AI Technical Summary
Existing squid fishing tackle often malfunctions and causes tangled lines due to complex mechanisms, failing to effectively bring the hook close to the squid, especially when angled from above, leading to missed catches.
A squid fishing yaen with multiple hooks, a buoyant member on one end and a water-receiving member on the other, featuring a line insertion hole with a vertical length of 20 to 80 mm, allowing the yaen to adjust its position in water to minimize tangling and ensure the hook contacts the squid.
The yaen's simple structure prevents tangling and malfunctions, ensuring high catch probability by aligning the hook with the squid, even in slight currents, without requiring violent rod movements, and weighing only 7g for ease of use.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This is about yaen, a fishing tackle used to catch squid. [Background technology]
[0002] The method involves letting a live bait fish swim and letting the squid grab it, then hanging the yaen from the line and dropping it into the sea to hook the squid, but often the hook does not get caught on the squid. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] Anglers fish from the bank, and the line is angled toward the squid, so the yaen approaches the squid from above at an angle. The squid is horizontal, and the hook is below the squid, creating a distance between the squid and the hook. While it's possible to reduce this distance by bending the yaen's shaft to bring the hook as close as possible to the line, the hook and line often become tangled when dropped into the sea. While there are documents that use complex mechanisms to operate the yaen, there are many problems with malfunctions and tangled line. Therefore, the challenge is to have a simple structure that does not malfunction, to bring the hook close to the squid to make it easier to hook, and to prevent the hook from getting tangled in the line. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present invention is a yaen for catching squid, which has multiple hooks and a buoyant member a on one end of the shaft, and has a member b for receiving water and multiple guides for hanging from the line on the other end, and is characterized in that the vertical length of the line insertion hole of the guide closest to the other end is 20 to 80 mm.
[0007] The present invention is a fishing yaen as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the member a is in a state in which the shaft is inserted through it. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] This invention is a squid fishing yaen that has multiple hooks and a buoyant member a on one end of the shaft, and has a member b for receiving water and multiple guides for hanging from the line on the other end, and the vertical length of the line insertion hole of the guide closest to the other end is 20 to 80 mm.Since the yaen is characterized by the fact that the yaen's center of gravity can be moved toward the other end in water because the member a on one end has buoyancy, the yaen's stationary state in air is lowered on one end, and its stationary state in water is horizontal. In addition, since it is equipped with member b on the other end, when the yaen moves forward in the water, member b receives water, allowing the other end to be lifted and one end to be lowered, and when the angler reels in the squid, the yaen moves backward, allowing the other end to be lowered and one end to be lifted. Therefore, when the yaen reaches the squid after being dropped into the sea, one end is lowered so the hook and the line do not get tangled. When reeling in the squid, the other end is raised to bring the hook into contact with the squid, resulting in a high probability of catching a squid. Furthermore, by setting the vertical length of the leader insertion hole in the guide closest to the other end to 20 to 80 mm, the amount of lowering / lifting on one end can be controlled within an appropriate range (this prevents the one end from lowering too much, increasing underwater resistance and making it difficult to move forward, and prevents the one end from lifting too much, causing the squid to pass by). This invention has a simple structure with no springs or drive parts, so malfunctions do not occur. It also works with a slight water current, so the angler does not have to use the rod violently to set the hook, which has many advantages, such as the squid not being startled and running away. (Because of its simple structure, it weighs only about 7g, making it lighter than conventional yaen lures.)
[0009] The present invention is a yaen as characterized in that the member a is in a state where the axis is inserted through it, which makes it easy to attach the float when manufacturing the yaen and also makes it easy to adjust the position of the float on the axis. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] The following examples are provided to illustrate the mode for carrying out the invention. [Example]
[0012] Figure 1 shows Example 1 of the present invention. The yaen 101 has a hook 7 and a buoyant member a6 on one end side 4 of the shaft 1, and is equipped with a member b10 for receiving water and guides 8, 9 for suspending the line 16 on the other end side 5 of the shaft 1. The line insertion hole 11 of the guide 9 has a vertical length 12 in the range of 20 to 80 mm (traditional yaen are about 5 mm in both length and width). The Yaen 101 can change its position (downward left to upward left) within this range. Explanation of materials The horizontal length of the buoyant member a is about 20 mm and the height is about 7 mm. The material should be polystyrene foam, and multiple pieces may be used. The water receiving member b is preferably plate-shaped, but it can also serve as a weight. The material is preferably plastic or metal, and multiple materials are acceptable. From here on, we will explain the posture changes of the Yaen 101. When the guide 8 is stationary in the air, the left side (side 4 of one end) is made heavier, so that the guide 8 is tilted downward to the left. In water, it is best to use the buoyancy of the member a6 to balance the left and right sides and keep the guide 8 horizontal. Next, since member b10 is attached to the other end side 5 in a lowered position to the right, when the yaen 101 moves toward the squid, it receives water and the other end side 5 moves upward, causing the posture of the yaen 101 to lower to the left. When the angler starts to pull the squid closer after the yaen 101 reaches the squid, the yaen 101 moves backward, the member b10 receives water, and the other end side 5 moves downward, so the posture of the yaen 101 rises to the left. As a result, the hook 7 comes into contact with the squid and gets stuck. The present invention is a yaen that can change the left-right balance of the yaen 101 in the air and underwater by having a buoyant member a6, and by having member b, can utilize the water flow that reverses when moving forward and backward to control the posture of the yaen 101 without having a spring or drive unit. Since the guide 8 is the fulcrum and the position of the yaen changes, there are ways to balance it, such as adjusting the position on the axis of the guide 8 or adding a weight. The weight is generally added to the other end, but this is not explained here. [Example]
[0013] 2 is an explanatory diagram of the line insertion hole 11 of the guide 9. If the yaen 101 continues to move down to the left, the lower end 15 of the line insertion hole will hit the line and stop the change in the position of the yaen 101. Conversely, if the yaen 101 continues to move up to the left, the upper end 14 of the line insertion hole will hit the line and stop it. In other words, the vertical length 12 of the leader insertion hole determines the range of change in the position of the yaen 101. (Experiments have shown that a range of 20 to 80 mm is appropriate, with the optimal value being 30 to 60 mm.) The horizontal length 13 should be about 5 mm; if it is too large, the yaen will become unstable. [Explanation of symbols]
