Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to ayu lure used when ayu fishing. [Background technology]

[0002] Ayu fishing, which generally uses ayu as bait, is well known, but recently, lures that mimic the shape of ayu (ayu lures) have been used instead of live ayu. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a gripping part for clamping the line of a fishing hook is provided at the rear of the ventral side of a main body that mimics the shape of ayu. Patent Document 1 also discloses a configuration in which a weight is provided at the bottom of the central area inside the main body and a hollow part is formed at the rear so that the main body can be balanced in water to maintain a roughly horizontal state and quickly dive. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-194275 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Ayu lures are used in shallow and deep waters of mountain streams where rocks covered with moss are present. When the conventional ayu lure disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is used in shallow water, it is prone to getting caught on rocks. Also, if the weight is positioned and the cavity is formed in a way that keeps the body in a roughly horizontal position, the lure is likely to get caught on the tail fin, which can lead to line trouble. Furthermore, when ayu enters its territory, it has the habit of rushing from the center of the abdomen to the area of ​​the abdomen on the rear side. However, if the body is configured to be roughly horizontal in the water, the abdomen on the tail fin side does not lift up, making it difficult for the ayu to get caught.

[0005] The object of this invention is to provide a sweetfish lure that is less likely to get caught on rocks or have line troubles and that can improve fishing results. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The sweetfish lure of the present invention is characterized by having a body that imitates the shape of a sweetfish, a back line connection part provided on the rear side of the back of the body and to which the line of a fishing hook is connected, a weight provided on the front side inside the body and maintaining the body in a forward leaning position, and an air chamber provided on the rear side from the center position of the body and floating the rear side of the body while maintaining it in the forward leaning position.

[0007] The sweetfish lure with the above-mentioned structure has a back-side line connection part to which the line of the fishing hook is connected on the rear side of the back of the main body, so that line trouble and snagging are unlikely to occur even in shallow water. In particular, a weight that maintains the main body in a forward tilted position is provided on the front side inside the main body, and an air chamber that floats the rear side of the main body while keeping it in the forward tilted position is provided on the rear side from the center position of the main body, so that the tail side of the main body is kept floating while maintaining the forward tilted position. This makes it easier for the line to slip out upwards, making line trouble and snagging less likely to occur. In addition, during actual fishing, the tail side of the main body is raised, making it easier for sweetfish trying to protect their territory to lunge toward the abdomen of the main body, making it easier for the sweetfish to get caught. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, an ayu lure can be obtained that is less likely to get snagged or have line trouble, thereby improving fishing results. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] Cross-sectional view of the sweetfish lure shown in Figure 1. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of a sweetfish lure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the sweetfish lure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiment, the head side of the main body is called the front side and the tail side is called the rear side, and these are defined as the front-rear direction. The back side is called the top side and the abdomen side is called the bottom side, and these are defined as the height direction. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the top-bottom direction is defined as the width direction (left-right direction).

[0011] 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the sweetfish lure, where FIG. 1(a) is an oblique view, FIG. 1(b) is a front view, FIG. 1(c) is a rear view, FIG. 1(d) is a plan view, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the sweetfish lure shown in FIG. 1.

[0012] The sweetfish lure 1 of this embodiment has a main body 3 that imitates the shape of a sweetfish. The main body 3 can be made of, for example, a hard resin material, and a pattern similar to that of a natural sweetfish may be formed on the surface. Alternatively, the main body 3 may be made of a transparent material, and a sheet 40 (for example, a shiny sheet material with a scale pattern, stripe pattern, lattice pattern, etc.) may be installed inside. Also, a reflective surface or reflector capable of mirror reflection may be provided inside or outside the main body 3. This allows light from the outside to be mirror-reflected, making a strong appeal to fish.

[0013] The main body 3 of this embodiment is configured as a joint type divided into a plurality of parts from the head to the tail (divided into three parts: a first main body 3A, a second main body 3B, and a third main body 3C). The sheet 40 can be configured as divided bodies obtained by dividing the main body 3 (at least one of the first main body 3A, the second main body 3B, and the third main body 3C) in the width direction, and can be disposed by being sandwiched between the inner surfaces of each divided body and adhesively bonding the divided bodies.

[0014] Connecting members 5 are provided between the first body 3A and the second body 3B, and between the second body 3B and the third body 3C, and the first body 3A, the second body 3B, and the third body 3C are connected to each other so as to be capable of bending and displacing in the width direction.

[0015] The main body 3 is provided with fins, similar to those of an actual sweetfish. In this embodiment, a dorsal fin 7 protruding upward from the back of the first main body 3A, a pectoral fin 8 protruding widthwise from the ventral side of the first main body 3A, an adipose fin 9 protruding upward from the back of the third main body 3C, and a caudal fin 10 protruding backward from the rear end of the third main body 3C are provided. In this case, the main body 3 may be provided with additional pelvic and anal fins, or may be configured without some of the fins.

[0016] A dorsal line connecting part 15 to which the line of a fishhook is connected is provided on the rear side (third main body 3C) of the main body 3. Also, a ventral line connecting part 25 to which the line of a fishhook is connected, similar to the dorsal line connecting part 15, is provided on the rear side (second main body 3B) of the abdominal part of the main body 3.

[0017] In this embodiment, the back side line connection part 15 is formed into an eight-ring made of metal material curved into the shape of an eight, with one end, the ring-shaped part 15b, embedded within the main body 3 and the other end, the ring-shaped part (eye) 15a, attached so as to be exposed from the main body 3. The figure-eight ring is embedded in the main body so as to penetrate it in the width direction. With this mounting structure, the eye 15a will not come off the main body 3 even in the narrow back portion, and the mounting state can be stabilized even when a large load is applied.

[0018] A swivel 30 connected to the ventral line connecting part 25 can be detachably attached to the exposed eye 15a of the dorsal line connecting part 15. This swivel 30 has a ring part 30a at one end that is detachably engaged with the eye 15a, and a clamping part 30b at the other end that clamps the line. That is, by attaching the ring part 30a to the eye 15a, the line is fixed at a high position in the height direction, so that the hook is prevented from getting caught on the river bottom and is also less likely to get caught on the tail fin 10. In addition, the dorsal line connecting part 15 (swivel 30) can be replaced as necessary.

[0019] In addition, because the ring portion 30a of the swivel 30 is attached to the eye 15a, the swivel 30 can rotate widely in the width direction of the main body 3 around the eye 15a due to the play between the eye 15a and the ring portion 30a, and the movable range of the line (fish hook) is expanded. This allows the line (fish hook) to move widely in the width direction along the flow of the river as well as along the main body 3, improving the catch. Furthermore, because the eye 15a is attached to the back of the main body 3, the line (fish hook) is prevented from getting caught on the river bottom, and even if it gets caught on the tail fin 10, it is easy to remove, and snagging is suppressed.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the adipose fin 9 is formed on the main body (third main body 3C) and the eye 15a is exposed on the back between the adipose fin 9 and the tail fin 10. Therefore, even though the adipose fin 9 is provided on the main body, the line (fishhook) will not get caught on the adipose fin 9.

[0021] As with the dorsal line connecting part 15, the ventral line connecting part 25 is formed into a figure-eight ring made of metal material, with one end, ring-shaped part 125b, embedded in the main body 3 and the other end, ring-shaped part (eye) 25a, attached so as to be exposed from the main body 3. In this way, by providing line connecting parts on the dorsal and ventral parts of the main body 3, the angler can select an appropriate line connecting part depending on the depth of the river.

[0022] Line eyes 20, 21 to which a fishing line from a fishing rod is connected are provided on the rear part of the front side (first main body 3A) of the main body 3. In this case, the fishing line can be connected to either of the line eyes 20, 21, taking into consideration the overall balance, etc. Also, a sinker eye 22 is provided in the mouth area of ​​the front side (first main body 3A) of the main body 3. A sinker member is detachably attached to this sinker eye 22 as necessary.

[0023] A weight 50 is provided on the front side (first main body 3A) inside the main body 3 to maintain the main body 3 in a forward tilted position. This weight 50 is formed, for example, in a plate shape, and by providing it along the ventral side of the main body 3, the main body 3 can be easily maintained in a forward tilted position when a fishing line is attached to the line eye 20 or the line eye 21 and the main body 3 is pulled in water. In addition, such a plate-shaped weight 50 can be provided so as to be clamped between the lower parts of the divided bodies of the first main body 3 which are divided in the width direction.

[0024] An air chamber (cavity) 60 is provided on the rear side of the main body 3 so as to float the rear side of the main body 3 while the main body 3 is in the forward tilted position. The air chamber 60 is provided on the rear side of the center position of the main body 3 in order to float the rear side of the main body 3. Specifically, when the length of the main body 3 in the front-rear direction is L, the air chamber 60 may be provided rearward from the center position that is 1 / 2L from the tip of the main body 3. Alternatively, if the main body 3 does not have a tail fin 10, the air chamber 60 may be provided rearward from the center position that is 1 / 2L1 from the tip of the main body 3, when the length of the main body 3 in the front-rear direction from the tip to the tail end is L1.

[0025] Considering that the rear side of the main body 3 is to be raised, the air chamber 60 is preferably provided on the rear side of the second main body 3B, but a part of it may be provided in the first main body 3A, or a part or all of it may be provided in the third main body 3C. In other words, as long as the rear side of the main body 3 can be raised, the formation position, size, etc., can be appropriately modified.

[0026] The sweetfish lure 1 configured as described above has a backside line connector 15 to which the line of the fishing hook is connected, provided on the rear side of the back of the main body 3, and by connecting the line to this part, the occurrence of line trouble and snagging can be reduced even in shallow water. In this case, a weight 50 that keeps the main body 3 in a forward tilted position is provided on the front side inside the main body 3, and an air chamber 60 that floats the rear side of the main body 3 is provided on the rear side from the center position of the main body 3, so the main body 3 can maintain a forward tilted position and the tail side is kept floating, making it difficult for line trouble and snagging to occur. Furthermore, because the tail side of the main body 3 is raised, sweetfish that are trying to protect their territory will easily rush toward the abdominal side of the main body 3 (sweetfish will easily get caught on the fishing hook), and the catch will be improved.

[0027] The present invention can be modified in various ways other than the above-described embodiment. The above-mentioned sweetfish lure can be applied to a minnow type (type in which the main body 3 is not divided) as shown in Fig. 3, in addition to the joint type shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. In this case, in the minnow type sweetfish lure, in addition to the lure shown in Fig. 3 (without lip and with tail fin), it is also possible to make a sweetfish lure with a lip and without a tail fin. In this way, the configuration and material of the main body 3 can be modified as appropriate, and the length, width, inclination angle, etc. of the lip attached to the jaw portion of the main body can be modified as appropriate.

[0028] The shape and arrangement of the sinker 50 provided in the main body can be modified as appropriate, so long as it is of a weight and is located in a position that allows the main body 3 to maintain a forward tilted posture when the fishing line is attached to the line eye 20 or the line eye 21 and pulled in water. The size, position and number of the air chambers 60 formed in the main body can also be modified as appropriate. Furthermore, the line connection part only needs to be provided at least on the back side so as to prevent the line from getting caught on the bottom, and the installation position and configuration can also be modified as appropriate.
