Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing lure for catching cephalopods. [Background technology]
[0002] Cephalopoda is a group of invertebrate mollusks that includes octopuses, squids, nautiluses, and crayfish.
[0003] Egi are used for fishing by tying them together to catch cephalopods. Egi are generally cylindrical, streamlined or fish-shaped, with a trapping section at the end where fishing hooks are arranged radially.
[0004] When the egi prepared in this way is submerged in water, cephalopods such as squids and octopuses mistake it for bait and try to eat it, grasping the egi with their legs, and the legs or body get caught in the catching part, resulting in the egi being captured.
[0005] In the case of such egi, the hook-shaped catching part is exposed at the end, so when fishing underwater, the catching part can get caught on waste nets, ropes, seaweed, etc., which takes time to remove and in severe cases can even cause damage to the catching part, which can lead to disputes between fishermen and anglers due to the catching part getting caught in the waste net. Furthermore, egi that are lost due to waste nets can also become a factor in polluting the marine environment.
[0006] Patent Document 1 discloses an egi that has two catches at the end and middle of the body.
[0007] However, although the squid jig of Patent Document 1 has the effect of increasing the number of trapping parts installed and thus improving the catch, it has the disadvantage that the two trapping parts are completely exposed, which increases the possibility of the trapping parts becoming entangled with discarded nets, ropes, seaweed, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] KR10-2021-0112781A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] In contrast, the present invention has been devised to address the above-mentioned conventional problems, and aims to provide an egi for cephalopod fishing that improves catches while preventing the catching part from getting caught on other objects, thereby reducing the loss of egi and spreading an environmentally friendly leisure culture. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an egi for fishing for cephalopods, comprising: a first body; a first capturing portion located at a rear end of the first body; a second body spaced a predetermined distance from the rear end of the first body and connected to the first capturing portion; a pocket portion formed at the rear end of the second body; a second capturing portion detachably installed in the pocket portion; a first hidden guide extending from the peripheral side of the rear end of the first body to the rear end and surrounding the first capturing portion; and a second hidden guide extending from the peripheral side of the rear end of the second body to the rear end and surrounding the second capturing portion.
[0011] It is preferable that the device further includes a hinge portion connecting the first catch portion and the second body.
[0012] It is preferable that the bag further includes a buoyancy adjusting member that is inserted into the pocket in place of the second catch.
[0013] It is preferable that the buoyancy be adjusted according to the material of the buoyancy adjustment member or the depth to which the buoyancy adjustment member is inserted into the pocket portion.
[0014] It is preferable that the pocket further includes a fixing protrusion formed on an inner circumferential surface of the pocket.
[0015] It is preferable that the device further includes an insertion hole formed through the first body, and a light emitting member inserted into the insertion hole.
[0016] It is preferable that the insertion hole further includes a reflective member located on an inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole.
[0017] It is preferable that the first body further includes a weight connector located on one side of the lower part of the first body. Effect of the Invention
[0018] According to the squid jig for cephalopod fishing of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. The catching part having a structure like a fish hook is wrapped around a hidden guide, so that the catching part can be concealed from cephalopods and prevented from being lost due to being caught on discarded nets, ropes, seaweed, etc. in the water.
[0019] The body of the squid jig is divided into two parts and connected at the hinge so that it can move like a real living bait in the water, which increases the attraction effect for cephalopods.
[0020] By obtaining an attractant effect for cephalopods through the configuration of reflective members and light-emitting members, the catch is improved and the visibility of the squid jig itself is increased, making it easier to grasp its position from outside the water.
[0021] By adjusting the material of the buoyancy adjusting member inserted into the pocket and the depth of insertion, the buoyancy of the egi can be adjusted according to changes in the tide and the water depth, allowing the egi to maintain an appropriate angle in the water.

[0023] The above objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing in detail preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the course of this description, the thickness of lines and the size of components may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of description. In addition, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and may vary depending on the intention or practice of a user or operator. Therefore, the definitions of such terms should be described based on the overall contents of this specification.
[0024] Furthermore, the described embodiments are provided as examples for explaining the invention, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.
[0025] Hereinafter, a lure for catching cephalopods according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an egi for cephalopod fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first body 100, a first capturing portion 110, a second body 200, a second capturing portion 210, a first hidden guide 120, and a second hidden guide 220.
[0027] The squid jig for cephalopod fishing according to an embodiment of the present invention is roughly divided into a first body 100 and a second body 200.
[0028] The front end of the first body 100 is connected to the fishing line 10. A line connecting part 101 that connects the first body 100 and the fishing line 10 may be located at the front end of the first body 100.
[0029] In this specification, as shown in FIG. 1, the side to which the fishing line 10 is connected is referred to as the front end, and the opposite side is referred to as the rear end.
[0030] The first body 100 may be configured in a cone shape with the front end at the apex, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in a shape imitating the shape of a fish head, etc.
[0031] A first catcher 110 is located at the rear end of the first body 100 .
[0032] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first capturing part 110 is located at a predetermined length extending from the rear end of the first body 100, and has a number of hook-shaped bent needles arranged radially so that it can approach the squid jig or catch the mouth, legs, or other body parts of the cephalopod holding the squid jig.
[0033] A weight connector 102 is located on one side of the lower portion of the first body 100. The weight connector 102 is configured in a ring shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in any shape capable of connecting a heavy component such as a weight.
[0034] By connecting a weight or other component having a predetermined weight to the weight connecting portion 102, the horizontal position of the egi can be easily maintained in the water depending on the operating conditions.
[0035] An insertion hole 131 is positioned in the first body 100. The insertion hole 131 is formed through one side of the first body 100.
[0036] The light emitting member 130 is inserted into the insertion hole 131. The light emitting member 130 is formed in a rod shape and is inserted from one side of the insertion hole 131 to the other side thereof so as to penetrate the insertion hole 131.
[0037] The light emitting member 130 is configured to emit light, and may include a small battery and an LED, or may be made of a fluorescent material or a luminous material.
[0038] A reflective member that reflects light is located on the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole 131. The reflective member is formed by applying a sticker or paint made of a material that reflects light.
[0039] Cephalopods tend to be attracted to light and objects that reflect light, and the configuration of the light-emitting member 130 and the reflecting member can be used to attract cephalopods, thereby improving fishing results, and also increasing the visibility of the squid jig itself, making it easier to grasp its position from outside the water.
[0040] The first hidden guide 120 extends from the peripheral edge side of the rear end of the first body 100 toward the rear end side.
[0041] Specifically, the first hidden guide 120 is formed in the form of a number of long plates, and the first hidden guides 120 are arranged along the peripheral side of the rear end of the first body 100 at predetermined intervals and are positioned to surround the first capturing portion 110.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first hidden guide 120 can be configured to have a curved surface and is made of a member having elasticity, so that repair of the first catch portion 110 can be facilitated.
[0043] The first hidden guide 120 is configured to wrap around the first capturing part 110, thereby shielding the capturing part from cephalopods and preventing it from getting caught in waste nets, ropes, seaweed, etc. in the water and being lost.
[0044] The second body 200 is located at the rear end of the first body 100. Specifically, the second body 200 is located at a predetermined distance from the rear end of the first body 100, and the front end of the second body 200 is connected to the first catcher 110.
[0045] That is, the first catcher 110 is located between the first body 100 and the second body 200 that are spaced apart from each other, and the first catcher 110 and the tip of the second body 200 are connected to each other through the hinge part 300 .
[0046] The first body 100 and the second body 200 are configured to be hinged around the hinge unit 300, so that the first body 100 and the second body 200 can move like real live bait in water, thereby increasing the attraction effect for cephalopods.
[0047] The second body 200 is configured in a cone shape with the rear end at the apex, and the first body 100 and the second body 200 may be configured to form a streamlined shape when connected as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The first body 100 and the second body 200 may also be configured to form a fish shape when connected.
[0048] A pocket 230 is formed at the rear end of the second body 200. The pocket 230 is a space formed inside the second body 200 from the rear end to the front end. The second catcher 210 or the buoyancy adjustment member 250 may be installed through the pocket 230.
[0049] The second capture portion 210 is detachably installed in the pocket portion 230. The capture portion can be detachably installed in the pocket portion 230 through a fitting portion 211 that is sandwiched and fitted in the pocket portion 230.
[0050] The second capturing part 210, like the first capturing part 110, is positioned extending a predetermined length from the rear end of the second body 200 when installed in the second body 200, and has a number of needles bent into a hook shape and arranged radially, and may be configured in double or more layers as shown in FIG. 2.
[0051] In the case where there is no net or rope on the bottom of the water, as described above, the second catching part 210 can be further installed to obtain more catches.
[0052] The second hidden guide 220 extends from the peripheral edge side of the rear end of the second body 200 toward the rear end side.
[0053] Specifically, the second hidden guide 220, like the first hidden guide 120, is formed in the form of multiple long plates, and multiple second hidden guides 220 are arranged along the peripheral side of the rear end of the second body 200 at predetermined intervals, and are positioned to surround the second capturing portion 210 when it is installed.
[0054] The second hidden guide 220 can also be configured to have a curved surface, and can be made of a member having elasticity.
[0055] 5 and 6, the buoyancy adjustment member 250 is inserted into the pocket portion 230. Specifically, the buoyancy adjustment member 250 is inserted into the pocket portion 230 in a state in which the second capture portion 210 has been removed from the pocket portion 230 and is not installed.
[0056] The buoyancy adjustment member 250 is inserted into the pocket 230 to adjust the buoyancy of the squid jig. The buoyancy adjustment member 250 is made of various buoyancy materials such as plastic, metal, wood, and fishing floats, and can be installed in the pocket 230 to adjust the buoyancy of the squid jig.
[0057] Also, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the buoyancy of the squid jig can be adjusted by adjusting the depth to which the buoyancy adjustment member 250 is inserted into the pocket portion 230 without changing the material of the buoyancy adjustment member 250.
[0058] The buoyancy adjustment member 250 adjusts the buoyancy of the lure according to changes in the tide and water depth, allowing the lure to maintain an appropriate angle in the water.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 4, a fixing protrusion 231 is located on the inner circumferential surface of the pocket portion 230.
[0060] The fixing protrusion 231 is formed to protrude along the length direction of the inner peripheral surface of the pocket portion 230, thereby fixing the fitting portion 211 of the second capturing portion 210 and the buoyancy adjustment member 250 at a position inserted into the pocket portion 230.
[0061] According to the squid jig for cephalopod fishing of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
[0062] The catching part having a structure like a fish hook is wrapped around a hidden guide, so that the catching part can be concealed from cephalopods and prevented from being lost due to being caught on discarded nets, ropes, seaweed, etc. in the water.
[0063] The body of the squid jig is divided into two parts and connected at the hinge so that it can move like a real living bait in the water, which increases the attraction effect for cephalopods.
[0064] The configuration of reflective and light-emitting members can attract cephalopods, thereby improving fishing results, and also improves the visibility of the squid jig itself, making it easier to grasp its position from outside the water.
[0065] By adjusting the material of the buoyancy adjusting member inserted into the pocket and the depth of insertion, the buoyancy of the egi can be adjusted according to changes in the tide and the water depth, allowing the egi to maintain an appropriate angle in the water.
[0066] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiment. That is, a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make many changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims, and the equivalents of all such appropriate changes and modifications should be considered to belong to the scope of the present invention.
