Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to lures. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a lure used for octopus fishing, etc. The lure described in Patent Document 1 has bait attached to its body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-176760 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] One of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide a lure that can suitably attract target creatures such as octopuses. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] A lure according to a first aspect of the present disclosure includes a first body, a second body, and a vibrating body. The second body is swingably connected to the first body via a connecting member and has a hollow portion. The vibrating body is disposed in the hollow portion and is vibrably connected to the second body. At least a portion of the second body is configured to be light-transmitting.
[0006] According to the lure of the first aspect, the second body swings relative to the first body, resulting in greater movement in the water. This allows the lure to attract target creatures. Furthermore, the lure can draw the target creatures' attention to the second body by the vibration of the vibrating body. This allows the lure to attract target creatures.
[0007] The lure on the second side according to the first side includes a locking portion configured to lock a fixing member that fixes the bait wound on the first body. The locking portion is configured to be provided on the first body.
[0008] According to the lure of the second aspect, bait can be fixed to the first body. As a result, the lure can suitably attract target creatures by the bait fixed to the first body. Furthermore, the lure's second body can oscillate relative to the first body to which the bait is fixed. As a result, the lure can suitably attract target creatures by the oscillating second body as well. Furthermore, the lure can prevent the second body from being hidden by the bait. As a result, the lure can attract target creatures' attention to the second body by the vibration of the vibrating body. Therefore, the lure can suitably attract target creatures.
[0009] In a luer of a third aspect according to the second aspect, the engaging portion includes a hole into which the fixing member is inserted.
[0010] According to the lure of the third aspect, the fixing member can be prevented from loosening from the locking portion, and therefore the lure can prevent the bait wound on the first body from coming off the first body.
[0011] In a luer of a fourth aspect according to the second or third aspect, the engaging portion includes a recess into which the fixing member is inserted.
[0012] According to the lure of the fourth aspect, the fixing member can be prevented from loosening from the locking portion. Therefore, the lure can prevent the bait wound on the first body from coming off the first body. Also, the angler can fix the bait to the first body by hooking the fixing member into the recess. Therefore, the angler can easily attach and detach the bait to and from the first body.
[0013] The lure of the fifth aspect according to any one of the first to fourth aspects includes a weight portion, the weight portion being configured to be attached to the first body.
[0014] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the lure can sink due to the weight portion. Furthermore, the lure can prevent the weight portion from interfering with the swinging of the second body. For example, the lure can swing the second body in the water more than when the weight portion is attached to the second body. Therefore, the lure can effectively attract the target organism.
[0015] In a sixth aspect of the lure according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the vibrating body is configured to reflect light.
[0016] According to the lure of the sixth aspect, the light reflected by the vibrator can attract the target creature to the lure, so that the lure can suitably attract the target creature.
[0017] The lure of the seventh aspect, which follows the first to sixth aspects, includes a ring-shaped member and a hook portion. The ring-shaped member is configured to be attached to a first body and to which a fishing line is connected. The hook portion is configured to be attached to a second body.
[0018] According to the lure of the seventh aspect, when the lure is manipulated by an angler via a fishing line, the second body swings relative to the first body, attracting the target creature's attention to the lure. The lure can also effectively capture the target creature with the hook portion attached to the second body that attracts the target creature's attention. Furthermore, for example, when the lure hits the bottom, the second body, which has a hollow portion, tends to float relative to the first body. This allows the angler to manipulate the lure easily.
[0019] In a lure according to an eighth aspect of the present invention, the second body includes an attachment portion configured to allow a light emitter to be attached and detached.
[0020] According to the lure of the eighth aspect, the light source attached to the second body can attract the target creature to the second body, thereby allowing the lure to suitably attract the target creature.
[0021] In a lure of a ninth aspect according to the fifth aspect, the first body has a weight portion at a lower portion, and the second body is capable of swinging up and down relative to the first body.
[0022] According to the lure of the ninth aspect, for example, when the lure is operated by an angler, the second body can be swung up and down relative to the first body, which sinks with the weight portion downward. This allows the lure to attract the target creature's attention to the second body. Therefore, the lure can suitably attract the target creature. [Effects of the Invention]
[0023] The lure of the present disclosure can effectively attract target creatures such as octopuses. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0067] The first locking portion 12 includes a plurality of protrusions 12b. The first locking portion 12 includes a recess 12c. The first locking portion 12 includes a second hole 12d. The plurality of protrusions 12b protrude downward. The plurality of protrusions 12b are arranged in a line in the front-to-rear direction. The protrusions 12b are formed in a fan shape in a side view. The first locking portion 12 is formed so that the plurality of fan-shaped protrusions 12b are connected in a side view. The recess 12c is formed between adjacent protrusions 12b. A plurality of recesses 12c are formed. A plurality of second holes 12d are formed. The second hole 12d is formed so as to penetrate the protrusion 12b in the left-right direction. The first locking portion 12 may include either the recess 12c or the second hole 12d.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 2, the vibrating body 14 is disposed in the hollow portion 28 of the second body 22. The vibrating body 14 is plate-shaped. The vibrating body 14 is configured to reflect light. The vibrating body 14 extends in the front-rear direction. The vibrating body 14 is connected to the second body 22 so as to be able to vibrate. The vibrating body 14 is connected to the second body 22 by a first spring 102 and a second spring 104. The first spring 102 connects the front end of the vibrating body 14 to the first shaft portion 74a of the second body 22. The second spring 104 connects the rear end of the vibrating body 14 to the second shaft portion 74b of the second body 22. A hole 14a is formed in the vibrating body 14. The hole 14a penetrates the vibrating body 14 in the left-right direction. The diameter of the hole 14a is larger than the diameter of the protrusion 74c provided on the third half body 70. The hole 14a is, for example, circular. The shape of the hole 14a is not limited to circular. The hole 14a and the convex portion 74c are formed so that the inner edge of the hole 14a does not come into contact with the convex portion 74c when the vibrating body 14 is stationary. When the amplitude of the vibrating body 14 is excessively large, the inner edge of the hole 14a comes into contact with the convex portion 74c. This suppresses the amplitude of the vibrating body 14. A weight 14b is attached to the vibrating body 14. The weight 14b is attached to the lower side of the vibrating body 14. The weight 14b extends in the front-to-rear direction.
[0069] In the lure 2, the second body 22 is swingably connected to the first body 20 via a connecting member 24. The second body 22 can swing up and down relative to the first body 20. Specifically, in the lure 2, the connecting member 24 swings up and down relative to the first body 20. Then, the second body 22 connected to the connecting member 24 swings up and down relative to the first body 20. The second body 22 may be swingable up and down relative to the connecting member 24.
[0070] The first body 20 has a sinker 6 at its bottom. The second body 22 has a hollow portion 28. This allows the lure 2 to sink with the sinker 6 facing downward. For example, when the lure 2 hits the bottom, the second body 22 of the lure 2 is more likely to float than the first body 20.
[0071] At least a portion of the second body 22 transmits light. The vibrating body 14 reflects light that has passed through the second body 22. The light reflected by the vibrating body 14 passes through the second body 22. The vibrating body 14 is connected to the second body 22 so as to be able to vibrate. Therefore, for example, even if the lure 2 is stationary, the direction of the reflected light is changed by the vibration of the vibrating body 14.
[0072] The first locking portion 12 is configured to lock a fixing member 110. The fixing member 110 fixes the bait wound on the first body 20. The fixing member 110 includes a wire, a thread, or the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when a bait 112 is wound on the first body 20, the fixing member 110 is positioned to hold the bait 112. The fixing member 110 is inserted into the second hole 12d of the first locking portion 12. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when a bait 114 is wound on the first body 20, the fixing member 110 may be inserted into the recess 12c. That is, the fixing member 110 may be hooked on the recess 12c.
[0073] The bait may be wound around the second body 22 (see FIG. 1). When the bait is wound around the second body 22, the fixing member is fixed to the second fixing portion 90 (see FIG. 1) in the same manner as the first fixing portion 12. For example, the fixing member is inserted into the hole 90e (see FIG. 1) of the second fixing portion 90. The fixing member may also be inserted into the recess 90d (see FIG. 1) of the second fixing portion 90.
[0074] 1, when the light emitter 100 is attached to the attachment portion 92 of the second body 22, the light emitter 100 may be fixed to the second body 22 by a fixing member. The fixing member is fixed to the second locking portion 90. For example, the fixing member is inserted into a hole 90e of the second locking portion 90. The fixing member may also be inserted into a recess 90d of the second locking portion 90.
[0075] The surfaces of the first body 20 and the second body 22 may be decorated by painting, printing, attaching fabric, etc. The decoration on the surface of the second body 22 is preferably semi-transparent.
[0076] The phrase "at least one" as used herein means "one or more" of the desired options. As an example, the phrase "at least one" as used herein means "only one option" or "both of two options" when the number of options is two. As another example, the phrase "at least one" as used herein means "only one option" or "any combination of two or more options" when the number of options is three or more. [Explanation of symbols]
