Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to an improvement to a bait hook used in squid fishing to secure bait fish (bait fish). [Background technology]

[0002] Yaen fishing is a fishing technique that is said to have originated in Wakayama Prefecture, in which a live fish such as horse mackerel is put on a hook and left to swim, and when a target fish such as a squid tries to eat it and bites, a special fishing tool called yaen is slid along the fishing line and sent near the squid, and the target is caught with the hook at the end. There are many enthusiasts because of the unique thrill and the fun of bargaining with the target.

[0003] As shown in FIG. 5, the yaen 100 usually has one or more yaen hooks 102 at least at the front end (as shown in FIG. 5, the yaen hooks 102 may be arranged at other places besides the tip of the yaen body 100). The yaen body 101 has a linear shape, and a pair of supports (front support 103 and rear support 104) that extend parallel to each other in a direction perpendicular to the yaen body 101 and support the yaen body so that it can move back and forth along the fishing line 105 at the tip side opposite to the yaen body 101. In the yaen 100 shown in FIG. 5, the tips of the front support 103 and rear support 104 can have any structure as long as they can support the yaen body 100 in a state where it can move along the fishing line when it is hooked on the fishing line or threaded through the fishing line. In some cases, the sliding part with the fishing line is coated with a 10-layer resin to facilitate the movement of the yaen body 100, and the tips of the front support 103 and rear support 104 have line rollers. A weight 106 may be provided on the rear side of the yaen main body 100 to increase the movement speed in the water and to lower the center of gravity to stabilize the posture during movement.

[0004] The behavior of the yaen cannot be directly controlled, but is indirectly controlled by adjusting the tension of the fishing line through the operation of the fishing rod and reel. It is desirable to control the position of the yaen while keeping it as close as possible to the target of the catch that is holding the bait fish, but since the yaen that is designed to be easily moved along the fishing line as described above can also be easily moved in the direction away from the target of the catch, there is a need for a way to make it difficult to move the yaen in the direction away from the target while making it easy to move the yaen in the direction toward the target of the catch.

[0005] For example, a device called a yaen stopper for attaching to a fishing line is commercially available, as shown in Non-Patent Document 1. Patent Document 1 also discloses a yaen fishing tackle that includes front and rear fishing line guides located above a rod-shaped main body, a yaen hook provided at the tip of the rod-shaped main body, and a magnetic attraction piece provided below the front side of the fishing line loop in the front fishing line guide, allowing the yaen to be cast accurately to a desired position by the action of magnetic force, and the yaen to stay in that position reliably, resulting in a high catch.

[0006] Patent Document 2 also discloses a squid fishing yaen that includes a support rod made of wire, a hook arranged on the tip side of the support rod, and a line insertion section formed by forming a wire rod into a spiral shape at the tip of each of the supports erected at the base end side of the support rod and at a position closer to the hook, in which the line insertion section on the hook side is formed so that the apex of the line insertion space in the line insertion section forms an acute angle and the yaen is formed by wrapping around two or more times with a gap between adjacent wire rods into which a fitting body arranged at the tip of the line can fit, and the fitting body fits into the gap between adjacent wire rods, thereby forming a yaen.

[0008] [Non-Patent Document 1] Katsuichi Co., Ltd. website (URL: https: / / www.katsuichi.co.jp / ikacra / products / 1367-ip-1) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] However, the Yaen stopper described in Non-Patent Document 1 requires the work of threading the Yaen stopper, which has a fine structure, through the fishing line and attaching it outdoors, and there are problems such as poor workability because it is difficult to see the handle during the time periods around sunrise and sunset, which are considered to be suitable for Yaen fishing, and the risk of dropping and losing the Yaen stopper on the dark ground. In addition, the Yaen fishing tackle described in Patent Document 1 has a complex structure, and like the Yaen stopper described in Non-Patent Document 1, there is a problem that it is difficult to smoothly attach it outdoors where it is difficult to see the handle. The squid fishing Yaen described in Patent Document 2 has a problem of being incompatible with existing Yaens.

[0010] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a yaen fishing rig that is easy to attach, has a simple structure, and is applicable to many commercially available yaens. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In accordance with the above-mentioned objective, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problem by providing a bait hook for yaen fishing, which uses a yaen having a linear yaen body with one or more yaen hooks arranged at at least the front tip, and a pair of front and rear supports extending parallel to each other in a direction perpendicular to the yaen body and supporting the yaen body so that it can move back and forth along the fishing line at the tip side opposite the yaen body, the bait hook being hooked onto a bait fish to hold the bait fish freely swimming in the water, a connector having a first connecting ring at one end that penetrates the tip of the hook and is arranged to support the hook so that it can move freely, and a second connecting ring at the other end for fastening and fixing the end of the fishing line through which it is passed, and a yaen locking device between the first connecting ring and the second connecting ring of the connector, which is configured to prevent the front support of the yaen from moving from the first connecting ring side to the second connecting ring side.

[0012] In the yaen fishing hook of the present invention, it is preferable that the yaen hooking device has at least one cross-section whose width in a direction perpendicular to an imaginary axis connecting the center of the first connecting ring and the center of the second connecting ring continuously increases from the second connecting ring to the first connecting ring.

[0013] In the above case, it is preferable that the yaen locking tool has a circular bottom surface with a diameter of 3 mm to 4 mm and a cone shape with a height of 5 mm to 10 mm. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, a bait for yaen fishing is provided which does not require complicated installation procedures, has a simple structure and is therefore inexpensive, can be directly applied to many commercially available yaen, and can contribute to increasing the catch in yaen fishing.

[Diagram 5] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a yaen fishing line. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Next, with reference to the attached drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described to help the understanding of the present invention. Note that the structure shown in the drawings is merely for the purpose of aiding the understanding of the present invention, and the ratio of the size of each component and the scale in the vertical and horizontal directions are not necessarily the same, and for example, some parts may be exaggerated. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment shown in the drawings.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, a yaen fishing bait hook 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "yaen fishing bait hook" or "bait hook") is a bait hook used for yaen fishing using a yaen having a structure such as that shown in Figure 5, and has a hook 11 that is hooked onto a bait fish (bait fish) F and holds the bait fish so that it can swim freely in the water, and a first connecting ring 13 at one end that passes through the tip c of the hook and is arranged to support the hook 11 so that it can move freely, and a second connecting ring 14 at the other end for passing the end of a fishing line (not shown) through it and fastening it, and a connector 12 that connects the hook 11 to the fishing line.

[0018] Between the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 14 of the connector 12, for example, there is a yaen locking device 15 configured to hinder the front support 103 of the yaen 100 shown in Fig. 5 from moving from the first connecting ring 13 side to the second connecting ring 14 side. "Configured to hinder (the yaen) from moving" means that it becomes more difficult for the yaen to move along the fishing line compared to when the yaen locking device is not present, and in light of the purpose of the present invention and the problem to be solved, it is preferable that the yaen is configured to be more difficult for the yaen to move from the first connecting ring 13 side to the second connecting ring 14 side than from the second connecting ring 14 side to the first connecting ring 13 side.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the yaen hook 15 has an enlarged portion having a side shape, for example, a spindle shape, a barrel shape, or an oval sphere shape, thereby preventing the front support 103 of the yaen 100 from climbing over the enlarged portion and moving from the first connecting ring 13 side to the second connecting ring 14 side, thereby holding the yaen 100 in the vicinity of the fishing target and making it easier for the yaen hook 101 to catch the fishing target.

[0020] As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the yaen hook 15 preferably has at least one cross section in which the width W in the direction perpendicular to the virtual axis X-X' increases continuously from the second connecting ring 14 to the first connecting ring 13 along the virtual axis X-X' connecting the center of the first connecting ring 13 and the center of the second connecting ring 14 shown in Fig. 3. By having the yaen hook 15 have the above cross section, it becomes much more difficult for the front support 103 of the yaen 100 to move from the first connecting ring 13 side to the second connecting ring 14 side than from the second connecting ring 14 side to the first connecting ring 13 side, so that the yaen 100 can be more effectively held in the vicinity of the fishing target. Examples of the above cross sections include an isosceles triangle, a bell shape, a bullet shape, a trumpet shape, and the like. For reasons such as ease of processing, the yaen hook 15 is preferably a rotating body with the virtual axis X-X' as the rotation axis, such as a triangular pyramid.

[0021] The dimensions of the yaen fastener 15 can be determined appropriately depending on the size of the hook 11, the size of the yaen main body used, the size and shape of the support, etc., but as an example, as shown in Figure 3, the length L (corresponding to the height of the triangular pyramid) of the triangular pyramid-shaped yaen fastener 15 is preferably 5 to 10 mm, more preferably 7 mm to 10 mm, and the diameter D (synonymous with the width W in the direction perpendicular to the imaginary axis X-X') of the bottom surface on the first connecting ring 13 side is preferably 3 to 4 mm, more preferably 3.5 mm to 4 mm, which is preferable in that it can be applied to many commercially available yaens.

[0022] In the above, with reference to Figures 2 and 3, we have described a case in which the width W in the direction perpendicular to the virtual axis X-X' continuously increases from the second connecting ring 14 to the first connecting ring 13 along the direction of the virtual axis X-X' connecting the center of the first connecting ring 13 and the center of the second connecting ring 14. However, even if the distribution of the width W along the direction of the virtual axis X-X' is other than the above (for example, when the width W is uniform along the direction of the virtual axis X-X' and is equal to or greater than a predetermined value), the speed at which the cast yaen moves from the second connecting ring 14 side to the first connecting ring 13 side after stopping temporarily near the caught target is smaller than the speed at which the cast yaen moves from the first connecting ring 13 side to the second connecting ring 14 side, so that it may be possible to effectively inhibit the movement of the yaen from the second connecting ring 14 side to the first connecting ring 13 side.

[0023] It is preferable that the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 14 are rotatably attached to the yaen fastener 15 in order to function as a twist-back device for the fishing line.

[0024] Regarding the tackles and other tackles used in yaen fishing using the yaen fishing tackle 10, and the fish used as bait, those used in normal yaen fishing can be used without any particular restrictions. The main catches in yaen fishing are squids such as bigfin reef squid, cuttlefish, and swordtip squid. In particular, bigfin reef squids that grow to 500g or more from winter to early summer are suitable in terms of ease of being caught in a yaen. Other catches include flounder and yellowtail.

[0025] The bait fish is often horse mackerel, which is cast into the sea while still alive and free to swim, with a hook 11 attached to its tail. Freshwater fish such as Japanese dace, which is resistant to seawater, may also be used.

[0026] Regarding the fishing line, any thickness and material used in yaen fishing can be used without any particular restrictions. For example, the main line may be fastened and fixed to the second connecting ring 14, or a leader connected to the end of the main line may be fastened and fixed.

[0027] An example of a yaen fishing tackle using the yaen fishing hook 10 is shown in Figure 4. By using the yaen fishing hook 10 and a tackle with a simple structure as shown in Figure 4, a yaen fishing tackle that meets the above-mentioned objectives can be realized. [Explanation of symbols]
