Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishhook. [Background technology]

[0002] In bass fishing, lure fishing using soft lures made of soft materials such as rubber, silicone, and plastic that resemble worms, crayfish, or small fish is the mainstream. Various techniques have been developed to make these soft lures more similar to live bait, and various innovations have also been made to the fishing hooks used with soft lures.

[0003] For example, there is a fishing hook called a jig head. This hook has a weight already attached to it, so the rig is completed by simply inserting it into a soft lure and tying the jig head to the fishing line. This makes it easy to attach, making it suitable for beginners. However, because the weight is placed at the tip of the lure, jig heads have the characteristic of moving in such a way that the head swings up and down relative to the direction of travel depending on the weight of the weight. Also, when the weight is placed at the tip of the lure, it is often difficult to achieve a good balance between the soft worm and the weight, which can result in the soft lure not moving as intended or the weight being completely visible, resulting in a weak attraction to black bass.

[0004] There is also a type of fishing hook known as an offset hook. This hook has a shank that is cranked in a Z-shape near the line eye. When this offset hook is attached to a worm, the tip of the hook is hidden inside the worm, making it less likely to get caught on obstacles, and when a fish bites it, the tip of the hook pops out and easily penetrates the fish's mouth. However, because black bass feed from below, they are more likely to respond to a lure that swings side to side than up and down. However, offset hooks generally have a hook eye that is perpendicular to the lure's direction of travel, which poses the problem of the head swinging up and down relative to the direction of travel (Patent Document 1).

[0005] Furthermore, the weight must be attached to the crank part of the hook, which often makes it difficult to achieve a good balance between the soft worm and the weight, and the weight is completely visible to the black bass, which means that the wary bass are less likely to bite.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-224280 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention was made to solve this problem, and aims to provide a fishhook that, when attached to a soft lure, causes the soft lure to swing side to side more easily than up and down. It also aims to provide a fishhook that can be attached to a soft lure without the weight that stabilizes the side to side swing being visible to the target fish, and a soft lure that uses this fishhook. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means.

[0009] The fishing hook according to the present invention comprises: In fishing hooks used for soft lures, Hook point and a bend portion formed by curving from the hook point; a shank connected to the bend portion; A bent portion formed by bending the shank toward the hook point at an angle of 80° to 100°; A hook eye is formed at the tip of the bent portion, The loop of the hook eye is arranged parallel to a plane formed by the shank, the bend portion and the folded portion.

[0010] When the fishing hook of the present invention is attached to a soft lure, the loop of the hook eye is positioned parallel and perpendicular to the direction of travel, so that the head of the soft lure can be easily swung horizontally by loosening or pulling the fishing line. This makes the soft lure more attractive to black bass that see the lure from below and prey on the bait. Furthermore, because it does not have a weight, it is less likely to warn the bass, making the soft lure more likely to bite.

[0011] The fishhook of the present invention may also be characterized in that a weight is attached to the shank. By attaching a weight, the movement of the soft lure can be made more stable. Furthermore, since the weight is attached only to the shank, the weight is not placed outside the soft lure, which effectively prevents black bass from becoming wary.

[0012] Furthermore, in the fishhook of the present invention, the weight may be provided on the opposite side of the shank from the bent portion. By providing the weight in this position, the orientation of the hook is stabilized, and as a result, the orientation of the attached soft lure can also be stabilized.

[0013] Furthermore, the fishhook of the present invention may be characterized in that a wire is wound around the sinker, which provides an uneven outer periphery with an anti-slip effect when attached to a soft lure, reducing the possibility of the fishhook slipping off or coming off the soft lure.

[0014] The present invention also provides a soft lure using the above-mentioned fishhook, thereby providing a soft lure having the above-mentioned functions. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the fishhook 10 according to the embodiment is attached to a soft lure 90. As shown in FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a weight 80 is attached to the fishhook 10 according to the embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the fishhook 10 with the weight 80 according to the embodiment is attached to a soft lure 90. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The following detailed description will be given of a fishhook 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention and a soft lure 90 using the fishhook 10 with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments and drawings described below are intended to exemplify a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention to these configurations. Appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Corresponding components in each drawing are designated by the same or similar reference numerals.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, the fishhook 10 of this embodiment has a hook point 40 formed at one end of a shank 20 via a curved bend 30. The hook point 40 is provided with a barb 50. On the other hand, a bent portion 60 is formed at the other end of the shank 20 by bending it at an angle of 80 to 100 degrees toward the bend, and a hook eye 70 is provided at the end of the bent portion 60 for connecting a fishing line. The hook eye 70 is provided so that the surface of the loop formed in the hook eye 70 is parallel to the plane formed by the shank 20, the bent portion 30, and the bent portion 60.

[0018] The fishhook 10 manufactured as described above is attached to a soft lure 90, such as a soft worm or soft fish, as shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, the hook point 40 is inserted into the head of the soft lure 90 and attached so that the hook point 40 protrudes from the back. By attaching the soft lure 90 in this manner, the hook eye 70 forms a loop parallel to the direction of travel, resulting in a soft lure 90 without a weight 80. When the soft lure 90 is in this state, slackening or pulling the fishing line tied to the hook eye 70 can cause the head of the soft lure 90 to swing horizontally and side to side. Black bass hunt by viewing the soft lure 90 from below, so a side-to-side swing is more likely to cause a reaction. This makes the soft lure 90 more likely to bite. Furthermore, the lack of a weight 80 reduces the need for caution, making the soft lure 90 more likely to bite.

[0019] Furthermore, if the soft lure 90 lacks stability in lateral swing or if the soft lure 90 is poorly balanced in inclination, a weight 80 may be provided. The weight 80 is attached only to the shank 20, as shown in FIG. 3 . The weight 80 is preferably configured so that its end is flat and has a perpendicular surface 82 relative to the longitudinal direction of the shank 20. By using such a weight 80, the perpendicular surface 82 reduces the possibility of the fishhook 10 slipping off or becoming detached from the soft lure 90 when attached to the soft lure 90. While there are no particular limitations on the attachment method, it is preferable to attach the fishhook 10 by wrapping it with a wire 81 or the like. By wrapping it with a wire or the like, the wire 81 creates an uneven surface around the weight 80, which provides an anti-slip effect when attached to the soft lure 90, reducing the possibility of the fishhook 10 slipping off or becoming detached from the soft lure 90. Furthermore, when attached to soft lure 90, as shown in FIG. 4, weight 80 is disposed inside soft lure 90, so weight 80 cannot be seen from the outside, which reduces the risk of wary fish.

[0020] In addition, it is preferable that the weight 80 is provided on the opposite side of the shank 20 from the bent portion 30 and the hook point 40. By providing it on the opposite side, the hook point 40 of the fishhook 10 is more likely to be positioned on the upper side, making it easier to stabilize the up-down orientation of the soft lure 90.

[0021] In the lure rig, the type of soft lure 90 attached to the hook 10 can be selected appropriately depending on the type of fish to be caught, the fishing season, etc., and any shape of soft lure made of rubber or plastic can be used. Also, by selecting the weight of the sinker 80 appropriately, the posture of the soft lure 90 in the water, the casting distance, the sinking speed, etc. can be controlled, and by selecting the weight of the sinker 80 appropriately, the effectiveness of the lure rig can be further improved.

[0022] It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be embodied in various forms as long as they fall within the technical scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0023] As shown in the above-described embodiment, the present invention can be industrially utilized as a fishhook 10 and a soft lure 90 for bass fishing. [Explanation of symbols]
