Fishing lure

Abstract

To provide a lure for fishing capable of simultaneously aiming at the extension of a long casting distance of the lure for fishing and the control of a sinking speed.SOLUTION: The fishing lure 1 includes a lure having a large specific gravity, which is generally called a hard lure, as a base body (weight) 7, and a bag-shaped structure 8 formed of a soft resin, a soft rubber, or the like and covering the base body. Since the base body (weight) 7 and the structure 8 to be covered are integrated, the air resistance at the time of long distance casting and flying can be reduced, and the effect of extending the long distance casting distance is brought about. The mother body is provided with a mechanism for operating the structure to be covered, and the structure to be covered controls the sinking speed and appeals to the target fish species by the operation of the structure after landing on the water, so that an increase in the fishing result can be expected.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing lure used for fishing. [Background technology]

[0002] The fishing lures used in the type of fishing collectively known as lure fishing include lures made of metal with an external shape resembling the shape of a fish, collectively known as metal jigs, and soft lures made of soft resin or soft rubber and shaped to suit the preferences of target fish.A common fishing method is to use a variety of lures depending on the target fish species to increase catches.

[0003] Because metal jigs are made of metal, they have a high specific gravity and can be cast far enough, but it is well known that because of their high specific gravity, they sink quickly from the time they hit the water surface until they hit the bottom.

[0004] In order to attract fish with the metal jig at the desired depth, the lure must be constantly reeled in due to its fast sinking speed, so the time between it hitting the water and being able to retrieve it is very short.

[0005] Soft lures are made from soft resin or soft rubber, which means they have a low specific gravity and therefore do not have sufficient flight distance. However, because they are made from soft materials, they move smoothly, allowing them to produce the soft movements that target fish species prefer.

[0006] There is also a type of fishing rig known collectively as a jig head rig, which is a fishing hook with a weight at the base and an artificial bait made of soft resin or soft rubber in a shape that fish like. This is an effective way to increase the distance when fishing with soft lures, which do not have a long flight distance.

[0007] For example, if you want to cast a soft lure, which is characterized by its soft movement, far away, in addition to using a jig head rig, you can aim to cast it far away by using a rig that combines a worm and a weight as shown in Patent Document 1 or a rig with a structure like that of Patent Document 2, but there are several challenges. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-103917 A

[0009] [Patent Document 2] JP 2007-6869 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] It is well known that in order to catch more fish from land, the lure must be cast farther. To achieve this, it is common to use a heavier lure to extend the distance it can be cast. However, the problem is that making the lure heavier increases its sinking speed, shortening the time it has to appeal to the target fish species underwater.

[0011] In fishing using lures, various rigs are known, such as metal jigs and soft lures as explained above, as well as jig head rigs and rigs disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. However, there has not been a rig that is intended for long-distance casting and that can simultaneously suppress air resistance and control sinking speed.

[0012] It is well known that when fishing from land, casting a lure farther will expand the area in which you can find fish and lead to better catches, but using a heavy lure limits the lure's movement, so we believe that adding a softer movement to the lure will lead to better catches.

[0013] In addition, controlling the sinking speed will increase the time it takes for the lure to hit the water surface and then reach the bottom, allowing the target fish to recognize the lure for a longer period of time, which is thought to lead to better catches.

[0014] For example, the rig in Patent Document 1, which combines a heavy sinker and a soft worm, does not have a sense of unity between the sinker and the worm, so it experiences a lot of air resistance when casting far or when the rig is flying, and is unable to achieve a sufficient flight distance.Furthermore, a rig like that in Patent Document 2 has a sense of unity between the sinker and the worm, but does not have a mechanism to control the sinking speed, so it does not have enough time to appeal to the target fish species. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is summarized as follows.

[0016] The present invention is a fishing lure having a weight portion as a base body and a bag-like covering structure formed of soft resin, soft rubber, or the like.

[0017] The fishing lure has a covering structure attached to the weight part, which is the base body, and when the structure is attached there is no step between the weight part and the structure, so the covering structure will not come off due to centrifugal force and air resistance when cast far, and the lure is also characterized by being able to reduce air resistance when flying because it remains one piece.

[0018] The fishing lure of the present invention is characterized in that after the lure body hits the water surface, water enters the penetration or slit provided in the sinker part by reeling in the fishing line, pushing out the covering structure, causing the structure to operate, and the operating structure is subjected to water resistance in the water, thereby controlling the sinking speed.

[0019] The operating covering structure is made of a soft material such as soft resin or soft rubber, so it moves when it encounters water resistance, creating a soft movement that attracts the interest of target fish, making it a lure that functions as a soft lure. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] As mentioned above, by combining a material with a high specific gravity with a material with a low specific gravity, the present invention makes it possible to throw the material with a low specific gravity farther, and because the material with a low specific gravity operates and moves after hitting the water, it is possible to produce soft movements at points farther from land, which was previously impossible.In addition, because the structure is subject to water resistance, it is possible to control the sinking speed, which was a problem when fishing with only heavy lures.

[0021] In addition, because it has a structure that can withstand water resistance, the floating force caused by water resistance allows the lure to swim without dragging on the seabed even with a small number of reel turns, making it possible to appeal to target fish slowly for a sufficient period of time.

[0022] The covering structure not only controls the sinking speed, but also moves in response to the resistance of the water, thereby functioning as a soft lure and attracting the interest of target fish species.

[0023] The covering structure is characterized in that only that part can be replaced, and the structure can be replaced depending on the target fish species.

[0024] In the above-mentioned replacement work, the covering structure and the fishing hook do not interfere with each other, which makes it easy to replace the tackle.

[0025] As described above, the present invention has a structure that can simultaneously solve the problems that have existed in fishing up until now: the problem of long casting distance when using only a light lure, and the problem of low sinking speed when using only a heavy lure.

[Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the fishing lure in the longitudinal direction. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

[0027] The present invention is intended to realize the simultaneous extension of the casting distance and control of the sinking speed in lure fishing.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the lure of the present invention has no steps, so the covering structure will not operate before landing on the water surface due to the air resistance caused by centrifugal motion when cast long distances or the air resistance during flight.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, this lure comprises a weight part 7, which is the main body, and a covering structure 8, which controls the sinking speed and the rising speed and attracts the interest of target fish species with its soft movement.

[0030] After the fishing lure hits the water, the fishing lure is pulled in the direction of the eye (knot of the fishing line) 2 by winding the reel.

[0031] When the fishing lure is pulled in the direction of the eye (knot in the fishing line) 2, water enters the penetration part 9 provided in the main body, and the entering water pushes out the edge of the covering structure, creating a step between the main body and the structure, and the structure operates with the eye (knot in the fishing line) 2 as a fulcrum due to the resistance of the water.

[0032] Figure 5 shows the state in which water has entered the penetration part 9 and the structure is in operation. The covering structure is shaped like a bag-like parachute, so it receives resistance from the water, controls the sinking speed, and moves due to the resistance of the water, which is expected to attract the interest of fish and result in a sufficient catch.

Claims

1. This fishing lure is characterized by having a base body (weight) of a long, slender body, such as that generally known as a metal jig, and a bag-like covering structure made of soft resin or soft rubber, etc., attached to the top of the body, which becomes one with the base body when it is covered, and which operates by reeling in the fishing line after landing on the water surface.

2. 2. The fishing lure according to claim 1, wherein the fishing lure is made of a material having different specific gravity, thereby reducing air resistance and increasing the flight distance.

3. The lure of claim 1 is characterized by its elongated shape, so that if the knot of the fishing line is considered to be in the front, the center of gravity is at the rear, and therefore the fishing line and lure are in a straight line during flight, thereby further reducing air resistance.

4. The lure of claim 1 attracts the interest of target fish species by imitating the shape of the main body (weight) of the lure to a fish, but in this case the lure is no longer elongated and the effect of the rear center of gravity cannot be obtained. However, when imitating the shape, measures such as changing the material of the front and rear parts of the lure or changing the volume of the front and rear parts are taken to achieve a rear center of gravity, and this is a fishing lure characterized by adjusting the lure to have a rear center of gravity and reducing air resistance when cast long distances.

5. The lure of claim 1 is a fishing lure characterized in that a flashing effect can be added by applying a reflective treatment to the main body (weight) part, and that the covering structure moves due to the resistance of water bite, making it possible to produce a more effective flashing.

6. The fishing lure is characterized in that the lure is provided with a mechanism for operating a structure that is placed over the body, and after the lure hits the water surface, the mechanism activates the covering structure, which, because the structure is bag-shaped, captures water and plays a role in controlling the sinking speed.
