Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] Here, when using a lure on a rocky shore or a rocky area, the hook may get caught on a rock or the like, and the tip of the hook may become dull. Also, when using a lure in the sea, rust may occur. In such a case, even if an attempt is made to replace the fishing hook of the lure described in Patent Document 1, it is very difficult because the wire is connected to the fishing hook inside the through hole.
[0005] [[ID=-39]]The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a fake bait having fishing hooks on both sides that can be easily replaced.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fake bait including a fake bait body having a through hole penetrating in the lateral direction, and a connecting member accommodated in the through hole and having fishing hooks attached to both ends thereof. The connecting member is accommodated in the through hole so as to be movable along the through hole, and a recess is formed around a portion where the through hole of the fake bait body opens. In this embodiment, a recess is formed around the opening of the through-hole, allowing for easy replacement of the fishing hook. It is also conceivable to lengthen the connecting member without providing a recess, but in this case, the fishing hook would be separated from the lure body. In contrast, in this embodiment, because a recess is formed, there is no need to lengthen the connecting member, and the fishing hook is positioned close to the lure body, resulting in better fishing results.
[0007] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the present invention, the connecting member is detachable from the through hole. With this configuration, one of the fishing hooks can be attached with the connecting member removed, making it easier to replace the fishing hooks. Furthermore, the connecting member can be replaced if it rusts.
[0008] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the present invention, the surface of the lure body is decorated with a hologram. If a ring or other protrusion for attaching a fishing hook is present on the surface of the artificial lure, it is not possible to decorate it with a hologram. In contrast, according to this embodiment, by removing the connecting member, the part that protrudes from the artificial lure is eliminated, so the entire artificial lure can be decorated with a hologram.
[0009] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the present invention, the connecting member has an annular shape or a shape with semicircular arc portions formed at both ends, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the through hole in the front-to-back direction is a shape that extends in the vertical direction. In this configuration, a ring for attaching a fishhook can be attached to the folded portion of the connecting member.
[0010] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the present invention, the connecting member has a straight first straight section, semicircular sections extending in a semicircular shape from both ends of the straight section, and second straight sections extending inward from each semicircular section. In this configuration, a ring for attaching a fishhook can be attached to the semicircular portion of the connecting member, allowing the fishhook to move freely. [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mimic bait having fishing hooks on both sides that can be easily replaced.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0013] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the mimic bait of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 3 show the imitation bait body according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a side view, Figure 2 is a top view, and Figure 3 is a front view. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the imitation bait 1 according to the present embodiment includes an imitation bait body 10, a connecting member 20 housed in a through hole of the imitation bait body 10, and a plurality of fishing hooks 30 and 40.
[0014] The imitation bait body 10 is made of, for example, plastic and has an elongated shape in the front-rear direction as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The front end of the imitation bait body 10 is inclined rearward downward. The front part of the imitation bait body 10 from the front end to the middle part has a substantially constant cross-sectional shape, and the rear part of the imitation bait body 10 from the middle part to the rear end has a tapered shape in which the width and height gradually decrease toward the rear. As shown in Figure 3, the longitudinal section of the imitation bait body 10 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is generally a semi-elliptical shape with the long axis along the vertical direction in the upper part and a semi-elliptical shape with the long axis along the left-right direction in the lower part. On the front side of the side surface of the imitation bait body 10, an eye part 11, which is a pattern imitating a circular eye, is formed, and behind the eye part 11, a gill part 12, which is a second pattern imitating a gill, is formed. These eye parts 11 and the circular convex part of the imitation bait body 10 are formed by providing a circular groove. Also, on the surface of the imitation bait body 10, the gill part 12 is formed by providing a groove imitating a gill, and a gill-shaped protrusion is formed on the surface of the imitation bait body 10.
[0015] On the upper part of the front surface of the imitation bait body 10, a fishing line attachment part 13 for attaching a fishing line is formed. The fishing line attachment part 13 consists of a semi-arc-shaped annular part and extends in the vertical direction. When using the imitation bait, the fishing line extending from the fishing rod is connected to the fishing line attachment part 13.
[0016] Also, a rear end ring 14 is attached to the rear end surface of the imitation bait body 10. The rear end ring 14 is a metal Ω-shaped member, and both ends are embedded in the imitation bait body 10 and integrated with the imitation bait body 10. A connection ring 41 is attached to the rear end ring 14, and a fishing hook 40 is attached to the connection ring 41.
[0017] The artificial lure body 10 is formed by injection molding two halves, 10A and 10B, which make up the left and right halves, and then bonding the left and right halves 10A and 10B together. Inside the artificial lure body 10 is a weight (not shown) for controlling its posture in water, and the weight is placed inside when the halves 10A and 10B are bonded together. In addition, a rear end ring 14 is embedded in the rear end when the halves 10A and 10B are connected.
[0018] Furthermore, the sides, back, and bottom of the artificial lure body 10 are decorated with a hologram. The hologram decoration is applied by hot stamping after the halves 10A and 10B are bonded together. In this embodiment, when applying the hologram decoration, since components such as rings for attaching the hook do not protrude from the sides, back, and bottom of the artificial lure body 10, the hologram decoration can be applied to both sides, back, and bottom of the artificial lure body 10.
[0019] Figure 4 is an enlarged view of section A in Figure 1, and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line V-V in Figure 4. Figure 6 is a diagram corresponding to Figure 4 with the connecting member, hook, and connecting ring removed. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VII-VII in Figure 6, Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VIII-VIII in Figure 6, Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX in Figure 6, and Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line X-X in Figure 6.
[0020] As shown in Figures 4 to 10, the artificial bait body 10 has a through hole 15 behind the gill portion 12 that penetrates laterally between the two sides. The through hole 15 has an elongated cross-sectional shape when viewed from the side. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 15 has semi-circular ends at the top and bottom, and straight edges in the middle. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the bottom surface of the through hole 15 is slightly inclined upward toward the lateral center, and the top surface of the through hole 15 is slightly inclined downward toward the lateral center. Also, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the front surface of the through hole 15 is slightly inclined backward toward the lateral center, and the rear surface of the through hole 15 is slightly inclined forward toward the lateral center.
[0021] Furthermore, recesses 16 are formed around the openings of the through holes 15 on both sides of the artificial bait body 10. As shown in Figure 6, the recesses 16 have a shape in which the center line slopes upward toward the rear. Also, the recesses 16 have a shape in which the width (height) widens from the front toward the middle along the center line, and narrows from the middle toward the rear. In addition, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the recesses 16 have a curved shape that is concave toward the center in a cross section perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, with the deepest point being at the center line. The recesses 16 become deeper from the front toward the middle and shallower from the middle toward the rear. Furthermore, on the front surface of the through-hole 15, there are notches 17 cut out in the shape of a triangular pyramid on both the left and right sides. The notches 17 are formed so that their vertices are located at the center in the lateral direction.
[0022] Figure 11 is a front view showing the connecting member. As shown in Figure 11, the connecting member 20 is formed by bending an elongated metal member. The connecting member 20 has a lower straight section 21, a pair of semi-circular sections 22 and 23 extending from both ends of the lower straight section 21 and folded back, and a pair of straight sections 24 and 25 extending from the ends of each semi-circular section 22 and 23. One straight section 25 is longer than the other straight section 24 and has a bent section 26 at its tip that is bent downwards. In this embodiment, the connecting member 20 is placed in the through hole 15 with the lower straight section 21 located downwards, but the connecting member 20 may also be placed upside down.
[0023] As shown in Figure 5, when attaching the fishhook 30, the connecting member 20 is positioned inside the through hole 15. In this state, the connecting member 20 can move laterally along the through hole 15 and can be attached to and detached from the through hole 15 without the connecting ring 31 attached. Because the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 15 is such that it extends vertically, the connecting member 20 housed inside the through hole 15 is also positioned so that the semi-circular portions 22 and 23 are in the vertical direction. Furthermore, with the connecting member 20 housed inside the through hole 15, the pair of semi-circular portions 22 and 23 of the connecting member 20 are each located inside the recess 16. With the connecting member 20 housed inside the through hole 15, the connecting ring 31 is attached to the semi-circular portions 22 and 23 located inside the recess 16, and the fishhook 30 is attached to the connecting ring 31. As a result, the connecting ring 31 can move freely along the semi-circular portions 22 and 23 of the connecting member 20, and the fishhook 30 can move freely in the vertical direction.
[0024] When using the artificial lure 1, the artificial lure body 10 is positioned so that one side is facing downwards. In this position, since the semi-circular portion of the connecting member 20 is located within the recess 16, the connecting ring 31 to which the fishing hook 30 is attached can move along the semi-circular portion, allowing the fishing hook 30 to face downwards. This increases the probability of catching fish attracted to the artificial lure 1.
[0025] In the first embodiment, a connecting member formed by bending an elongated metal member as shown in Figure 11 is used, but the connecting member used in the present invention is not limited to this. Figure 12 shows a connecting member according to the second embodiment. As shown in Figure 12, the connecting member 120 according to the second embodiment has a lower straight section 121, a pair of semi-circular sections 122 and 123 extending from both ends of the lower straight section 121 and folded back, and a pair of straight sections 124 and 125 extending from the ends of each semi-circular section 122 and 123. The ends of the pair of straight sections 124 and 125 are welded together by a welded section 126. As a result, the connecting member 120 has a transversely elongated annular shape with semi-circular ends. This connecting member 120 can also be used in the same way as the connecting member 20 in the first embodiment.
[0026] Furthermore, Figure 13 shows a connecting member according to the third embodiment. The connecting member 220 according to the third embodiment is formed by punching out a metal plate. As shown in Figure 13, the connecting member 220 has semi-circular edges on both sides and is made of a long, narrow plate. Circular openings 221 and 222 are formed at both ends of the connecting member 220. As a result, semi-circular curved portions 223 and 224 are formed at both ends of the connecting member 220. The outer edge of the connecting member 220 and the inner edges of the openings 221 and 222 are chamfered. Such a connecting member 120 can also be used in the same way as the connecting member 20 in the first embodiment.
[0027] According to each of the above embodiments, the following effects are achieved. According to each of the embodiments described above, a connecting member 20, to which fishing hooks 30 are attached at both ends, is housed within the through-hole 15 of the artificial lure body 10 so as to be movable along the through-hole 15, and a recess 16 is formed around the portion of the artificial lure body 10 where the through-hole 15 opens.
[0028] As a result, a recess 16 is formed around the opening of the through hole 15, making it easy to replace the fishing hook 30. It is also conceivable to lengthen the connecting member without providing the recess 16, but in this case the fishing hook would be separated from the lure body. In contrast, according to this embodiment, since the recess 16 is formed, there is no need to lengthen the connecting member 20, and the fishing hook 30 is positioned close to the lure body 10, resulting in better fishing results.
[0029] Furthermore, according to each of the above implementation configurations, the connecting member 20 is detachable from the through hole 15. This allows one of the fishhooks 30 to be attached with the connecting member 20 removed, making it easier to replace the fishhook 30. It also allows for replacement if rust develops on the connecting member 20.
[0030] Furthermore, according to each of the above embodiments, the surface of the artificial lure body 10 is decorated with a hologram. If a ring or the like for attaching a fishing hook protrudes from the surface of the artificial lure body, it is not possible to decorate it with a hologram. In contrast, according to this embodiment, by removing the connecting member 20, there is no part that protrudes from the artificial lure body 10, so the entire artificial lure body 10 can be decorated with a hologram.
[0031] Furthermore, according to each of the embodiments described above, the recess 16 has a shape that slopes upward toward the rear. This causes turbulence in the water flow near the fishing hook 30, causing the fishing hook 30 to swing, thereby improving the catch rate. In addition, since a triangular pyramidal notch 17 is formed in front of the through hole 15, turbulence in the water flow is further generated, causing the fishing hook 30 to swing.
[0032] Furthermore, according to each of the above embodiments, the connecting member 20 has an annular shape or a shape with semi-circular arc portions 22, 23, 122, 123, 223, and 224 formed at both ends, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the through hole 15 in the front-to-back direction is a shape that extends in the vertical direction. This allows a connecting ring 31 for attaching the fishhook 30 to the folded portion of the connecting member 20.
[0033] Furthermore, according to the first and second embodiments, the connecting member 20 has a straight lower straight portion 21, semicircular portions 22 and 23 extending in a semicircular shape from both ends of the lower straight portion 21, and a pair of straight portions 24 and 25 extending inward from each semicircular portion 22 and 23. This allows rings for attaching a fishhook to be attached to the semicircular portions 22 and 23 of the connecting member 20, and allows the fishhook 30 to move freely.
[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting member 20 is configured to have a lower straight section 21, a pair of semi-circular sections 22 and 23 formed by folding back both ends of the lower straight section 21, and a pair of straight sections 24 and 25 extending from the ends of each semi-circular section 22 and 23. However, the shape of the connecting member 20 is not limited to this. For example, it may be a long, slender, annular member with semi-circular ends, as long as it has semi-circular portions at both ends and maintains its orientation within the through hole.
