Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of soft baits, and in particular to a soft bait with improved durability. Background Art

[0002] Fish bait can be categorized as real bait or soft bait based on the principle of attracting fish. Real bait is a general term for plant and animal baits that are edible to fish, primarily designed to attract fish by stimulating their appetite. Soft bait, also known as simulated bait or lures, is a small device made of plastic, metal, or other materials that resembles small fish, shrimp, or insects.

[0003] Currently, Senko soft baits, commonly used in lure fishing, are generally made of PVC. To increase durability, the traditional approach involves adjusting the overall hardness of the material to improve tear resistance. However, this approach results in a stiffer overall bait, reducing its flexibility and affecting its swimming performance in the water.

[0004] The utility model patent with the application date of 2020-11-06 and the application number CN202022549015.7 discloses a soft bait, including a bait body, the bait body having a simulated head and a simulated body in the shape of a simulated fish body, a fishing hook is provided inside the simulated body, a weight block is provided on the side wall of the fishing hook, both ends of the fishing hook pass through the inside of the simulated body, two barbs are provided at the bottom of the fishing hook, the fishing hook is provided with a fishing line fixing ring, a storage groove is provided inside the simulated body, a fluorescent stick is placed in the storage groove, a fixing plate for hanging multiple soft baits is provided at the bottom of the fishing line, and a fixing ring is provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate.

[0005] However, the above method, like the prior art, uses the same outer material throughout. If the material is too soft, the bait can easily tear when pulled by the hook, causing it to fall into the water and be lost. This results in short durability, rapid consumption, and increased costs. If the material is too hard, the bait loses flexibility, poor simulation results, and a lower hook-up rate during fishing. This makes it difficult to achieve a balance between durability and softness. Therefore, the present invention proposes a method of locally reinforcing the structure and adjusting the specific gravity to improve hook durability while maintaining the overall softness and flexibility of the bait. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on this, it is necessary to propose a soft bait with improved durability, which is designed for traditional soft baits. The soft baits are too soft and easy to tear, and have short durability, while the soft baits are too hard and have poor flexibility and reduced hooking rate.

[0007] The utility model designs a soft bait with improved durability, comprising a bait body and an O-shaped reinforcement part. The bait body comprises a head, a middle part and a tail connected in sequence. The middle part is provided with an annular groove. The O-shaped reinforcement part is fixed on the annular groove. A counterweight is provided in the O-shaped reinforcement part. The material hardness of the O-shaped reinforcement part is higher than that of the bait body.

[0008] As an embodiment of the present invention, the weight of the head is greater than the weight of the tail.

[0009] As an embodiment of the present invention, an annular protrusion is provided on the head, and the diameter of the annular protrusion is larger than the average diameter of the head.

[0010] As an embodiment of the present invention, the tail portion is provided with a tapered tail, and the cross section of the tapered tail is a cone with a uniformly decreasing diameter.

[0011] As an embodiment of the present invention, spiral stripes are provided on the surfaces of the head and the tail.

[0012] As an embodiment of the present invention, it further comprises a fish hook, which passes through the middle portion and is snapped onto the O-shaped reinforcement portion.

[0013] As an embodiment of the present invention, the O-shaped reinforcement part is a circular column, and the O-shaped reinforcement part is made of hard PVC material with a hardness greater than Shore A 70 degrees. The bait body is made of soft PVC material with a hardness less than Shore A 60 degrees.

[0014] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of counterweight grooves are provided on the O-shaped reinforcement portion, and the counterweight member is a metal wire, which is wound around the counterweight grooves.

[0015] As an embodiment of the present invention, the counterweight is a metal sheet or a metal block, and is clamped between the middle portion and the O-shaped reinforcement portion.

[0016] Technical advantages of this application:

[0017] 1. This new design features an O-shaped reinforcement structure in the middle. The O-shaped reinforcement is made primarily of hard PVC. When a fishhook is hooked on the O-shaped reinforcement, the O-shaped reinforcement is primarily subjected to force when pulled. The contact area between the O-shaped reinforcement and the lure body is large, and the pulling force it receives is much smaller than the pulling force of the fishhook on the lure body. Therefore, the lure will not be easily broken or unhooked, resulting in the loss of the soft lure. This makes the overall structure more tear-resistant and effectively improves overall durability.

[0018] 2. At the same time, the main body is still made of soft PVC material. Due to its softness and elasticity, it shows a natural swinging posture in the water, maintaining the original effect of attracting fish;

[0019] 3. A counterweight is then installed on the O-shaped reinforcement to increase the specific gravity of the soft bait and improve its sinking effect. At the same time, the weight of the head is greater than the weight of the tail, so that the soft bait maintains an inclined posture in the water, increasing the contact area with the water and creating a louder noise during the pulling process, thereby attracting aggressive fish.

[0028] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in combination with the accompanying drawings by way of examples.

[0029] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "installed," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can refer to internal communication between two components or an interaction between two components. However, the phrase "direct connection" indicates that the two connected entities are not connected through an intermediate structure, but are connected to form a whole through a connecting structure. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model relates to the design and manufacture of an improved soft bait, specifically the Senko soft bait for lure fishing. By embedding a hardened O-shaped reinforcement in the middle of the hook, the hook maintains the overall soft bait's softness while enhancing its tear resistance. Furthermore, metal material is incorporated into the O-shaped reinforcement to increase the bait's specific gravity and improve its sinking properties in water. This improved soft bait combines a soft swimming action with hook durability, effectively enhancing the fishing experience.

[0032] Example 1, specifically, in this application:

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a soft bait with improved durability, comprising a bait body 1 and an O-shaped reinforcement 2. The bait body 1 comprises a head 11, a middle portion 12, and a tail 13 connected in sequence. The middle portion 12 is provided with an annular groove 120. The O-shaped reinforcement 2 is fixed to the annular groove 120. The material hardness of the O-shaped reinforcement 2 is higher than that of the bait body 1.

[0034] The main design of the utility model is to add an O-shaped reinforcement part made of hard material to connect the bait body and the fish hook, so as to avoid excessive pulling force between the fish hook and the bait body. The pulling force mainly comes from the tension of the angler's rope, or the fish bites part of the bait body but not the bait, and the tension of the fish hook tears the bait body apart, resulting in the loss of the bait body.

[0035] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the present invention further includes a fish hook 5 , which passes through the middle portion 12 and is snapped onto the O-shaped reinforcement portion 2 .

[0036] Therefore, an O-shaped reinforcement is provided to facilitate the snap-fitting of the fish hook on the O-shaped reinforcement, so that the bait body 1 will not be torn off. The main material of the O-shaped reinforcement is hard PVC material. When the fish hook is hung on the O-shaped reinforcement and pulled, the main force is applied to the O-shaped reinforcement. The contact force area between the O-shaped reinforcement and the bait body is large, and the pulling force is much smaller than the pulling force of the fish hook on the bait body. Therefore, it will not be easily torn off or detached, resulting in the loss of the soft bait. The overall structure has higher tear resistance, which effectively improves the overall durability.

[0037] The O-shaped reinforcement part 2 is a circular column and is made of hard PVC material with a hardness greater than Shore A 70 degrees. The fishing lure body 1 is made of soft PVC material with a hardness less than Shore A 60 degrees.

[0038] The main body is still made of soft PVC material. Because it is soft and elastic, it shows a natural swinging posture in the water, maintaining the original effect of attracting fish.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, to maintain a certain posture, increase the contact area with water, and produce a louder sound, the head 11 is heavier than the tail 13. Specifically, the head 11 is provided with an annular protrusion 111 with a diameter larger than the average diameter of the head 11. The tail 13 is provided with a tapered tail 131 with a cross-section that is a cone with a uniformly decreasing diameter. The surfaces of both the head 11 and tail 13 are provided with spiral stripes 4. The spiral stripes 4 also increase the surface roughness, thereby increasing the contact area with water. If the surface is too smooth, this effect will not be achieved.

[0040] Example 2, based on the above Example 1, in order to improve the sinking effect of the soft bait in the water and prevent the soft bait from floating on the water surface, a counterweight is added to configure the soft bait into a suspended state. Specifically, Figure 3-4 As shown, a counterweight 3 is provided in the O-shaped reinforcement portion 2 , and a plurality of counterweight grooves 20 are provided on the O-shaped reinforcement portion 2 . The counterweight 3 is a metal wire 31 , and the metal wire 31 is wound around the counterweight groove 20 .

[0041] like Figure 5-6 The above is a specific installation method of the utility model, that is, the posture when used in water can maintain a relatively inclined position and semi-suspended in the water. This allows the fish at the bottom of the water to directly observe the soft bait, and can increase the contact area with the water to create a louder sound, thereby improving the attraction effect.

[0042] Example 3: Based on Example 1, the counterweight 3 of the present invention is a metal sheet or a metal block, which is clamped between the middle part 12 and the O-shaped reinforcement part 2. The counterweight 3 can also take other shapes.

[0043] The manufacturing method of this utility model is as follows: hard PVC material is heated and injected into an O-shaped reinforcement mold. After cooling, the hardened O-shaped reinforcement is formed. Metal parts are embedded in the hardened O-shaped reinforcement during the production process. The hardened O-shaped reinforcement is then placed into the mold of the Senko soft bait body and fixed at the intended hook position. Soft PVC material is then heated and injected into the Senko body mold, integrating it with the O-shaped reinforcement. After cooling, the mold is removed to obtain the improved soft bait.

[0044] The various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and the execution order of the method steps is not restricted. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0045] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
