Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to fishing tackle for increasing catches, and more particularly to a predator-inducing tail that takes into account the predatory habits of target fish, a tail hook equipped with the same, and a fishing lure equipped with the same. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, in fishing as a hobby, anglers often take into account the habits of fish to improve their catch by devising their own rod action and selecting lures as equipment. Among the target fish for fishing, bass, trout, and other fish have a predatory habit of approaching small bait fish from behind and sucking or swallowing them. However, existing lures designed to mimic small fish have not necessarily been designed with the predatory habits of the target fish in mind. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention was made with this background in mind, and was based on the idea of ​​adding a solid member to the tail hook that would make it easier for fish to catch fish by sucking them in, as a measure to encourage predation. The technical objective of the present invention was to develop a new predation-inducing tail, a tail hook equipped with the same, and a fishing lure equipped with the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] First, the predator-inducing tail described in claim 1 is made of an elastomer material and is characterized by having an attachment base for attaching to a hook and a predator-inducing deployment part that is integral with the attachment base and extends rearward.

[0005] In addition to the above requirements, the predator-guiding tail described in claim 2 is characterized in that the restored shape of the predator-guiding deployment part is in the form of one or more strings.

[0006] Furthermore, the predator-inducing tail described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in addition to the requirements of claim 1, the predator-inducing deployment section has a shad tail shape with a spindle-shaped thick body and a swinging fin attached to its rear end.

[0007] Furthermore, the predator-attracting tail described in claim 4 is characterized in that, in addition to the requirements described in claim 1, the mounting base has a sleeve portion that is fitted onto the base end of the hook, and a positioning hole that opens rearward from the sleeve portion and allows the hook to be pushed through from the end and returned to its fitted state on the hook base.

[0008] Furthermore, the tail hook with a predator-inducing tail according to claim 5 is characterized in that it is provided with a predator-inducing tail according to claim 1, 2 or 3 at its rear.

[0009] Furthermore, a fishing lure according to claim 6 is characterized in that it comprises the tail hook according to claim 4. The above problems are solved by the inventions described in each claim. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] First, according to the invention described in claims 1, 5 and 6, the predation-inducing deployment section encourages the angler to catch target fish that have the habit of sucking predation, thereby increasing the number of catches.

[0011] According to the inventions of claims 2, 5 and 6, the predation-inducing deployment part is string-shaped and undergoes large deformation in water, which makes it easier to encourage predation by target fish.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the inventions described in claims 3, 5 and 6, the swinging fins promote the movement of the predation guide part in the water, which makes it easier to encourage the predatory behavior of the target fish.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the inventions set forth in claims 4, 5 and 6, the predator-attracting tail can be attached to the hook without the need for any other fixing means. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] The present invention is embodied in the following examples, and also includes various methods that can be improved within the scope of the technical concept. [Example]

[0016] The present invention will be specifically described below based on the illustrated embodiments. Reference numeral 1 denotes a fishing lure of the present invention, which, as is common with lures, has an eye 2 and a hook 3. A lure having a body 10 made of hard resin is suitable as the basic form of the fishing lure 1, but a so-called soft lure would also be acceptable.

[0017] As an example, the eye 2 may include a head eye 21, a ventral eye 22, and a tail eye 23. The fishing line L is connected to the head eye 21 using a snap or the like as needed. Hooks 3 are attached to the ventral eye 22 and the tail eye 23, and the present invention is preferably applied to the tail hook 31 in particular. The hook 3 is attached to the ventral eye 22 or the tail eye 23 via a split ring 32 as needed, and as an example, a triple hook type with three hook elements is applied. A predator-attracting tail 5 is attached to such a lure to encourage the predatory activity of the target fish.

[0018] The predator-inducing tail 5 is made of a material that is sufficiently flexible, an elastomer. As shown in Figure 2, this basically comprises an attachment base 51 and a predator-inducing deployment part 52. The attachment base 51 is a means for fixing to the base of the hook 3, and comprises a cylindrical sleeve part 53. There are insertion holes 54 on the open end of the attachment base 51 and on the side of the predator-inducing deployment part 52, and the base of the tail hook 31 is fitted into these insertion holes.

[0019] Incidentally, the fitting of the hook 3 to the mounting base 51 is carried out by removing the tail hook 31 from the fishing lure 1 together with the split ring 32, with the split ring 32 remaining on the tail eye 23 side, and then inserting the base end of the tail hook 31 through the insertion hole 54 into the retaining hole 53a of the sleeve portion 53 and fixing it in place.

[0020] Furthermore, a positioning hole 55 is provided in the rear center of the tail hook 31 so that the predator-guiding deployment portion 52 of the predator-guiding tail 5 is positioned. This positioning hole 55 is used to insert into one of the hook elements of the hook 3, for example, a triple hook, and position it with the base of the tail hook 31 inserted into the sleeve portion 53.

[0021] The positioning hole 55 may also serve as the insertion hole 54 formed at one end of the sleeve portion 53, or may be formed separately. When inserting the hook element of the hook 3, the positioning hole 55 is fully stretched by utilizing the properties of the elastomer material, and after the hook tip is inserted through the positioning hole 55, it is allowed to return to its original elastic state, and the predator-guiding deployment portion 52 is attached using the positioning hole 55 so that it is not excessively unevenly positioned behind the tail hook 31.

[0022] This predator-guiding deployment portion 52 can take various forms, including a worm-type predator-guiding deployment portion 52A formed with a single string-like portion 56 resembling a worm, as shown in FIG. 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a twin-tail type predator-guiding deployment portion 52B can be used, in which a pair of hook-shaped string-like portions 56 are provided. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, a shad-tail type predator-guiding deployment portion 52C can be used, in which a swinging fin 57F is attached to the rear of a thick body portion 57. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, a pintail type predator-guiding deployment portion 52D can be used, in which a spherical ball-shaped portion 58 is provided at the tip of the string-like portion 56. A tail hook 31 equipped with such a predator-attracting tail 5 is attached to the tail eye 23 of the fishing lure 1 via a split ring 32 or the like.

[0023] When using a fishing lure 1 equipped with such a predator-inducing tail 5 to catch fish with a suction-feeding habit, such as trout or bass, the fish is lured in using a normal lure while waiting for a bite. The target fish recognizes the lure and approaches it, mistaking it for actual small fish bait, and then swallows it along with the surrounding water. At this time, because the predator-inducing deployment portion 52 is a single flexible solid, its sucking or swallowing action is stronger, and the fish is hooked by the tail hook 31 located just forward of it, and is then pulled up.

[0024] Incidentally, without such a predator-inducing deployment section 52, even if a fishing lure simulating a fish body is sucked in, the amount of solid components projected forward, including the tail hook, is small, and the timing of the target fish's sucking action to prey on it may be off, or the target fish may notice the presence of the hook, causing the angler to miss the hit.

[0025] In the above-described embodiment, the tail hook 31 is provided with the predator-attracting tail 5, but the hook 3 with the predator-attracting tail 5 may be provided on another part of the body. [Explanation of symbols]
