Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application number 201811139285.1 and invention name “Artificial Bait” ​​filed on September 28, 2018. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to a bait for fishing. Background Art

[0003] Large fish such as California bass, amberjack and its fry, and perch prey on small fish. These large fish are called fish eaters. As a way to catch fish eaters, lure fishing is popular. In lure fishing, a lure that looks like a small fish or other bait is used. The lure is thrown into the air and soon falls into the water. The lure is made to swim in the water by winding the fishing line. The fish eaters who mistake the lure for a fish bait bite the lure. The fishhook installed on the lure pierces the fish eater, thereby catching the fish eater. The frequency with which the fish eater bites the lure is called the hook-up rate.

[0004] In order to increase the hook-up rate, various improvements have been made to lures. For example, a lure is coated with a glossy paint. In this lure, when the lure moves, the reflection state of light changes to attract piscine fish. Another lure has a rattle ball in the space inside the lure. When the lure moves, the ball rolls and makes a sound to attract piscine fish. A lure is also known that, when the lure is pulled, the lure vibrates and swims. These types of lures have been disclosed in the "2017 Shimano Fishing Tackle Catalog" published by Shimano Co., Ltd.

Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The front part of the image is enlarged. Figure 3 In the figure, for ease of understanding, the portion that contacts the left half of the lure 2 when it is installed is shaded. Figure 4 It is along Figure 3 A cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV.

[0040] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the lure 2 includes a lure body 4 , a protruding portion 6 , a suspension rod 8 , a vibrating portion 10 and a spring 12 .

[0041] The lure body 4 has an appearance similar to a fishing bait, i.e., a small fish. The lure body 4 is formed of a hard material. Typically, the lure body 4 is formed of a synthetic resin composition. The lure body 4 can also be formed of a soft material such as an elastomer. The lure body 4 has a head 14 and a tail 16. Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the lure body 4 has a cavity 18 inside. The lure body 4 has transparency to such an extent that light can pass through the cavity 18. In the lure body 4, the light from the inside can be visually confirmed from the outside.

[0042] In this embodiment, the air pressure in the cavity 18 is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The air pressure in the cavity 18 may be lower than the normal atmospheric pressure. In this case, the air pressure in the cavity 18 is lower than the atmospheric pressure. The cavity 18 is a vacuum. In the lure 2, in order to maintain the reduced pressure state, the right half and the left half of the lure body 4 are welded or bonded together. The contact portion between the right half and the left half of the lure body 4 may also be sealed by rubber.

[0043] The protrusion 6 is formed of a hard material. Typically, the protrusion 6 is formed of a synthetic resin composition. Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 6 is mounted on the lower side of the lure body 4. The protrusion 6 is located below the head 14. The protrusion 6 helps the lure 2 to have a proper posture in the water when swimming.

[0044] The suspension rod 8 is located in the cavity 18 of the lure body 4. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the suspension rod 8 extends in the front-to-back direction along the upper surface of the cavity 18. The suspension rod 8 is in the shape of a rod. The front and rear ends of the suspension rod 8 are fixed to the lure body 4. The suspension rod 8 is typically formed of a synthetic resin composition.

[0045] like Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the vibration part 10 is located inside the cavity 18. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , a plurality of vibration parts 10 are arranged in the front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, four vibration parts 10 are located in the cavity 18. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the vibration part 10 is plate-shaped. The vibration part 10 extends in the front-rear direction. The vibration part 10 is mounted so that the extending direction (width direction) thereof is the front-rear direction.

[0046] The vibration part 10 receives light from the outside and emits light. In this embodiment, the vibration part 10 is a reflector. That is, the surface of the vibration part 10 reflects light. The surface of the vibration part 10 has a gloss. The surface of the vibration part 10 can be colored or patterned. The vibration part 10 is typically formed of a synthetic resin composition. The vibration part 10 can also be formed of a metal. As a typical vibration part 10, a holographic plate is exemplified. The vibration part 10 can also be a fluorescent body.

[0047] like Figure 3As shown, each vibration part 10 has a notch 20 at the upper edge. The notch 20 is located at the center of the width direction of the vibration part 10. The vibration part 10 also has a mounting hole 22 below the notch 20.

[0048] The spring 12 is located inside the notch 20 of the vibrating part 10. The upper end of the spring 12 is hung on the suspension rod 8. The spring 12 is hung on the lure body 4 via the suspension rod 8. The lower end of the spring 12 is hung on the mounting hole 22 of the vibrating part 10. The vibrating part 10 is hung on the lower end of the spring 12. The vibrating part 10 is hung on the suspension rod 8 via the spring 12. The vibrating part 10 can vibrate relative to the lure body 4 via the spring 12. The vibrating part 10 can vibrate front and back, up and down, left and right via the spring 12. The vibrating part 10 is movable relative to the lure body 4 via the spring 12. The vibrating part 10 is movably mounted on the lure body 4 via the suspension rod 8 and the spring 12.

[0049] The lure 2 may not have the suspension rod 8. The upper end of the spring 12 may be directly connected to the upper surface of the cavity 18 of the lure body 4. The vibrating part 10 may be movably mounted on the lure body 4 via the spring 12.

[0050] In the lure 2, the number of springs 12 is not limited to one. The vibrating part 10 may be attached to the lure body 4 via two or more springs.

[0051] Although not shown, the lure 2 further includes a wire loop, a hook eye, and a hook. The wire loop forms a hole for passing the wire. The wire loop is formed by bending a metal wire. The wire loop is firmly fixed to the lure body 4. The hook eye forms a hole for attaching the hook. The hook eye is formed by bending a metal wire. The hook eye is firmly fixed to the lure body 4. The hook is hung on the hook eye. The hook is movably attached to the hook eye.

[0052] Although not shown, the lure 2 further includes a weight body. The weight body is located in the cavity 18. The weight body is fixed to the lure body 4 in the cavity 18. The weight body adjusts the posture of the lure 2 when the lure 2 is moved.

[0053] Hereinafter, the effects of the present invention will be described.

[0054] The lure 2 of the present invention has a vibrating portion 10 that receives light from the outside and emits light in the cavity 18 of the lure body 4. The vibrating portion 10 is a reflector. The surface of the vibrating portion 10 reflects light. The lure body 4 has a degree of transparency that allows light to pass into the cavity 18. The light reflected by the vibrating portion 10 can be visually confirmed from the outside. The light reflected by the vibrating portion 10 attracts piscine fish. Such a lure 2 can be expected to have a high hook rate.

[0055] The vibrating part 10 of the lure 2 is hung on the suspension rod 8 via a spring 12. When the lure 2 is in motion, such as when the angler pulls the lure 2 or when the water or tide flows fast, the vibrating part 10 vibrates forward, backward, upward, downward, left, and right via the spring 12. The motion of the vibrating part 10 changes the state of light reflection. The visual state of the light emitted by the vibrating part 10 changes. The vibrating part 10 appears to flicker. This can effectively attract piscine fish. Such a lure 2 can be expected to have a high hook rate.

[0056] The vibrating part 10 of the lure 2 is hung on the suspension rod 8 by a spring 12. When the lure 2 changes from an action state to a stop state, the spring 12 can still move for a while, wherein "when the lure 2 changes from an action state to a stop state" includes when the angler stops pulling the lure 2, when the flow of water or tide stops, etc. The vibrating part 10 can still vibrate for a while when the lure 2 changes from an action state to a stop state. At this time, the vibrating part 10 still looks like it is flickering. The vibrating part 10 can still effectively lure piscine fish for a while after the lure 2 changes to a stop state. Such a lure 2 can expect a higher hook rate.

[0057] The strength of the spring 12 is adjusted according to the weight of the vibrating part 10 hung on the spring 12. If the strength of the spring 12 is strong, the spring 12 will basically not stretch even if the vibrating part 10 is hung. If the strength of the spring 12 is weak, the spring 12 will be stretched to the limit when the vibrating part 10 is hung. In both cases, it is difficult to cause up and down vibrations, and the duration of the vibration is also shortened. The strength of the spring 12 is appropriately adjusted so that the vibration amplitude becomes larger and the vibration lasts for a longer time. Accordingly, such a lure 2 can expect a higher hook rate.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air pressure in the cavity 18 is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The lure 2 can be manufactured easily and cheaply. As mentioned above, the air pressure in the cavity 18 may be lower than the normal atmospheric pressure. At this time, the cavity 18 is a vacuum. In the lure 2, the vibrating part 10 is less susceptible to air resistance. Compared with the case where the cavity 18 is not depressurized, the vibrating part 10 is easy to vibrate. Compared with the case where the cavity 18 is not depressurized, the vibrating part 10 can still vibrate for a longer time after the lure 2 changes from the action state to the stop state. The vibrating part 10 can still effectively lure piscine fish after the lure 2 changes to the stop state. Such a lure 2 can expect a higher hook rate.

[0059] As described above, the vibrating part 10 can still vibrate for a while after the lure 2 is switched from the operating state to the stopping state. Preferably, the lure 2 vibrates for more than 3 seconds, more preferably for more than 5 seconds, and even more preferably for more than 10 seconds.

[0060] As described above, the vibrating part 10 is plate-shaped, and it is preferred that the vibrating part 10 is installed in a manner extending in the front-back direction. In this way, the vibrating part 10 can be easily visually confirmed from the side of the artificial bait 2. The light reflected by the vibrating part 10 effectively attracts piscine fish. Such artificial bait 2 can expect a high hook rate.
