Snag-proof squid lure

Abstract

To provide a squid lure capable of selectively hooking only a squid hugging while avoiding snagging with an obstacle such as a rope, a net or seaweed.SOLUTION: A snag-proof squid lure is configured to reverse and temporarily fix a fishhook part so as to, when being pulled or luring, prevent a hook tip from directly facing an object that is snagged. A temporarily fixed umbrella hook changes to rotate in a forward direction by resistance of tentacles of a hugging squid, an impact of hooking and a temporary fixation release mechanism, allowing the hook tip to quickly hook the squid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1-A

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a squid lure, which is a fishing tackle. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional squid artificial baits (called egi or baits) are designed to accommodate the unique feeding behavior of squids that is different from that of other fish, that is, to capture prey with their tentacles and then embrace them to feed. The hooks on the lures are designed to hook when they touch the arms or body, not the snout. However, this means that they are prone to getting caught on obstacles in the water, resulting in frequent "snags." Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] To provide a fishing tackle for squid which can attract and catch squid without getting caught on mooring ropes, nets for aquaculture pens, or seaweeds present in the water. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] This invention is a lure that has a feature that part or all of the hooks (called umbrella hooks) of conventional lures, which are composed of many hooks and designed to catch anything they touch, are inverted and temporarily fixed, making it specialized for catching only the object that it clings to, thereby achieving both avoidance of getting snagged and catching a fish. Effect of the Invention

[0005] The squid jigs of the present invention can be cast into mooring ropes, nets, and discarded nets where squid like to attach, or into areas of thick seaweed where squid schools enter during spawning, without the fear of getting snagged, and can be used to lure and catch squid. Not only does it improve catches in areas where snagging is common, which was previously difficult, it also prevents damage to corals and seaweed caused by snagging, which has been a problem from the past to the present, and contributes to preventing the risk of fishermen being injured by squid jigs that are left behind while caught in mooring ropes or fishing nets during fishing operations. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] This is an example of an inverted installation of an umbrella hook of a squid artificial bait (bait stick) according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0007] 1A and 1B are side views of one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A, the lure of this embodiment is designed so that the tip of the multi-stage umbrella hook, which is usually made up of two to three stages, folds in the opposite direction to the head direction. In places where seaweed is thin, the same effect can be achieved by inverting only the front umbrella hook on the usage side (towards the head of the lure), which is made up of 2 to 3 tiers, as shown in Figure 1-B. ~Composition, Function and Effect~ Figure 1-A shows an example of a structure where the umbrella hook is not a conventional ring, but a groove is dug in a part of a cylinder (see symbols ▲1▼ and ▲1▼-2), and the hook part is folded back like a folding knife on the body shaft part, and the hook tip is set in the opposite direction to the direction of use, so that the hook tip does not touch obstacles. This inverted state is used when the squid is clinging to the hook and the hook is set (the action of the angler raising the rod and pulling it suddenly to hook the target fish), or when the temporary fixation is released by the temporary fixation release mechanism described later, the hook tip faces the target and the squid is caught. In Figure 1-B, as in Figure 1-A above, the structure of the umbrella hook is not a ring, but a groove (see symbols ▲1▼ and ▲1▼-2) is provided in a part of the cylindrical part, and the main body is connected to the U-shaped ring part (symbol 3) of the umbrella hook via a wire, monoflange, etc., and the structure is fixed in reverse to the body shaft part, and not only does the tip of the hook turn in the opposite direction to the direction of use so that it does not pierce obstacles, but the umbrella hook installed in the reverse direction covers the tip of the umbrella hook in the forward direction at the rear, which functions as a guard to prevent the umbrella hook in the forward direction at the rear from piercing obstacles. As in Figure 1-A, the umbrella hook temporarily fixed in this reverse position is also released from the fixation by the impact of the angler's hook set or by the fixation release mechanism described later, and becomes free with the tip facing forward, hooking the squid, and at the same time the tip of the umbrella hook in the forward direction at the rear is also open to the target. ~Specific examples and variations~ In addition to the structure in Figure 1-A where the umbrella needle is folded so that the tip does not point in the direction of use (towards the head of the lure), examples of inverted installation include a configuration in which an insert pin is provided at the rear of the umbrella needle as shown in Figure 1-A2 and temporarily fixed by inserting it into a hole in the tail of the body (Figure 2), as well as designs that produce a similar effect by installing a fixing part such as a clip to temporarily fix the umbrella needle on anywhere on the body of the lure, or fixing it in an inverted position with a magnet. In addition to the structure in which some of the grooved umbrella hooks in Figure 1-B are installed inverted on the shaft, other examples that produce the same effect include making the umbrella hook installation shaft part of the lure into a flat plate, cutting grooves into it, and installing double-grooved umbrella hooks that rotate in both directions according to the grooves, as shown in Figure 1-B▲2▼. Regarding the temporary fixing and release of the hook, the groove on the cylindrical part of the hook is designed to be slightly narrower than the thickness of the shaft to which it is temporarily fixed, so that there is slight resistance to release. A magnet is used to temporarily fix the hook to the body, so that it will not come off when it comes into contact with seaweed or the rope, but will come off when it comes into contact with the impact of setting the hook or the friction of contact with the squid that has grabbed onto it. In addition, various mechanisms are used, such as a clasp system or a part that acts as a lever for release, so that the hook that is temporarily fixed in the opposite direction can be released with the appropriate impact and friction.
