.

[0114] Therefore, it is possible to suppress the transmission of external force to the first joint surface 15 and the second joint surface 16, thus preventing cracking of the lure body 4, which is less prone to separation of the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3. Therefore, it is possible to achieve lure 1 with long-term stable quality.

[0115] Accordingly, according to the lure 1 of this embodiment, even if an external force is transmitted to the rear portion 46 of the line through the rear hook hole 43 due to a target fish biting the hook, the buffer member 7 can be used to mitigate and disperse the external force transmitted from the rear portion 46 of the line to the lure body 4. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the lure body 4 from cracking due to separation of the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3.

[0116] Furthermore, the rear portion 46 of the line can move relative to the buffer member 7, thereby ensuring the freedom of the line 6, including the rear hook hole 43. Therefore, the rear portion 46 of the line can be displaced in response to the movement of the target fish that has bitten the rear hook 9. Thus, a lure 1 that makes it difficult for the target fish to get off the hook can be achieved.

[0117] In particular, in this embodiment, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the first buffer portion 50 and the second buffer portion 51 of the buffer member 7 are arranged facing each other in the vertical direction, separated by the first wire portion 46a and the second wire portion 46b. Therefore, even if the rear portion 46 of the wire moves vertically relative to the buffer member 7 due to an external force from the target fish, the rear portion 46 of the wire can still contact the first buffer portion 50 and the second buffer portion 51. Therefore, the first buffer portion 50 and the second buffer portion 51 can be used to prevent the rear portion 46 of the wire from directly colliding with the boundary between the first mating surface 15 and the second mating surface 16.

[0118] Furthermore, the rear portion 46 of the line is disposed within a receiving space 55 surrounded by the first buffer portion 50, the second buffer portion 51 and the connecting portion 52. Therefore, even if the rear portion 46 of the line moves relative to the buffer member 7, for example in the left-right direction L2, due to external force from the target fish, the rear portion 46 of the line is less likely to directly collide with the lure 4.

[0119] Furthermore, the buffer member 7 is disposed inside the rear connecting hole 32 with the first contact surface 50a of the first buffer portion 50 in contact with the first contacted surface 32a and the second contact surface 51a of the second buffer portion 51 in contact with the second contacted surface 32b. Therefore, the buffer member 7 can be appropriately combined with the lure body 4 without, for example, positional displacement, thereby reducing the likelihood of adverse conditions such as rotation of the buffer member 7 relative to the lure body 4.

[0120] Therefore, the buffer member 7 can be positioned between the lure body 4 and the rear portion 46 of the line 6 while maintaining the posture of the buffer member 7. Thus, the buffer member 7 can appropriately function as a buffer member to prevent the rear portion 46 of the line from directly colliding with the lure body 4.

[0121] Furthermore, since the buffer component 7 is fixed to the lure body 4 (the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3), it is possible to prevent, for example, the buffer component 7 from accidentally sliding or rotating relative to the lure body 4, which could cause changes in the posture of the buffer component 7 or the buffer component 7 from falling off the lure body 4.

[0122] (Second Implementation)

[0123] Next, a second embodiment of the artificial lure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in this second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used to denote the same structural elements as in the first embodiment, and their description is omitted.

[0124] In the second embodiment, a center of gravity shifting mechanism and a reflection mechanism are built into the central hollow cavity 25 of the first embodiment.

[0125] like Figure 8 As shown, the lure 60 of this embodiment has a center-of-gravity shifting mechanism 70 and a reflecting mechanism 80 disposed inside the lure body 4. The center-of-gravity shifting mechanism 70 and the reflecting mechanism 80 are disposed within the central hollow cavity 25.

[0126] Specifically, the central hollow cavity 25 is provided with: a longitudinally long first dividing rib 61, which is located between the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 and is formed by extending in the vertical direction, dividing the central hollow cavity 25 in the front and back; and a transversely long second dividing rib 62, which extends from the upper end of the first dividing rib 61 to the rear and divides the central hollow cavity 25 in the front and back.

[0127] Accordingly, the central hollow cavity 25 is divided into a first central hollow cavity 63 located on the head 10 and back 13 sides of the lure 4, and a second central hollow cavity 64 located on the tail 11 and abdomen 12 sides of the lure 4. The center of gravity shifting mechanism 70 is disposed in the second central hollow cavity 64, and the reflection mechanism 80 is disposed in the first central hollow cavity 63.

[0128] (center-of-gravity moving mechanism)

[0129] The center-of-gravity moving mechanism 70 has: a weight portion 71 that is movable in the front-rear direction Ll with respect to the lure body 4; a coil spring (force applying member according to the present application) 72 that is elastically deformed in conjunction with the movement of the weight portion 71 and applies a force to the weight portion 71 by elastically recovering the deformation; and a guide rod 73 that is a guide member that guides the movement of the weight portion 71.

[0130] The guide rod 73 is formed so as to extend in the front-rear direction Ll and is disposed between the first partition rib 61 and the second rib 22. The guide rod 73 is formed of, for example, a metal wire. The material of the metal wire is not particularly limited and, for example, steel, stainless steel, copper alloy, titanium alloy, or the like can be mentioned. In addition, various surface treatments can be applied to the outer surface of the guide rod 73 to reduce the friction between the guide rod 73 and the weight portion 71, or the like.

[0131] The weight portion 71 is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape that is long in the front-rear direction Ll and has a penetration hole 71a in which the guide rod 73 is inserted along the central axis. In this way, the weight portion 71 is guided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction Ll along the guide rod 73.

[0132] In addition, the shape of the weight portion 71 is not limited to a cylindrical shape and can be changed as appropriate, and can be, for example, a prismatic shape, a spherical shape, or the like. In addition, the material of the weight portion 71 is not particularly limited and, for example, lead, lead alloy, brass, tungsten, tungsten alloy, steel, stainless steel, or the like can be mentioned. At this time, it is preferable to select a material having a specific gravity that is greater than the specific gravity of the lure body 4 for the weight portion 71.

[0133] The coil spring 72 is attached to the guide rod 73 so as to be disposed between the weight portion 71 and the second rib 22. Therefore, normally, the weight portion 71 is located on the front side (the head portion 10 side of the lure body 4) by the coil spring 72. In addition, the coil spring 72 can be disposed in a compressed state or in a natural length state.

[0134] At least when the cast lure 60 is cast, the center-of-gravity moving mechanism 70 configured as described above changes the center of gravity of the entire cast lure 60 by moving the weight portion 71 to the rear side (the tail portion 11 side of the lure body 4) using inertia. At this time, the weight portion 71 moves while elastically deforming (compressing) the coil spring 72.

[0135] (reflection mechanism)

[0136] The reflection mechanism 80 has a swing portion 81 that is disposed in the first central hollow cavity 63 and is attached to the lure body 4 so as to be movable with respect to the lure body 4.

[0137] The swinging part 81 is mounted to the lure body 4 via a helical spring 82 installed within the first central hollow cavity 63. The swinging part 81 is formed as a plate extending in the front-rear direction L1. The upper end of the swinging part 81 is a bulge that bulges out integrally in the front-rear direction L1. The inner side of the bulge has a mounting hole 81a that passes through the swinging part 81 in the front-rear direction L1 and is fitted with the helical spring 82. Accordingly, the swinging part 81 is disposed within the first central hollow cavity 63 in a suspended state by the helical spring 82.

[0138] A counterweight 83 is built into the lower end of the swinging part 81. Accordingly, the swinging part 81 can swing significantly due to the inertia of the counterweight 83. In addition, the counterweight 83 is not necessary and may be omitted.

[0139] A reflective film (the reflector according to the present invention) 84 is formed on the outer surface of the swing portion 81 to reflect light from the outside. The reflective film 84 only needs to be able to reflect light; examples include a glossy metallic reflective film, a fluorescent film made of fluorescent paint, and a holographic film that reflects light using a prism effect. In the illustrated example, the reflective film 84 is shown with dotted shading to facilitate observation. Alternatively, the reflective film 84 can be formed by coloring or adding stripes.

[0140] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least the portion of the lure body 4 (the first lure body 2 and the second lure body 3) surrounding the swing portion 81 on which the reflective film 84 is formed (mainly the back 13 side) has transparency to the extent that light (ultraviolet light) can pass through. Accordingly, light can pass through the lure body 4 and enter the reflective film 84, and light reflected by the reflective film 84 can be emitted to the outside of the lure body 4.

[0141] (The function of artificial bait)

[0142] The lure 60 of this embodiment, configured as described above, can also perform the same function as the first embodiment, and can also perform the following functions.

[0143] That is, when the lure 60 is cast and the lure body 4 is launched, it flies with its tail 11, opposite to the head 10 connected to the fishing line L, as the leading end. Therefore, as Figure 9 As shown, due to inertia, the counterweight 71 of the center of gravity shifting mechanism 70 moves towards the tail 11 while causing the coil spring 72 to elastically deform. Therefore, in the initial stage of flight, the movement of the counterweight 71 can shift (displace) the center of gravity of the lure 60 from the head 10 side to the tail 11 side. Accordingly, the lure 60 can be made to fly quickly with the tail 11 side as the leading side while maintaining a stable posture, thereby extending the flight distance.

[0144] Also, at the time of casting the dummy bait, the centrifugal force can be effectively applied to the dummy bait 60 by the movement of the weight portion 71. Accordingly, it is also possible to extend the flight distance of the dummy bait 60.

[0145] Also, in the latter half of the flight, the speed of the dummy bait 60 decreases due to air resistance and the like, and the dummy bait 60 is subjected to a negative acceleration. Therefore, the weight portion 71 is moved to the head portion 10 side by the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 72, as shown in FIG. 6, and the center of gravity of the dummy bait 60 as a whole can be moved to the head portion 10 side. Accordingly, the posture of the dummy bait 60 in flight can be maintained in a posture in which the tail portion 11 side is less likely to drop downward. Therefore, it is also possible to extend the flight distance of the dummy bait 60 in the latter half of the flight. Figure 8

[0146] Thus, at the time of casting the dummy bait, the weight portion 71 can be moved appropriately in accordance with the acceleration, speed, and the like acting on the dummy bait body 4, and thus the center of gravity of the dummy bait 60 as a whole can be changed appropriately. Therefore, the flight posture of the dummy bait body 4 can be maintained in an optimum posture in accordance with the flight conditions, and thus the flight distance can be extended.

[0147] Therefore, even if the dummy bait 60 is cast with a light force, the dummy bait 60 can be made to fly farther efficiently, and thus a dummy bait 60 that is easy to use can be realized.

[0148] Also, at the time of casting the dummy bait, the centrifugal force can be effectively applied to the dummy bait 60 by the movement of the weight portion 71. Accordingly, it is also possible to extend the flight distance of the dummy bait 60.

[0149] Also, the dummy bait 60 of the present embodiment has the reflection mechanism 80, and thus the target fish can be further lured.

[0150] That is, the swinging portion 81 can be swung, for example, in a vibrating manner by the action and the like performed by the fishing line L, and thus the state of the light reflected by the reflector (reflected light) can be changed. Therefore, the visual presentation of the light can be changed, and the target fish can visually recognize the dummy bait 60 as if the dummy bait 60 is emitting light. Accordingly, the target fish can be effectively lured by the dummy bait 60, and thus the hit rate of the dummy bait 60 in catching the target fish can be improved.

[0151] ​In particular, since the oscillation section 81 is installed in a suspended manner by the coil spring 82, the oscillation section 81 can be kept in a movable (vibrating) state, rather than being immediately stopped, even in a case where the action by the fishing line L is stopped, a case where the movement of water or a tide is stopped, for example. Thus, the attracting of the target fish can be continued, and thus the fish catching rate can be improved.

[0152] (Modified example of the second embodiment)

[0153] In the above-described second embodiment, the oscillation section 81 is installed in a suspended manner by the coil spring 82, but the present application is not limited to this case, and the oscillation section 81 can be installed in a movable manner with respect to the lure body 4 by a pin, a ring, a suspender, or the like, for example.

[0154] In the above-described second embodiment, the inside of the lure body 4 can be configured to be, for example, a vacuum or the like, so as to be under a negative pressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure. In this case, the oscillation section 81 is less likely to be affected by air resistance due to the negative pressure of the inside of the lure body 4, and thus the oscillation section 81 can be efficiently vibrated, and is likely to be vibrated for a long time, for example. Thus, the target fish can be more effectively attracted.

[0155] In the above-described second embodiment, both the center-of-gravity moving mechanism 70 and the reflection mechanism 80 are assembled in the inside of the lure body 4, but the present application is not limited to this case, and the lure body 4 can be configured to be assembled with only either one of the center-of-gravity moving mechanism 70 and the reflection mechanism 80.

[0156] The above-described embodiments of the lure of the present application have been described, but these embodiments are examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made within the scope of the present application without departing from the gist of the present application. In the embodiments and modified examples thereof, for example, technical solutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art, that are substantially the same, or that are within the same scope are included.

[0157] In the above-described embodiments, a pencil-type lure has been described as an example, but a so-called mino-type lure having a lip portion at the jaw portion of the lure body can be used, for example. Also, a dorsal fin or the like can be attached to the back portion of the lure body.

[0158] In the above-described embodiments, a structure in which a buffer member is provided at the tail portion side of the lure body has been described as an example, but the present application is not limited to this case, and the buffer member can be provided at the head portion side or the abdomen portion side, for example. In this case, even in a case where a large external force is applied to the fishing line hole or the front hook hole, the buffer member can be used to suppress the direct collision of the wire with the lure body, and the external force transmitted from the wire to the lure body can be moderated and dispersed.

[0159] Also, in each of the above embodiments, a structure in which the wire is held between the first dummy bait and the second dummy bait in a state in which the wire is continuously arranged from the head portion to the tail portion via the abdomen portion of the dummy bait is exemplified, but is not limited to this case. For example, the wire having the hole can be separately installed to the head portion, the abdomen portion, and the tail portion of the dummy bait.

[0160] However, as in each of the above embodiments, by configuring the wire in a manner in which the wire is continuously arranged from the head portion to the tail portion via the abdomen portion of the dummy bait, the wire can be firmly assembled to the dummy bait by the first dummy bait and the second dummy bait holding the wire in a wide range.

[0161] Also, in each of the above embodiments, the buffer member is configured in a manner in which the first buffer portion, the second buffer portion, and the connection portion have a C-shaped cross section, but is not limited to this case. For example, the buffer member can be one having the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion. However, in a case in which the buffer member is configured by the first buffer portion, the second buffer portion, and the connection portion as in each of the above embodiments, the buffer member can be handled as a part of one piece, and thus, for example, the assembly work of the dummy bait and the like can be efficiently performed.
