Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to fishing gear used for yaen fishing, which targets squid such as bigfin reef squid, and more particularly to a yaen rig and a yaen fishing tackle equipped with the same. [Background technology]

[0002] In addition to enjoying the results of fishing, many anglers also enjoy trying difficult fishing techniques. One of these difficult fishing techniques is known as yaen fishing, which targets squid such as bigfin reef squid. This fishing method is completely different from the usual fishing method using a hook attached to live bait or artificial bait, and the bait does not have any hooks for fishing. To fish, a device called a yaen equipped with a separate hook is cast into the sea using a fishing line as a gliding guide, and after the yaen reaches the vicinity of the bigfin reef squid that is feeding on the bait, the squid is caught by the hook attached to the yaen.

[0003] Due to this special fishing method, in this Yaen fishing, the catch can vary greatly depending on how the Yaen moves when the Yaen is thrown in. For this reason, Yaen fishing enthusiasts are trying to improve their catch by adding ingenuity to Yaen fishing tackles, including Yaen. The present applicant has also proposed various ideas as shown in JP 2023-097234 "Yaen and Yaen Fishing Tackle Equipped with the Same". These proposed conventional methods were mainly focused on improving the reliability of fixing and holding the Yaen at a predetermined position on the fishing line and improving the hook's hooking on the squid during preying.

[0004] However, the most difficult thing about yaen fishing is that in situations where visibility is difficult, such as at night, when fishing results are highest, it is difficult to know whether the yaen has reached the right position after gliding into the ocean away from the angler, relying on limited information (such as changes in the tip of the rod, tension of the fishing line, and vibrations and resistance from the fishing line).The various techniques mentioned above only work when the yaen has reached the right position, so it is essential to sense that the yaen has reached the right position as a prerequisite. Of course, a method has been proposed to visually notify the user that the yaen has reached the appropriate position by activating a light-emitting device powered by a battery. However, when the yaen is immersed in conductive seawater, a weak light is always emitted, making it difficult to determine whether the light is indicating that the yaen has reached the appropriate position, and it cannot be said that this method has fully solved the problem. In addition, since the yaen is used in conductive seawater, it is required to have a structure that properly ensures insulation and electrical conductivity, as well as measures against salt deposition after use. However, conventional yaen with an electric light function do not have a structure that fully takes such points into consideration. Even if the yaen reaches the right position, in the case of yaen equipped with a hook gimmick that has been proposed in the past to facilitate hooking of squid, the change in the hook position is irreversible, so it is necessary to pierce the hook into the squid in one chance. In the event that the gimmick does not work smoothly and there is a miss, so to speak, the yaen cannot be restored to the initial state that reached the squid, and the action of piercing the hook again cannot be performed, so the squid cannot be reeled in. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Published Patent Application No. 2023-097234 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention was developed taking into consideration such conventional methods, and its technical objective was to develop a yaen and a yaen fishing tackle that (1) has an improved arrival detection function that allows the angler to know, based on the light emission state, that the yaen has been accurately cast into the desired location, and (2) allows the hook to be restored to its original position when the yaen is cast, allowing the angler to try again with the yaen remaining in place without having to reel it in and pull it up. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The yaen described in claim 1 is a yaen used for yaen fishing, and comprises front and rear fishing line guide sections located above the sliding side main body section that constitutes the rod-shaped main body section, a yaen hook provided at the tip side of the sliding side main body section, and a magnetic attraction piece provided below the front side of the line threading ring in the front fishing line guide section, and is further characterized in that a reach detection switch that turns on and off by magnetic force is provided near the magnetic attraction piece, and the sliding side main body section is provided with a reach indication light-emitting device that has an indication light-emitting body that emits light when powered by a power battery when the reach detection switch is on.

[0008] The yaen described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in addition to the requirements described in claim 1, the arrival indication light-emitting device is arranged on a reinforcing rod that is arranged to connect the front and rear fishing line guide portions.

[0009] The yaen fishing tackle described in claim 3 is a combination of a yaen fishing tackle comprising a live bait tackle and a yaen, wherein the live bait tackle comprises a bait hook attached to the tip of the fishing line and a yaen stopper attached behind it, and this yaen stopper is loosely held on the fishing line between two regulating knobs attached to the fishing line and has a magnetic attraction piece using a magnet piece attached in a hanging state below, while the yaen has the configuration described in claim 1 or 2, and is characterized in that the magnetic attraction piece attached forward and below the fishing line passage hole in the front fishing line guide part comes face-to-face into contact with the magnetic attraction piece in the yaen stopper, thereby activating an arrival detection switch and causing the display light-emitting element to light up.

[0010] The yaen described in claim 4 is a yaen used for yaen fishing, and comprises a fishing line guide portion located above the front and rear end portions of the lower main body that constitutes the sliding side main body portion, a magnetic attraction piece provided below the front side of the fishing line passing ring in the front fishing line guide portion, front and rear retaining rings provided at a position extending downward from the front and rear end portions of the lower main body, and a hook side main body portion that is held movably by these retaining rings, and is characterized in that the hook side main body portion is provided with a yaen hook at the front and a balancer weight at the rear on one side.

[0011] The yaen described in claim 5 is characterized in that, in addition to the requirements described in claim 4, it has an extension side regulating portion and a contraction side regulating portion for regulating the forward and backward movement range of the hook side main body portion.

[0012] The yaen described in claim 6 is characterized in that, in addition to the requirements described in claim 4 or 5, an eccentric end facing downward is formed behind the extension side regulating portion of the main body part on the hook side, a balance weight is provided on the eccentric end, and the center of gravity is configured to be located at a position offset downward by this balance weight, and a yaen hook is attached in front of the main body part on the hook side so that the hooking action portion at its tip faces upward. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the Yaen and Yaen fishing tackle described in claim 1 or 3, it is possible to accurately detect in real time that the Yaen has reached the correct position, so that the operation of hooking the prey with the Yaen hook can be started reliably, resulting in a high catch. Also, since the arrival indication is displayed by light emission, it is easy to confirm that the Yaen has reached the correct position even at night.

[0014] According to the yaen and yaen fishing tackle described in claim 2 or 3, the components of the arrival display device can be arranged on the reinforcing rod provided between the front and rear fishing line guide sections, so that the structure of the yaen hook can be freely designed and a mechanism that makes it easier to catch prey can be adopted, resulting in a high catch rate.

[0015] According to the yaen described in claim 4, by loosening the tension on the fishing line after the yaen has been sent to a specified position and has reached the initial state, the yaen hook, which has been sent to a position below the squid that is eating live bait, can be raised and approached toward the squid, and an action of pulling it toward the yaen body can be performed. In addition, if the yaen hook does not hook sufficiently on the squid's body during this series of actions, tension can be applied to the fishing line again to move the yaen hook away from the squid's body and extend the tip downward, restoring it to the same state as the initial state. This allows the yaen hook to be used again to capture the squid while it is feeding.

[0016] According to the yaen described in claim 5, the extension range of the hook side main body part equipped with the yaen hook, i.e., the range of motion of the balanced weight, can be set, and the restoration characteristics of the yaen posture can be freely determined.

[0017] According to the yaen described in claim 6, by arranging a weight on the lower rear end side of the hook side main body part 4, the yaen can be fed in while stabilizing its posture, and in addition to this, the hooking and piercing action part of the yaen hook on the hook side main body part 4, which is not fixed to the sliding side main body part 3 of the yaen, can be biased so that it always faces upward.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The embodiment of the present invention will be described below as one of the best modes, and various other modes are also included within the technical concept of the present invention. EXAMPLES

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Before describing each component, we will first explain the front-back and up-down directions. In this specification, the fishing line L is used as a reference, and the tip side of the line is the front, and the side closest to the angler A's hand is the back. Also, using the state in which the yaen 1 is suspended from the fishing line L as a reference, the side held by the fishing line L is defined as the top, and the edge direction of the side not held is defined as the bottom. Although some of this has already been described in the Background of the Invention section, in order to understand the present invention, an overview of yaen fishing and a yaen fishing tackle 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and other figures. Yaen fishing is a highly difficult fishing method that mainly targets bigfin reef squids S (hereinafter also referred to as prey S), and no fishing hook for directly catching bigfin reef squids S is provided near live bait B such as horse mackerel. In other words, only a bait hook 13 for hooking live bait B is provided at the tip of the fishing line L, and a yaen stopper 15 is provided behind it. The yaen stopper 15 of the present invention has a characteristic configuration in which it stops and holds the yaen 1 by magnetic force.

[0021] Meanwhile, the yaen 1 is kept in the angler's hand until the prey S starts to be eaten, and once the prey S has been eaten, it is hooked on the fishing line L and slides down along the downward slope of the fishing line L until it reaches the vicinity of the prey S. The yaen hook 43 is then hooked on the underside of the prey S, and the prey S is pulled up. Note that the yaen fishing tackle 10 referred to in the title of the invention and claims refers to the combination of the yaen 1 and a live bait tackle 11 attached to the fishing line L side.

[0022] First, the live bait tackle 11 will be described. This is attached to the tip of a fishing line L, and is equipped with a bait hook 13 for holding live bait B such as horse mackerel at the tip of the fishing line L. Incidentally, when the live bait B is horse mackerel, this bait hook 13 is hooked onto the scale located on the side body near the tail so as not to impede the free swimming of the live bait B. A yaen stopper 15 is provided on the fishing line L behind such a bait hook 13 to stop the yaen 1 being cast and to keep it in that position. As shown in the enlarged view of Fig. 2(a), the yaen stopper 15 is equipped with a magnetic attraction piece 17 at the lower end of a hanger clip 16 that can be described as being shaped like a simple hairpin. The hanger clip 16 is formed with a line holding portion 16a at its upper portion so that it can move freely over a certain range on the fishing line L, and is equipped with a fishing line guide portion 16b that is open at one end to make it easier to introduce the fishing line L. On the other hand, the magnetic attraction piece 17 at the lower end of the hanger clip 16 is, for example, a disk-shaped magnetic piece with the surface of the piece set upright.

[0023] This magnetic attraction piece 17 is paired with the magnetic attraction piece 34 of the yaen 1 described later to achieve close contact by magnetic force, and if the other is a magnet piece, the other magnetic attraction piece 17 or 34 may be a magnetic metal. As described later, in the case of the yaen 1A that uses light to indicate that the yaen 1 has reached the correct position, the magnetic attraction piece 17 uses a magnet, and the magnetic attraction piece 34 on the yaen 1A side uses a magnetic metal other than a magnet. As mentioned above, this yaen stopper 15 is not fixed at a predetermined position on the fishing line L, but is installed freely between two front and rear retaining knobs 18 provided on the fishing line L, and the magnetic attraction piece 17 is always kept hanging down due to its weight balance. The retaining bump 18 may simply be a knot in the fishing line L, or a commercially available float stopper as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 7 may also be used.

[0024] Next, we will explain the Yaen 1A related to claim 1, 2 or 3, which notifies anglers that the Yaen has reached the correct position by emitting light. As shown in Fig. 2, this has a rod-shaped main body 2 as a main component. This rod-shaped main body 2 has a sliding side main body 3 and a hook side main body 4. The sliding side main body 3 and the hook side main body 4 may be a single member, or may be separate members as described in the second embodiment, loosely combined.

[0025] First, the sliding body 3 comprises a lower body 30, and fishing line guides 31 are provided near the front and rear ends of the lower body 30 by stays 32 (the front side is designated as stay 32F and the rear side as stay 32R, as necessary). The fishing line guides 31 are provided at their upper ends with fishing line loops 33, which are made of a metal wire wound in a single spiral shape. This configuration is intended to simplify the task of threading the fishing line L through the fishing line loop 33, and an introduction protrusion 33a and an introduction slit 33b are formed on the free end side of the metal wire that constitutes the fishing line loop 33, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2(a). The front fishing line guide portion 31 is provided with a magnetic attraction piece 34 facing downward and forward of the fishing line loop 33. As already mentioned, the magnetic attraction piece 34 corresponds to the magnetic attraction piece 17 in the live bait tackle 11, and they are magnetically attracted to each other in opposing positions, and in this embodiment, as an example, the magnetic attraction piece 34 on the yaen 1A side is made of a magnetic metal piece, and the magnetic attraction piece 17 in the live bait tackle 11 is made of a permanent magnet. The magnetic attraction piece 34 is disc-shaped to ensure a secure attachment to the magnetic attraction piece 17, with the front of the disk facing forward. As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2(b), the front stay 32F on which the magnetic attraction piece 34 is provided has a reach sensing switch 51 (described later) provided in a lower portion thereof.

[0026] Furthermore, the sliding side main body 3 has a reinforcing rod 35 provided above the lower main body 30 in parallel therewith, and the front and rear ends of this rod are fixed to the middle position in the height direction of the stay 32 of the fishing line guide 31. As a result, the reinforcing rod 35 improves the strength of the entire sliding side main body 3. The main components of the arrival indication light emitting device 5, which will be described later, are provided on the reinforcing rod 35. The rear end side of the reinforcing rod 35 has a holding extension part 351 that intersects the rear stay 32F and protrudes rearward. The holding extension part 351 is attached with an indication light emitting body 55, which is a light emitting member, which will be described later. Furthermore, the sliding body portion 3 is provided with a weight 37 below the lower body 30. This weight 37 is configured to be able to move within a certain range behind the lower body 30, and is provided with a weight stopper piece 38 at the middle position of the lower body 30 to restrict the range of movement.

[0027] Next, the hook side body portion 4 which constitutes the rod-shaped body portion 2 together with the sliding side body portion 3 will be described below. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the hook-side main body 4 is, for example, integral with the sliding-side main body 3. Of course, it may be made of separate members, loosely fixed to each other so that they can extend and retract and slide, and the tip of the member may be attached so that it can swing up and down. At the tip of the hook-side main body portion 4, three sets of three yaen hooks 43 are provided in the front and back as an example with the hooking action direction facing upward. As shown in the enlarged view of Figure 1 as an example, a marker m is provided at the rear end of the yaen 1A so that its position can be visually confirmed by light. For example, this marker m is made of a material using a phosphorescent material or a self-luminous material. Of course, it may be provided in a place other than the rear end of the yaen 1A. The part of the marker m shown in the enlarged view of Figure 1 that extends parallel to the fishing line L also functions as a knob to ensure that the yaen 1A is cast in a stable state.

[0028] The arrival indication light emitting device 5, which has the function of emitting light to indicate that the yaen 1A has accurately abutted against the yaen stopper 15, will be described. Marker m, which contains the light-emitting body already mentioned, is also similar in that it emits light, but it constantly indicates the presence of Yaen 1A, especially at night. In other words, the light-emitting state does not change before and after Yaen 1A comes into contact with the stopper 15, but rather it is a mark that constantly emits light to indicate the position of Yaen 1A, and its function and effect are different. 3 shows the circuit and specific arrangement of components that make up the arrival indication light-emitting device 5. The circuit is formed of an arrival sensing switch 51, a power supply battery 5E, and an indication light-emitting body 55. As an example, the arrival detection switch 51 is a reed switch that turns ON and OFF when magnetic lines approach, and is a so-called A contact that is normally open, in which a reed piece 51r moves to connect two contacts 51p1, 51p2 provided inside the switch. The installation position of this arrival detection switch 51 is near the magnetic attraction piece 34 of the Yaen 1A that does not use a magnet, and as an example, it is fixed to the front stay 32F. In the example shown in Figure 2, the arrival detection switch 51 is provided so as to fit between this stay 32F and the auxiliary stay 32F' arranged in parallel thereto. Conductors 51w from each of the arrival detection switch contacts 51p1, 51p2 are connected to a power source battery 5E or an indicator light 55 using an LED element, for example, by utilizing the reinforcing rod 35 in the sliding side main body 3.

[0029] In the illustrated embodiment, for example, the positive pole side of the power supply battery 51E is connected to the circuit using the reinforcing rod 35, which is a conductor, while for the negative pole side, a conductor 51w runs from the negative pole of the power supply battery 51E to a contact 51p1, and a conductor is further connected from the contact 51p2 to the display light-emitting element 55. Of course, the positive pole side may also be connected to the circuit using a conductor. The power supply battery 5E used here is a lightweight 3V lithium battery used in small fishing floats in this embodiment. The outer cylinder of this battery is a positive electrode outer cylinder 5e carrying the positive electrode terminal, and this positive electrode outer cylinder 5e is brought into contact with the reinforcing rod 35 to form a circuit connection. Furthermore, to make this contact more reliable, a conductive contact-reinforcing sleeve 52 is fitted around the reinforcing rod 35, and this area is secured by a fastening band 53 made of silicone tubing, which bundles the contact-reinforcing sleeve 52 and the power battery 5E together, thereby holding the power battery 5E in place to some extent.

[0030] The negative terminal 5e', which is a wire member protruding from the battery 5E, is bound to the battery 5E and the reinforcing rod 35 by an outer tube 54 made of silicone to make the structure watertight, and a filler c such as silicone sealant is used to ensure sealing. As an example, the battery 5E and the indicator light 55 are preferably provided at the rear of the yaen 1A. In this embodiment, the battery 5E is supported toward the rear of the reinforcing rod 35, and the indicator light 55 is held by a holding extension 351 configured to protrude the reinforcing rod 35 rearward.

[0031] The method of holding the power battery 5E is as described above, but the following mounting method is also adopted for the display light emitting body 55 in order to ensure reliable circuit connection and watertightness. 2, the holding extension 351 is made of conductive wire like the reinforcing rod 35, and its tip is folded back. The supporting outer cylinder 56 for holding the display light emitter 55 is made of a conductive thick pipe-shaped member, which is electrically connected to the reinforcing rod 35 and is held in a state where the positive pole side of the display light emitter 55 is electrically connected to the rear end of the supporting outer cylinder 56. Furthermore, the holding extension portion 351 has a covered conducting wire w extending from the reach sensing switch SW passed therethrough and connected to the negative electrode side of the display light emitter 55 . As for the terminal wire t on the positive pole side of the display light-emitting element 55, in order to further strengthen the contact with the supporting outer tube 56, as shown in the enlarged view of Figure 2, it is bent in a zigzag shape on the outer peripheral surface of the supporting outer tube 56 to ensure a large contact area.

[0032] As for the watertight structure, the light-emitting indicator 55 and the rear area of ​​the support outer cylinder 56 are covered with a silicon tube 57, and the rear open end is closed by a separate transparent blocking piece 58. When the blocking piece 58 is transparent, it also exerts a lens effect, improving the apparent brightness of the indicator 55. As for the power supply battery 5E, since it is a consumable item, it is held by a flexible outer covering tube 54 as shown in Figure 2, so that it is always kept watertight and can be shifted when replacing the battery. On the other hand, regarding the relationship between the magnetizing piece 34 on the yaen 1A side and the magnetizing piece 17 on the yaen stopper 15 on the live bait tackle 11 side, since the reed switch SW opens and closes by magnetic force, the magnetizing piece 17 on the yaen stopper 15 side is configured as a magnet piece. That is, this configuration is to generate a magnetic field around the reed switch SW only when the yaen 1A abuts against the yaen stopper 15, turning the reed switch ON.

[0033] The Yaen 1A of the present invention and the Yaen fishing tackle 10 equipped with it are the optimum embodiment having the configuration described above, and the operating mode in Yaen fishing will be explained below.

[0034] (1) Preparation Preparations at the fishing spot include attaching live bait B to the end of fishing line L and installing the yaen stopper 15. To attach live bait B, the bait hook 13 is hooked onto, for example, the fin of a horse mackerel. This position does not interfere with the horse mackerel's swimming motion. The yaen stopper 15 is attached so that its hanger clip 16 is hooked between two retaining knobs 18 at the front and rear of the fishing line L. The magnetic attraction piece 17, which is the main component of the yaen stopper 15, is attached in such a way that it always hangs down downwards for weight balance. After these preparations are complete, angler A casts it into the sea where he expects to get a bite.

[0035] (2) Selecting Yaen 1A and adjusting the length of action The tip of the fishing line L to which the live bait B is attached moves appropriately according to the movement of the live bait B. Naturally, the fishing line L is reeled out so as not to impede this movement. In this state, when the prey S, a bigfin reef squid, finds the live bait B and eats it, the sensation is transmitted to the angler A via the fishing line L. This state continues for several minutes, and the angler A casts the yaen 1A aiming for the moment when the prey S is completely focused on eating the bait. The angler A roughly predicts the size of the prey S based on the strength of the force transmitted to the fishing line L, selects the size of the yaen 1A that matches it, and further selects the yaen 1A with dimensions that will place the yaen hook 43 of the hook side main body part 4 in an appropriate position relative to the prey S.

[0036] Angler A also sets the movable range of sinker 37, which is movably attached to the lower body of sliding body section 3. In setting this, sinker stopper piece 38, which is loosely fixed, is shifted by hand to loosely fix it. Regarding the movable range of sinker 37, a position is selected in which, particularly when sinker 37 is positioned at the front end of the movable range, yaen hook 43 side can maintain a front-down posture until yaen 1A reaches yaen stopper 15.

[0037] (3) Yaen-tsuri In this state, the yaen 1A, whose overall length has been adjusted, is hung on the fishing line L. At this time, the fishing line threading ring 33 in the fishing line guide portion 31 is a single-wound spiral ring, and the presence of the introduction protrusion 33a and the introduction slit 33b allows the fishing line to be hooked around the fishing line threading ring 33 simply by fitting the fishing line L between them. In addition, when it is difficult to see the position of Yaen 1A, such as at night, a light source such as a headlamp can be shone on a marker m made of a phosphorescent material to make it glow, thereby improving the visibility of Yaen 1A.

[0038] (4) Casting the Yaen 1A and reaching the Yaen stopper If you let go of the Yaen 1A in your hand in this state, as shown in Figure 1, the Yaen 1A will slide forward and downward, using the fishing line L as a suspension member, until it reaches the sea. By approaching the prey S with the hook side main body part 4 in such a downward-facing state, the yaen hook 43 does not collide with the prey S being caught, and the yaen 1A can maintain the preying state until it reaches a sufficient position.

[0039] When the Yaen 1A, which has been threaded through the fishing line L at the end of the rod, reaches close to the live bait B, i.e., near the end of the fishing line L, the magnetic attraction piece 34 provided on the sliding side main body 3 of the Yaen 1A and the magnetic attraction piece 17 on the Yaen stopper 15 of the live bait rig 11 come into face-to-face contact. In this state, the magnetic forces acting on each other cause the Yaen 1A to stop at a position based on the Yaen stopper 15, and it will stay in that position even if the fishing line L becomes slack. In other words, the Yaen 1A will not move back as the fishing line L becomes slack. At this time, the yaen stopper 15 on the live bait rig 11 is attached relatively loosely to the fishing line by the hanger clip 16, so even if the yaen thrown in here collides with it, the impact is not transmitted directly to the prey S being eaten, and as a result, the prey S does not escape.

[0040] (5) A light signal that indicates the arrival of the yaen stopper In this way, when the yaen 1A approaches the yaen stopper 15 on the live bait tackle 11 side and the magnetic action piece 17 and the magnetic attraction action piece 34 are magnetically attracted to each other, the arrival detection switch 51 arranged near the stay 32F is also affected by the magnetic field generated by the magnetic action piece 17. This causes the reed piece 51r inside the arrival detection switch 51 to move, connecting the two contacts 51p1 and 51p2 that were in a disconnected state (OFF state), and creating a closed circuit between the power supply battery E and the indicator light-emitting body 55. This causes the indicator light-emitting body 55 attached to the holding extension part 351 on the rear end side of the yaen 1A to receive power and emit light. Furthermore, while the magnetizing piece 17 and the magnetizing piece 34, which are made up of magnets and which constitute the yaen stopper 15, are magnetically attracted to each other, the light emission state continues, so that angler A can confirm that the yaen 1A is being properly held by the yaen stopper 15 in the sea. EXAMPLES

[0041] Next, we will explain the structure of the Yaen 1B, which allows the angler to send the Yaen close to the prey and, even if it fails to hook the prey with the Yaen hook 43 after it has become magnetically attached to the Yaen stopper 15 (hook operation start state P0: Figure 4 (a-2)), restore its posture to the hook operation start state P0 again (Figure 6 (b-3)) and attempt to hook the prey. As shown in Figure 3, the Yaen 1B relating to claims 4 to 6 differs from Example 1 in that the sliding side main body portion 3 and the hook side main body portion 4, which is also the rod-shaped main body portion 2, are not formed as a single unit, but are constructed as separate members.

[0042] The Yaen 1B will be described below. First, the sliding side main body 3 of the Yaen 1B has stays 32 (the front side is designated as stay 32F and the rear side as stay 32R as necessary) at both front and rear ends of the main body 30A formed of a linear member, which are bent downward. Fishing line guides 31 are provided on the upper side of the bent parts between the main body 30A and the front and rear stays 32. The upper ends of these fishing line guides 31 are equipped with fishing line threading rings 33, which are made of a metal wire material wound in a single spiral shape. This configuration is intended to simplify the task of threading the fishing line L through the fishing line threading ring 33, and an introduction protrusion 33a and an introduction slit 33b are formed on the free end side of the metal wire material that constitutes the fishing line threading ring 33, as shown in the enlarged view on the right side of FIG. 3. Further, below the fishing line guide portion 31 of the front stay 32F, a magnetic attraction piece 34 is provided for magnetically attracting the magnetic attraction piece 17 constituting the yaen stopper 15 provided on the live bait rig 11.

[0043] Meanwhile, below the front and rear stays 32F and 32R, there are provided ring-shaped retaining rings 36 (where the front side is referred to as the front retaining ring 36F and the rear side is referred to as the rear retaining ring 36R as necessary) with their openings facing the front-rear direction. The hook-side main body 4, which is also the rod-shaped main body 2, is slidably attached to the opening of the retaining ring 36. The hook-side main body portion 4 will be described below. The needle-side main body 4 is a linear member formed into a straight line, and an eccentric end 41 is provided at its rear end, which is bent downward into a crank shape. As an example, the eccentric end 41 holds a balance weight 42, and more specifically, the linear member constituting the eccentric end 41 holds the balance weight 42 in a state in which it penetrates, and the end of the eccentric end 41 is bent to prevent the balance weight 42 from coming off. As a result, the balance weight 42 is positioned substantially downward, somewhat offset by an offset dimension d from the straight portion of the hook-side main body 4.

[0044] Furthermore, the straight portions of the hook-side main body 4 are slidably attached so as to pass through the openings of the retaining ring 36 provided below the stay 32. The tip of the hook-side main body 4 is provided with a yaen hook 43 with the hooking action direction facing upward. As an example, three sets of two yaen hooks 43 and one yaen hook are provided in front and back. A shrinkage side regulating portion 44 is provided at a position slightly rearward from the rearmost end of these yaen hooks, and this is, for example, a protruding member that is bent so as to extend downward, and is a member that prevents the yaen hooks from slipping out rearward through the opening in the front retaining ring 36F. In addition, the portion of the eccentric end 41 to which the balancer weight 42 is not attached essentially serves as the extension side restricting portion 45 .

[0045] The above-mentioned members constitute the Yaen 1B, and the operation state will be described below with reference to Figures 4 to 6. Note that, since the description is given in the first embodiment, common points will be omitted or will be described briefly. (a-1: Yaen throwing step) First, the angler A prepares the live bait tackle and casts the live bait B into the sea using the means already explained, and then prepares the yaen tackle, and senses from the vibration of the fishing rod and the pulling force that a prey S such as a bigfin reef squid has started to prey on the live bait B in the live bait tackle 11. After that, as shown in Figure 4(a-1), the angler guides and suspends the fishing line L inside the fishing line guide portion 31 of the yaen tackle 1B, and casts it into the sea. The cast yaen 1B sinks until the magnetic attraction piece 34 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic attraction piece 17 constituting the yaen stopper 15 of the live bait rig 11. In this way, when the yaen 1B glides through the water, the balancer weight 42 always hangs down vertically. Therefore, the axial position of the hook side main body part 4, which is held in an unfixed state, is such that the crank end 41, which holds the balancer weight 42, is always downward, and the tip of the yaen hook 43, which is used to hook the body of the prey S, is always held facing upward.

[0046] (a-2: Hook operation start state P0) As shown in Fig. 4(a-2), the tip of the hook-side main body 4 of the yaen 1B is extended relative to the sliding-side main body 3 while remaining lowered. Here, the state in which the magnetic attraction piece 34 near the upper side of the front stay 32F reacts to and is magnetically attracted to the magnetic attraction piece 17 constituting the yaen stopper 15 of the live bait rig 11 is defined as the hook operation start state P0. In this hook operation start state, the yaen hook 43 of the yaen 1B remains in a position where it does not come into contact with the underside of the prey (Bigfin reef squid) S. Whether or not this state has occurred is judged by inference from the vibrations transmitted from the fishing rod, the tension of the fishing line L, and the like.

[0047] (a-3~5: Hook operation) Next, the yaen hook 43 is brought close to the prey S, and the prey S is caught by hooking the body of the prey S with the tip of the hook. The specific operation method and the movement of the yaen 1B are as shown in Figures 4(a-3) to (a-5), and will be explained below with reference to these figures. First, as shown in Fig. 4(a-3), the angler A loosens the fishing line L to make the yaen 1B sink. That is, from the state in which tension had been applied to the fishing line L, the angler lays down the fishing rod or lets out some of the fishing line L from the reel, thereby releasing the tension on the fishing line L. As a result, as shown in Fig. 5(a-4), due to the weight of the balance weight 42 arranged on the rear end side of the yaen 1B, the rear end side of the yaen 1B starts to sink around the yaen stopper 15, and the hook side main body 4 on the opposite side of the yaen 1B rises. As a result, the yaen hook 43 attached to the hook side main body 4 approaches the vicinity of the prey S. When the rear end of the yaen 1B sinks further, as shown in Fig. 5(a-5), the rod-shaped main body 2, which is held in an unfixed state by the two retaining rings 36 at the front and rear of the sliding side main body 3, moves backward, and the hook side main body 4 retreats or contracts relative to the yaen 1B. As a result, the yaen hook 43 of the hook side main body 4 moves toward the rear side of the sliding side main body 3 while remaining close to the prey S. This movement allows the yaen hook 43 to hook and capture the prey S with its hook tip.

[0048] (b: Restoration to the state P0 where the needle operation starts) Figure 5(b) shows a case where the tip of the yaen hook 43 is unable to hook the prey S. In this case, the rod-shaped main body 2 moves rearward until the contraction side regulating part 44 abuts against the front retaining ring 36F. If the angler A waits with the fishing line L released from tension, but does not feel the fishing line L being pulled when the prey S tries to escape, he can determine that the yaen hook 43 has reached a state where it is no longer hooked on the prey S, and proceeds to the task of restoring the position of the yaen 1B to the hook operation start state P0 described above.

[0049] (b-1~2: Restore operation) First, fisherman A checks the vibrations and pulling force from fishing line L to confirm that prey S is continuing to eat live bait B, and then operates the fishing rod and reel appropriately to apply tension to fishing line L again. When tension is applied to the fishing line L by this operation, the fishing line guide portion R of the rear stay 32 is pulled up by the fishing line L, and the posture of the yaen 1B gradually changes to a rearward upward position, as shown in Fig. 6(b-1). As the rear end portion further rises, the rod-shaped main body 2, which had been moving rearward until the contraction-side regulating portion 44 abutted against the front retaining ring 36F, begins to gradually extend forward, as shown in Fig. 6(b-1).

[0050] (b-3: Restoration to the hook operation start state P0 completed) As the rear end of the yaen 1B continues to rise, the rod-shaped main body 2 continues to move forward so as to extend forward, as shown in FIG. 6(b-3), and eventually the extension side regulating part 45, which is the bent part of the eccentric end 41 at the end of the rod-shaped main body 2, abuts against the outside of the rear retaining ring 36R. The angler A feels the impact of this abutment through the fishing line L and understands that the return to the hook operation start state P0 has been completed. After that, he operates the fishing rod and reel appropriately to try again to catch the prey S by hooking the tip of the yaen hook 43 on the body of the prey S as shown in (a-3) to (a-5) above. Of course, if it is determined that the prey S has not been caught after another attempt, the operation shown in Fig. 6 (b-1) to (b-3) is repeated to restore the state to the hook operation start state P0 again and another attempt is made to catch the prey S. Since such an operation of restoring the state to the hook operation start state P0 can be performed while the prey S continues to prey on the live bait B of the live bait trap 11, the probability of catching the prey S can be significantly increased. EXAMPLES

[0051] As shown in Figure 7, Example 3 is an example in which an arrival indication light-emitting device 5, which allows the angler described in Example 1 to know accurately in real time that the angler has reached the appropriate position, is applied to a angler 1B which enables the angler to restore its posture to the hook operation start state P0 described in Example 2. The embodiment shown in Fig. 7 will be explained below. This embodiment comprises each of the components that make up the arrival display device 5 described in Example 1. Also, as in Example 2, the hook body 4 is configured separately from the main body 30A of the yaen so that it can slide. Therefore, each element of the arrival light emitting device 5 is compactly arranged in a linear frame on the main body 30A side, which corresponds to the reinforcing rod 35 described in Example 1. For this reason, the one shown in Fig. 7 has an improved mounting form for each element arranged on the main body 30A.

[0052] (Simplification of frame elements) First, as shown in the enlarged view of Fig. 7, the fishing line guide body 31F arranged above the tip side of the main body 30A is an independent member equipped with a binding piece 31F' bent at a right angle downward in a loop shape. The magnetic attraction piece 34 arranged below the fishing line guide body 31F is made of a wire bent into an L-shape with a magnetic metal attached to the tip, and the other end of the wire is attached as a binding piece 34'. In the illustrated embodiment, the magnetic metal at the tip is made of a commonly used hexagonal nut with a through hole on one side, into which the wire is inserted and fixed with solder. As shown in the figure, the fishing line guide body 31F and the magnetic attraction piece 34 are fixed by bundling the three wire rods, the wire rod constituting the main body portion 30A and the respective bundling pieces (31F', 34'), with the fixing sleeve b in an aligned state. As an example, the fishing line guide body 31F is fixed with the loop-shaped portion facing upward as the upper stage, the magnetic attraction piece 34 is fixed with the wire rod of the main body portion 30A as the lower stage. Then, at a position slightly forward from the vicinity of this fixed position, the wire rod of the main body portion 30A is bent downward to form the stay 32F. A ring that constitutes a front retaining ring 36F is formed below this stay 32F. A reach sensing switch 51 is disposed near the upper end of this stay 32F, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG.

[0053] Next, the structure of the rear end side of the main body 30A will be described. As shown in Figure 7, the rear end side is provided with a fishing line guide body 31R bent into a loop shape at the upper end side of the stay 32R, and a rear retaining ring 36R having a ring shape is provided at the lower end side of one of the stays 32R. Next, a binding piece 351' on the free end side of the display light emitter holding frame 55f, which corresponds to the holding extension body 351 of the first embodiment, is bound to the stay 32R at approximately the center thereof and integrally fixed thereto by a fixing sleeve b. The stay 32R is bound to the bundling piece 30A' bent at the rear end side of the main body portion 30A described above, and is fixed integrally thereto by a fixing sleeve b. As described above, by disposing the members constituting the arrival indication device 5 only on the main body portion 30A side, the sliding structure of the hook body portion 4 is made possible.

[0054] (Improved contact stabilization) Next, another embodiment of the contact strengthening sleeve 52 for further ensuring contact between the main body portion 30A and the power battery 5E will be described. As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view in the lower right of Figure 7, this contact-strengthening sleeve 52 is a cylindrical sleeve that has been crushed and deformed into an ∞ shape, i.e., a horizontal figure eight shape, and has two tunnel-like cylindrical interiors 52h that are connected in a gourd shape when viewed in cross section. Battery stopper 52' ​​is fitted into cylindrical portion 52h. As an example, battery stopper 52' ​​is formed by folding back a folded portion of a wire material bent into a substantially U-shape in plan view, and then folding it back into an L-shape in side view to form battery pressing portion 52s'. To explain the mounting form using these, the main body 30A and the power battery 5E are secured in place with a fastening band 53 while they are aligned with the recessed sections on the front and back sides of the contact enhancing sleeve 52. The free end of the battery stopper 52' ​​is then inserted and secured into the cylindrical interior h at the end of the contact enhancing sleeve 52 until the battery pressing section 52s' of the battery stopper 52' ​​abuts against the end face of the power battery 5E. This structure can achieve the following additional effects. The first effect is that the cross section of the contact strengthening sleeve 52 is infinity-shaped, so that the main body 30A and the power battery 5E fit into the recesses, increasing the contact area and enabling stable power supply. The second effect is that the main body 30A, the contact strengthening sleeve 52, and the power battery 5E can be disassembled and the contact surfaces of each element can be easily cleaned. As a result, poor power supply due to dirt that accumulates during use and inhibits electrical conductivity can be avoided. The third effect is that this configuration can double the contact surface of the contact strengthening sleeve 52, making it possible to shorten the size of the contact strengthening sleeve itself. The fourth effect is that the battery pressing portion 52s' of the battery stopper 52' ​​contacts the end of the power battery 5E to ensure electrical conductivity, while being attached to restrict the movement of the free end side (positive pole side) of the power battery 5E, preventing the power battery 5E from falling off.

[0055] (Improved frame deformation suppression) Next, in the yaen 1B that can restore to the hook operation start state P0 equipped with the arrival indication light-emitting device 5, in the structure in which the extension side regulating part 45 described in the second embodiment is provided at only one place, there is a risk that the main body part 30 may be deformed in a bow shape as shown by the arrow in FIG. 8(A). In other words, this bow-shaped deformation may cause various problems such as the components constituting the arrival indication light-emitting device 5 that are collectively attached to the main body part 30A described above, such as the power supply battery 5E, to fall off from the wire part (such as the main body part 30A), or the wiring to be broken. For this reason, it is necessary to suppress the deformation of the main body part 30A, and as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8(B), in addition to the extension side regulating part 45 provided at the rear end of the hook main body part 4 in the third embodiment, a new extension side regulating part 45' is provided on the front side of the extension side regulating part 45. In other words, this added extension side regulating part 45' is disposed in a position forward from the extension side regulating part 45 on the rear end side by the distance between the front and rear retaining rings 36.

[0056] Here, the load of the yaen 1 when catching the prey S, which causes such a bow-shaped deformation, will be explained. When the prey S is caught on the yaen hook 43 of the hook main body 4, as shown in FIG. 8(B), the bigfin reef squid, which is an example of the prey S, first senses that the yaen hook 43 has pierced a part of its body and tries to escape from the spot by spraying seawater, etc. At this time, the hook main body 4 moves so as to extend toward the tip of the yaen due to the movement of the prey S. When this movement occurs, the extension side regulating part 45' on the tip side and the extension side regulating part 45 on the rear end side abut against the front retaining ring 36F and the rear retaining ring 36R, respectively. As a result, the hook main body 4 is prevented from extending further, and the force from the prey S that continues to come out is dispersed and received at the abutment parts of the front and rear retaining rings 36. On the other hand, the catching action of the fishing line L, which is reeled in with the confidence that the prey S has been caught, pulls the bait hook 13 at the tip of the live bait rig 11 up to the loop portion of the fishing line guide portion 31F located above the tip of the main body portion 30A, and while it is engaged here, acts to pull the entire yaen 1 toward the rear end. As a result, the action of the prey and the action of the fishing line causes the upper and lower opposing sides of the nearly rectangular frame to shift in opposite directions, causing an overall deformation into a parallelogram in side view. Therefore, as shown in Figure 8(B), deformation of the main body part 30A is suppressed as much as possible, and damage to the components of the arrival indication light-emitting device 5 provided therein is avoided.
