Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fishing lure. Background Art

[0002] In the past, in lure fishing, in order to catch piscivorous fish, a lure (lure) with baits such as simulated small fish was used. As such lures, various types such as bait wood, spoon, plug, spinner, jig, and plastic lures are known.

[0003] As one of such lures, Patent Document 1 discloses a fish luring tool, which relates to a lure such as a lure for fishing. The special feature is that a light-reflecting object and a liquid are sealed together in a main body, and complex reflected light can be expressed by the movement of the reflector, thereby improving the fishing effect.

[0004] In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a color-developing lure that is formed by laminating a pair of lure halves made of transparent or translucent materials and having a hollow space inside. The lure halves have a diffuse reflection layer with many bumps on the inner surface, and a reflective film is formed on the surface of the diffuse reflection layer, and the outer surface is formed into a smooth layer.

[0007] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-154438 Summary of the invention

[0008] However, the following problem exists in the fish attracting tool such as patent document 1, that is, although the reflection of light can be caused, the reflected light will become weak, or the reflected light cannot be sent to the piscivorous fish at all according to the angle of the light from the outside that collides with the small piece, so the fish attracting effect may not be improved. In addition, the following problem exists in the color developing lure such as patent document 2, that is, since it is only diffuse reflection, the reflected light will diffuse, so it will not form a strong reflected light, and as a result, it is not easy to be noticed by the piscivorous fish, so the fish attracting effect may not be improved. On the other hand, fish such as sardines are camouflaged by reflecting close to mirror reflection so as not to be discovered from the sky by birds, etc., and it is believed that the strong reflected light close to mirror reflection can arouse the interest of piscivorous fish according to the reflection direction, but this cannot be achieved in the fish attracting tool and lure in the patent document.

[0009] One of the technical problems to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a lure that can reduce the attenuation of external light when reflected from multiple parts of the lure, reflect with stronger light brightness, and form reflected light in various directions, thereby being able to more effectively and strongly attract piscivorous fish. Other purposes of the embodiments of the present invention can be known by referring to the entire specification.

In addition, in the fishing lure according to one embodiment of the present invention, the one or more reflecting surfaces or reflectors are formed integrally with the main body.

[0014] In addition, in the fishing lure involved in one embodiment of the present invention, the main body is formed to diffuse and transmit light from the outside. In the fishing lure involved in one embodiment of the present invention, the light from the outside or the reflected light to the outside can be colored when passing through the main body.

[0037] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings as appropriate. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to common components in the accompanying drawings.

[0038] 1-4, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described (FIGS. 1 and 3 are perspective views, Figure 2 , 41(b) and 3 show cross-sectional views taken at sections AA and BB). A fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 2 having a cavity (cavity portion) 11 therein, a part or the whole of the cavity 11 being visually recognizable from the outside, one or more reflecting members 4 (one or more reflecting surfaces or reflectors) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are provided on the outside of the main body 2, the inside of the main body 2, or at least any two parts in the cavity 11, respectively, and the light from the outside is configured to be specularly reflected once or more at the at least two parts (the outside of the main body 2, the inside of the main body 2, or at least any two parts in the cavity 11).

[0039] In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of which can be visually recognized from the outside, and a reflective member 4 is provided in the cavity 11 for specularly reflecting light from the outside ( FIG. 1 (a) is a case where it is composed of a reflective surface 6, and FIG. 1 (b) and its cross-sectional view are the same). Figure 2 In the case where the lure is composed of a plurality of reflecting surfaces 6, a plurality of reflecting surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are provided on the outside of the main body 2, and the light from the outside is configured to be specularly reflected once at the two locations (inside the cavity 11 and outside the main body 2). In this way, by performing multiple specular reflections from multiple locations of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and the reflected light can be more reliably transmitted in a desired direction.

[0040] In addition, in the case where a reflective component 4 (for example, a plurality of reflective surfaces 6) is provided, the reflective component 4 (a plurality of reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 may be provided as an integral body or as a separate body (the same applies to the entire present specification). Even when the reflective component 4 (a plurality of reflective surfaces 6) and the main body 2 are provided as separate bodies, a part or all of the reflective component 4 (a plurality of reflective surfaces 6) may be provided to be in contact with the main body 2 (the same applies to the entire present specification). Here, since the reflective component 4 performs specular reflection, the reflective surface of the reflective component 4 is formed on a plane constituting the law of reflection (the incident angle and the reflection angle are equal and opposite in sign during reflection) (the same applies hereinafter). In addition, although the reflective surface 6 or the reflector 7 is included on the reflective component 4, forms other than these may also be considered (the same applies hereinafter).

[0041] Here, specular reflection is defined as "a reflection that complies with the law of reflection (when reflecting, the incident angle and the reflection angle are equal and opposite in sign)". Since the brightness of the reflected light is higher than that of the usual diffuse reflection, the intensity of the reflected light can be greatly increased by performing specular reflection of the external light. As a result, it is believed that the reflected light can be transmitted farther (the same below). Here, although the reflection brightness of specular reflection and diffuse reflection will change due to many conditions, under the same conditions, the diffuse reflection is roughly less than 1 / 5 of the brightness of the specular reflection. It should be noted that in the present invention, when referred to as "specular reflection", it includes not only ideal specular reflection, but also reflection with a brightness of 40% or more compared to it (referred to as quasi-specular reflection in this specification).

[0042] In addition, although external light is injected from various directions, it is mainly considered that the sunlight reaching the water from above the water surface. Such external light (incident light) is injected from above the water surface towards the lure in the water with an up-down (vertical) direction or an oblique direction. Because lure is used to lure piscivorous fish, it is preferably carried out specular reflection to the approximately left and right (horizontal) direction or the horizontal oblique direction of lure. In this regard, although lure is designed to carry out a predetermined motion in actual fishing, when the reflective component that thus performs specular reflection in configuration, the motion (also referred to as lure action) of imaginary lure can be considered in advance to be configured in a suitable position, but it is not intended to be limited to a specific position or direction. In addition, because the reflecting surface is a multi-directional specular reflection, it can be said that if a lot of reflecting surfaces are provided, the efficiency of reflecting incident light to a suitable range (direction) can be improved, but it should be noted that if the lure action is rotation (rolling), then for example even if it is 1 reflective component, it is also possible to effectively reflect light to a suitable range (direction).

[0043] Next, in Figure 3 , 4 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of which can be visually recognized from the outside, a reflective member 4 (a plurality of reflective surfaces 6) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside is provided in the cavity 11, and a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are provided on the outer surface of the main body 2, and the light from the outside is configured to be specularly reflected twice at the two locations (the cavity 11 and the inner surface of the main body 2). In this way, by performing multiple specular reflections at multiple locations of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and the reflected light can be more effectively transmitted in a desired direction.

[0044] According to the fishing lure 1 involved in one embodiment of the present invention, since the attenuation of the external light reflected from multiple parts of the lure can be reduced, and a stronger brightness and reflected light in various directions can be formed, it is possible to provide a lure with an attracting part that can more effectively and strongly attract piscivorous fish. Here, as mentioned above, specular reflection is defined as "a reflection that constitutes the law of reflection (when reflecting, the incident angle and the reflection angle are equal and opposite in sign)", and since the brightness of the reflected light is higher than that of the usual diffuse reflection, the intensity of the reflected light can be greatly increased by performing specular reflection of the external light, and as a result, it is believed that the reflected light can be transmitted to a farther distance (the same below). Although the reflection brightness of specular reflection and diffuse reflection will change due to many conditions, if under the same conditions, the diffuse reflection is roughly less than 1 / 5 of the brightness of specular reflection. It should be noted that, as mentioned above, in the present invention, when it is called "specular reflection", it not only includes ideal specular reflection, but also includes reflection with a brightness of more than 40% compared with it (referred to as quasi-specular reflection in this specification).

[0045] Next, refer to Figure 5 A fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 5 A portion of a plurality of reflectors on a lure 1 is shown. In a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, one or more reflective components 4 (in the example shown in the figure, a quadrangular pyramid prism as a plurality of reflectors 7) are provided on the inner surface of the main body 2, and the light from the outside is reflected by a mirror multiple times (at least twice) (in the example shown in the figure, reflected by a mirror twice). In this way, the plurality of reflective components 4 can capture and reflect incident light in a wider range by performing a plurality of mirror reflections, and can more reliably transmit the reflected light in a desired direction. According to the fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the attenuation of the external light during reflection can be reduced, multiple reflections can be performed with a stronger brightness, and reflected light in various directions can be formed, it is possible to provide a lure having an attracting portion that can more reliably and strongly attract piscivorous fish.

[0046] In addition, a plurality of reflective components 4 (reflective surface 6, reflector 7) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside may be disposed on the outer surface of the main body 2 and the inner surface of the main body 2, on the outer surface of the main body 2 and in the cavity 11, or on the inner surface of the main body 2 and in the cavity 11. In addition, one or more reflective components 4 (reflective surface 6, reflector 7) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside may be disposed on the outer surface of the main body 2 and the inner surface of the main body 2 and in the cavity 11.

[0047] Next, if Figure 6 ,7 As shown, in the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reflective surface 6 is formed into a circular shape, a polygon including a triangle, a square, a pentagon or a hexagon ( Figure 6 a. Figure 6 b. Figure 6 c. Figure 6 f. Figure 6 g), arc-shaped or scaly (simulating the shape of fish scales) ( Figure 6 d. Figure 6 e). In addition, when a plurality of reflecting surfaces 6 are provided, each reflecting surface may be arranged on the same surface or on a curved surface along the shape of the main body 2 (the same applies hereinafter). In addition, each reflecting surface may be arranged to have a predetermined same angle ( Figure 7 In addition, in a fishing lure according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reflective surface is formed into a plurality of curved surfaces or spherical surfaces. In this way, it can be configured to be capable of multiple (more than 2) mirror reflections. In this way, by providing a large number of reflective surfaces for mirror reflection and emitting realistic mirror reflection light like a bait fish, an effective attraction can be formed.

[0048] Next, if Figure 8 As shown, in the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the reflector 7 is formed into a cylindrical shape ( Figure 8 a), waveform ( Figure 8 b), polygonal prisms or pyramids ( Figure 8 c), polyhedron ( Figure 8 d), sphere ( Figure 8 e), tile-shaped (serrated) or tile-shaped stacking. By using these reflectors, it is possible to configure a structure that performs one or more specular reflections. In this way, incident light from more directions can be specularly reflected, and since realistic reflected light can be emitted like bait fish, an effective attraction can be formed.

[0049] In the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when one or more reflecting surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 are arranged in the cavity 11, the one or more reflecting surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 are directly or indirectly supported on a part of the main body 2. In addition, in the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 2 is formed so as to diffuse and transmit light from the outside. In this way, multiple mirror reflections can be performed at multiple locations of the lure. In addition, in the fishing lure according to one embodiment of the present invention, the light from the outside or the reflected light to the outside can be colored when passing through the main body. At this time, in order to make the transmitted light color, the main body can be formed by transparent ABS resin or acrylic resin colored in the color to be colored within the range of the transmittable light, but it is not limited to this. In this way, when it is desired to generate colored reflected light, the transmitted light passing through the main body can be used.

[0050] In the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when one or more reflecting surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 are provided on the inner surface of the main body 2, the one or more reflecting surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 may be formed into a mirror surface by, for example, vapor deposition coating, holographic film, holographic sheet, metal bonding, resin bonding, or glass sheet bonding, but not limited thereto. In this way, for example, the reflection efficiency can be improved at a portion where light on the water surface is easily incident, such as the belly (bottom) of the lure, so that a stronger reflected light can be emitted, or even a weak incident light can be reliably reflected.

[0051] In the fishing lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 2 is formed of a resin (e.g., ABS, acrylic, etc.) or a metal (e.g., zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.). In addition, a part of the main body 2 may be formed of at least one of the resin (e.g., ABS, acrylic, etc.) or the metal (e.g., zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.). In addition, in the fishing lure 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 are provided, each reflective surface 6 or reflector 7 may be of the same shape or of different shapes.

[0052] Furthermore, it is also possible to arrange the reflective members 4 provided on the outer or inner surface of the main body 2 to separate gaps so that external light can enter the main body 2 through the gaps, and the external light thus entering can be reflected by other reflective members 4 provided in the main body 2. In this way, since the multiple swinging parts of the reflective members 4 can reflect the light received from the outside in various directions, the reflected light can be reliably delivered to the piscivorous fish, and thus the attracting effect can be greatly improved.

[0053] In addition, the fishing lure involved in other embodiments of the present invention is formed of resin (such as ABS, propylene, etc.) or metal (such as zinc, lead, tungsten, etc.), and a plurality of reflective surfaces or reflectors that can specularly reflect light from the outside are provided on the outside of the lure to perform one or more specular reflections on the light from the outside. In addition, the fishing lure involved in other embodiments of the present invention can also be formed of raw materials other than the above-mentioned resin or metal. In addition, the fishing lure involved in one embodiment of the present invention is a jumping bait, a lead head or a spoon-shaped bait.

[0054] It should be noted that in this specification, the term "lure" includes a jumping bait, a lead head or a spoon-shaped bait. In this way, if a reflective surface or a reflector is appropriately provided on the outside to perform specular reflection on the light incident on the outside from multiple directions, even if it is a jumping bait, a lead head or a spoon-shaped bait, the reflected light can be effectively delivered to the piscivorous fish, thereby greatly improving the luring effect. In addition, the fishing lure involved in other embodiments of the present invention can also be formed as a solid, and at this moment, the lure is formed without a hollow portion inside. Alternatively, the fishing lure involved in other embodiments of the present invention can also be configured to have a hollow portion provided on at least a portion thereof.

[0055] Next, refer to Figure 9-15 A fishing lure 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described (a cross-sectional view of the fishing lure 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown at a position corresponding to the position of the AA section and the BB section in FIGS. 1 and 3 ). Fig. 9 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of the cavity 11 being visually recognizable from the outside, a reflecting component 4 (reflecting surface 6) being arranged in the cavity 11 and capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside, and a plurality of reflecting surfaces 6 being arranged on the inner surface of the main body 2 and capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside, the light from the outside being configured to be specularly reflected once at each of the two locations (the cavity 11 and the inner surface of the main body 2).

[0056] In this way, by performing mirror reflection from multiple parts of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and the reflected light can be transmitted more reliably in the desired direction. Here, in the process until the light from the outside is mirror-reflected by the reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) set in the cavity 11, a part of the light from the outside will pass through the main body 2. Since it will diffuse and pass through when reaching the cavity 11, the incident light into the cavity 11 will diffuse in various directions. However, since most of such incident light will be mirror-reflected by the reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) in the cavity 11, even relatively weak incident light can reduce attenuation during reflection and be reflected reliably with stronger brightness. In addition, the reflected light can be reflected in a wider range of directions ( Fig. 9 Mirror reflection on the reflecting component 4 (reflecting surface 6) in the cavity 11).

[0057] Next, in Fig.10 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of which can be visually identified from the outside, and in the cavity 11, a reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside is integrally provided with the main body 2, and a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are provided on the outside of the main body 2, and the light from the outside is configured to be specularly reflected once at the two locations (inside the cavity 11 and on the outside of the main body 2), respectively.

[0058] In this way, by performing mirror reflection from multiple parts of the lure, it is possible to capture and reflect incident light in a wider range, and furthermore, it is possible to more reliably transmit the reflected light in a desired direction. Here, in the process until the light from the outside is mirror-reflected by the reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) that is integral with the main body 2 and is disposed in the cavity 11, a portion of the light from the outside will pass through the main body 2. Since the light will diffuse and pass through when reaching the cavity 11, the incident light into the cavity 11 will diffuse in various directions. However, since most of such incident light will be mirror-reflected by the reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) in the cavity 11, even relatively weak incident light can reduce attenuation during reflection and be reliably reflected with a stronger brightness. Furthermore, it is possible to reflect the reflected light in a wider range of directions ( Fig.10 Specular reflection on the reflecting component 4 (reflecting surface 6) which is integrally provided with the main body 2 in the cavity 11).

[0059] Next, in Fig.11In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of which can be visually recognized from the outside, a reflecting member 4 (reflecting surface 6) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside is provided in the cavity 11, and a plurality of reflecting surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside are provided on the inner surface of the main body 2, and the light from the outside is configured to be specularly reflected twice and once at the two locations (the cavity 11 and the inner surface of the main body 2), respectively. In this way, by specularly reflecting from multiple locations of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and reflected light can be more effectively transmitted in a desired direction.

[0060] In addition, Fig.12 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of the cavity 11 being visually recognizable from the outside, a reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside being provided in the cavity 11, and a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside being provided on the outside of the main body 2, and the light from the outside being configured to be specularly reflected twice and once at the two locations (the cavity 11 and the outside of the main body 2), respectively. In this way, by specularly reflecting from multiple locations of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and reflected light can be more effectively transmitted in a desired direction.

[0061] Next, in Fig.13 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 2 having a hollow 11 therein, a part or the whole of the hollow 11 being visually recognizable from the outside, a reflecting component 4 (reflecting surface 6) being arranged in the hollow 11 and capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside, and a plurality of reflecting surfaces 6 being arranged on the inner surface of the main body 2 and capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside, the light from the outside being configured to be specularly reflected once and twice at the two locations (the inside of the hollow 11 and the inner surface of the main body 2), respectively.

[0062] In this way, by performing mirror reflection from multiple parts of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and the reflected light can be transmitted more reliably in the desired direction. Here, in the process until the light from the outside is mirror-reflected by the reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) set in the cavity 11, a part of the light from the outside will pass through the main body 2. Since it will diffuse and pass through when reaching the cavity 11, the incident light into the cavity 11 will diffuse in various directions. However, since most of such incident light will be mirror-reflected by the reflective component 4 (reflective surface 6) in the cavity 11, even relatively weak incident light can reduce attenuation during reflection and be reflected reliably with stronger brightness. In addition, the reflected light can be reflected in a wider range of directions ( Fig.13 In addition, although the transmitted light may form colored light as described later when entering the object through which it is transmitted or when being emitted as reflected light to the outside, the reflected light in this way can also reduce the attenuation during reflection and be reflected with a higher brightness as reflected light with color.

[0063] In addition, Fig.14 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of the cavity 11 being visually recognizable from the outside, a reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside being provided in the cavity 11, and a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside being provided on the outside of the main body 2, and the light from the outside being configured to be specularly reflected once and twice at the two locations (the cavity 11 and the outside of the main body 2), respectively. In this way, by specularly reflecting from multiple locations of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and reflected light can be more effectively transmitted in a desired direction.

[0064] Next, in Fig.15 In the example shown, a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 2 having a cavity 11 therein, a part or the whole of the cavity 11 being visually recognizable from the outside, a reflective member 4 (reflective surface 6) capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside being provided in the cavity 11, and a plurality of reflective surfaces 6 capable of specularly reflecting light from the outside being provided on the inner surface of the main body 2, and the light from the outside being configured to be specularly reflected twice at the two locations (the cavity 11 and the inner surface of the main body 2). In this way, by specularly reflecting from multiple locations of the lure, incident light in a wider range can be captured and reflected, and the reflected light can be more effectively transmitted in a desired direction.

[0065] Next, a method for forming a reflective surface that performs specular reflection on one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflectors 7 on a fishing lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. As a method for forming a reflective surface that performs specular reflection, for example, resin injection molding, molding of metal or glass, etc., lamination molding of an extremely thin film, or forming a film on a metal or resin molding surface, etc., can be considered, but other existing known technologies can also be used. In this way, a specular reflection surface can be directly formed on the inner or outer surface of the main body of the lure, or the specular reflection surface component can be formed into a hollow portion of the lure and formed on the main body by bonding.

[0066] In addition, although whether the formed reflective surface performs specular reflection or diffuse reflection is largely affected by factors such as the surface roughness or material of the formed reflective surface, by using the above-mentioned formation method, it is possible to form a specular reflective surface of one or more reflective surfaces 6 or reflector 7 on the fishing lure 1 involved in one embodiment of the present invention, and determine the material and surface roughness that can reflect more than 40% of the brightness compared to the ideal specular reflection. For example, in the case of resin injection molding, it is particularly affected by the surface roughness of the mold surface, but the difference in molding materials (for example, the surface roughness of ABS, which is commonly used for lures, is rougher than that of acrylic) will also have a greater impact on the mirror formation. Even in this case, the influence of the surface roughness can be reduced by thinly applying a transparent coating on the mirror surface.

[0067] Here, although Japanese Patent Publication No. 09-154438 discloses an example of diffuse reflection as a color-developing lure, the following physical and technical features can be listed as methods for making the mirror-reflected light of the lure develop color. Since the reflected light reflected from an object absorbs specific wavelengths from the object, color is generated by containing many specific wavelength components. Since part of the color of the diffusely reflected light is absorbed by the object from the surface of the object (called "light absorption") and diffusely reflected, its color is "developed" in the reflected light. In contrast, the regular reflection of the mirror-reflected light during mirror reflection is a mirror reflection emitted in the direction of the reflection angle equal to the incident angle, which is different from the diffuse reflection that diffusely emits in the direction other than the reflection angle. Therefore, it can be said that it is basically impossible for part of the color to be "developed" from the surface of the object into the reflected light. In other words, the color of the object surface that is colored in the reflected light and can be seen means that the color is absorbed and diffusely reflected in the reflected light, which can be said to be not a mirror reflection. However, it should be noted that as a method of coloring the light reflected from the mirror surface, when the lure body is formed by a transparent resin and colored like red glass of colored glass, in the case of transmitted light passing through the lure body (not reflected light reflected on the lure body), the incident light from the outside (for example, white incident light) or the transmitted light of the reflected light to the outside is only red light. Since light other than red is absorbed during the transmission of the lure body as described above, the transmitted light is only red light. As a result, if applied, it can become red light (accompanied by colored light).

[0068] Although, as mentioned above, external light enters from various directions, and sunlight reaching the water from above the water surface is mainly considered, this external light (incident light) enters from above the water surface toward the lure in the water in an up-down (vertical) direction or an oblique direction. It is found that on the lure of the present invention, by making such external light (incident light) reflect in a mirror-like manner, for example, in the approximate left-right (lateral) direction or the transverse oblique direction of the lure, the brightness of the reflected light is higher than the usual diffuse reflection (in the case of diffuse reflection), the intensity of the reflected light reflected on the lure (object) can be greatly increased, and as a result, the reflected light can be transmitted to a farther distance. In addition, as needed, the above-mentioned reflected light can be made to pass through the colored translucent resin body (main body) to display the color that the fish likes, so that the lure of the present invention can more accurately and effectively lure piscivorous fish.
