[0014] [First Embodiment]

[0015] The following describes the Tai Rubber lure according to the first embodiment, based on the drawings. The Tai Rubber lure according to this embodiment is a lure for catching sea bream, and as shown in Figure 1, it comprises a bifurcated leader 10, an attachment member 20, a tie 30, and hooks 40a and 40b. Figures 1 and 2 are plan views of the Tai Rubber lure 1 and tie 30 in a state where they are placed (spread out) on a table.

[0016] The Harris 10 is formed by folding a single line 11 in half on one side and double-knotting it at the folded portion, and includes a loop-shaped portion 12, a stopper portion 13, a short line 11a, and a long line 11b. The loop-shaped portion 12 is formed in a loop shape of such a size that the head portion 31 of the tie 30 described later can be inserted. The stopper portion 13 is formed at the base of the loop-shaped portion 12 and stops the position of the mounting member 20 described later. The stopper portion 13 is formed by the above double-knotting. The short line 11a is a line 11 that extends short from the stopper portion 13, and a hook 40a is attached to its end. The long line 11b is a line 11 that extends longer than the short line 11a from the stopper portion 13, and a hook 40b is attached to its end. Note that the Harris 10 is not limited to having the short line 11a and the long line 11b, and may include a pair of lines 11 that extend from the stopper portion 13 to a length of the same degree of identification.

[0017] The mounting member 20 is a member for attaching the tie 30 to the Harris 10 and is formed in a bead shape. A through-hole is formed in the mounting member 20, and the loop-shaped portion 12 of the Harris 10 is passed through the through-hole.

[0018] The tie 30 is formed by cutting out an elastic sheet (silicon sheet) with a uniform thickness, and as shown in FIG. 2, is composed of a head portion 31, a body portion 32, a tail portion 33, and a fin-shaped portion 34. The thickness of the tie 30 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, it is formed to have a thickness of 1 mm. Also, the color of the tie 30 is not particularly limited, but orange or red is preferable. As described later, the tie 30 moves in water with the head portion 31 facing forward, so the head portion 31 side is referred to as the front, and the tail portion 33 side is referred to as the rear.

[0019] The head portion 31 is formed in front of the tie 30, and a locked portion 311 and a widened portion 312 are provided in order from the tip side thereof. The locked portion 311 is formed in an anchor shape in a plan view based on FIG. 2, and includes a pair of claw portions 311a and 311b that symmetrically extend to both the positive and negative sides in the x direction (left and right) in the drawing, and a handle-shaped portion 311c that extends from the center of the pair of claw portions 311a and 311b toward the positive side in the y direction (rear). The widened portion 312 is formed at the tip of the handle-shaped portion 311c, and is formed so that the width becomes wider symmetrically to both the positive and negative sides in the x direction (left and right). At the rear end portion of the widened portion 312, one edge portion 313a and the other edge portion 313b are formed.

[0020] The body portion 32 is a portion that extends in one direction with a predetermined width dimension, and is formed between the head portion 31 and the tail portion 33. The body portion 32 is formed so that the width dimension gradually increases from the head portion 31 side to the tail portion 33 side. A pair of parallel edge portions 321a and 321b (hereinafter referred to as "the pair of parallel edge portions 321a and 321b") are formed on such a body portion 32. One of the parallel edge portions 321a is connected to one edge portion 313a of the head portion 31, and the other parallel edge portion 321b is connected to the other edge portion 313b of the head portion 31. Each of the parallel edge portions 321a and 321b extends substantially straight. Note that the width dimension of the body portion 32 may be uniform or may be formed so as to gradually decrease.

[0021] The tail portion 33 extends from the body portion 32. Specifically, in a plan view based on FIG. 2, the tail portion 33 extends while curving in a circular arc shape from the end portion of the body portion 32 toward the positive side in the x direction and toward the head portion 31. The tail portion 33 is formed so that its width dimension gradually decreases as it extends, and tapers at the extending end portion (rear end portion). A pair of curved edge portions 331a and 331b (hereinafter referred to as "the pair of curved edge portions 331a and 331b") are provided on such a tail portion 33. One of the curved edge portions 331a is connected to one of the parallel edge portions 321a of the body portion 32, and the other curved edge portion 331b is connected to the other parallel edge portion 321b of the body portion 32.

[0022] The fin-shaped portion 34 is provided on the other curved edge portion 331b of the tail portion 33 and comprises a plurality of soft rays 341 that are continuously provided with gaps between them. The soft rays 341 extend from the other curved edge portion 331b in an elongated shape and curve toward the rear end of the tail portion 33. In this embodiment, the width of the soft rays 341 is formed to be about 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 of the width of the body portion 32, but is not limited to this width dimension and should be formed to be at least narrower than the body portion 32. In addition, a gap of about the same width as the soft ray 341 is provided between each soft ray 341. Furthermore, the extension length of the soft ray 341 closest to the body portion 32 is the longest, and the extension length of the soft ray 341 on the rear end side of the tail portion 33 is the shortest. That is, the plurality of soft rays 341 are formed so that their extension length gradually decreases from front to rear. The number of soft rays 341 should be such that it can represent the movement of a fish's fins in the underwater action described later.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, the tie 30, configured as described above, has its head portion 31 attached to the leader 10. Specifically, after the locking portion 311 of the head portion 31 is inserted into the loop-shaped portion 12, the mounting member 20 is attached to the loop-shaped portion 12, so that the locking portion 311 is locked to the loop-shaped portion 12 while being sandwiched between the stopper portion 13 and the mounting member 20. At this time, the widening portion 312 prevents the head portion 31 from shifting position. In this way, the head portion 31 of the tie 30 functions as a mounting portion that is attached to the leader 10, preventing the tie 30 from falling off in the water.

[0024] As described above, the weight is attached after the tie 30 and attachment member 20 are attached to the leader 10. The weight is a round weight made of lead or tungsten, and its surface is colored with a color such as orange, red, yellow, green, or black. A through hole is formed in the weight, and the loop-shaped portion 12 of the leader 10 is passed through this through hole, and the main line is attached to the loop-shaped portion 12. In this way, the Tai Rubber 1 is composed of the hooks 40a, 40b, leader 10, tie 30, attachment member 20, and weight.

[0025] When the Tai Rubber 1 of this embodiment moves through the water, the body 32 and tail 33 oscillate up, down, left, and right, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Specifically, when moving through the water, the tail 33 is subjected to water resistance and is positioned behind the body 32. When the tail 33 is positioned behind the body 32, wrinkles form in the body 32, and the force of these wrinkles trying to restore themselves causes the body 32 and tail 33 to oscillate. In this way, the body 32 and tail 33 extend from the attachment part (head part 31) and function as the main body that oscillates as it moves through the water. Multiple soft rays 341 then oscillate in accordance with the oscillation of the tail 33. As multiple soft rays 341 oscillate together with the tail 33 and body 32, the movement of a fish can be realistically represented, enticing fish to bite. Furthermore, since each soft ray 341 oscillates, a more complex action is achieved. This makes it possible to stimulate the fish's appetite. Furthermore, the oscillation of each individual soft ray 341 generates waves from each soft ray 341. These multiple waves further stimulate the fish's lateral line, thus further stimulating the fish's appetite.

[0026] [Second Embodiment]

[0027] Hereinafter, the lure 130 according to the second embodiment and the rig 100 equipped with the lure 130 will be described based on Figures 5 and 6. The lure 130 according to this embodiment has a body portion 132, a tail portion 133, and a fin-like portion 134, similar to the lure (necktie 30) of the first embodiment. However, the lure 130 according to this embodiment differs from the lure (necktie 30) of the first embodiment in that it is formed in a smaller overall size, and the shape of the head portion 131 and the manner in which the head portion 131 is attached also differ from the lure (necktie 30) of the first embodiment.Hereafter, the description of the lure 130 of the second embodiment will focus on the head portion 131, and the description of the body portion 132, tail portion 133, and fin-like portion 134 will be omitted as appropriate.

[0028] The head portion 131 functions as the part into which the hook 140 is inserted, and is formed in a circular shape. The size of the head portion 131 is made to be sufficiently larger than the thickness of the hook 140. In this embodiment, the diameter of the head portion 131 is about twice the width of the body portion 132, but the diameter of the head portion 131 may be the same as the width of the body portion 132, or it may be three times or more the width of the body portion 132. Furthermore, the head portion 131 is not limited to a circle, but may be a polygon such as a triangle or a square.

[0029] The body portion 132 of the artificial lure 130 of this embodiment extends in one direction with a predetermined width dimension, similar to the body portion 32 of the first embodiment, and is provided with a pair of parallel edges 1321a and 1321b. The tail portion 133 of the artificial lure 130 of this embodiment extends while curving in a circular motion, similar to the tail portion 33 of the first embodiment, and is provided with a pair of curved edges 1331a and 1331b. The fin-like portion 134 of the artificial lure 130 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of soft rays 1341, similar to the fin-like portion 34 of the first embodiment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the artificial lure 130 is attached to the hook 140 (fishing hook) of the rig 100 by inserting the hook 140 into the center of the head portion 131. Here, the rig 100 in which the artificial lure 130 of this embodiment is used is not limited to the rig 100 used for sabiki fishing shown in Figure 6, but may be used in other rigs as well. Here, the rig 100 for sabiki fishing comprises a main line 110 connected to the main line, branch leaders 111 branched off from the main line 110, hooks 140 attached to the ends of each branch leader, and a basket 150 attached to the main line 110, with the artificial lure 130 of this embodiment being attached to each of the hooks 140.

[0031] When the lure 130 of this embodiment moves in the water, it performs the same action as the lure (necktie 30) of the first embodiment. Therefore, it can realistically reproduce the movement of fish and entice fish to bite.
