Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the fishing device used in conventional fukase fishing, when the operation of scooping up (raising and dropping) the device is performed to drop the bait again onto the shelf at the same point where the device was thrown in, there is a problem that the leader gets easily entangled with the fishing line. Also, in the fishing device used in conventional fukase fishing, since the weight of the device body is relatively light in order to drop the bait into the water in a natural state, it is difficult to cast the device far and difficult to send out the fishing line.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] One form of fishing tackle disclosed in this specification includes a linear super-elastic wire having a first ring portion provided at one end and a second ring portion provided at the other end, a through-floating body movable on a fishing line connected to the first ring portion, a floating stopper that restricts a movable range above the through-floating body on the fishing line, a weight attached near the first ring portion on the super-elastic wire, a harris connected to the second ring portion, and a fishing hook tied to the harris. According to this form of fishing tackle, when a twitching operation is performed, the super-elastic wire keeps the distance between the fishing line and the harris, preventing the harris from getting entangled with the fishing line. Also, due to the weight of the super-elastic wire and the weight, long casting is easy, and it is also easy to feed out the fishing line. Moreover, due to the flexible elasticity of the super-elastic wire, the bait can be dropped into the water in a natural and close state. As a result, the bait can be dropped into the target shelf earlier, improving the fishing result.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the tackle 100. The tackle 100 is a fishing tackle used for float fishing. The tackle 100 is attached to a fishing line 530 for use. The fishing line 530 is a line wound around a reel 510. The fishing line 530 is fed out from the reel 510 through the tip of a rod 520. The tackle 100 includes a floating stopper 110, a through-floating body 120, a super-elastic wire 130, a weight 140, a harris 150, and a fishing hook 160.

[0008] The super-elastic wire 130 of the mechanism 100 is a metal part having super-elasticity. The super-elastic wire 130 is linear. The super-elastic wire 130 is a nickel-titanium alloy having both shape memory characteristics and super-elastic characteristics. The super-elastic wire 130 has a ring portion 132, a straight portion 134, and a ring portion 136.

[0009] The ring portion 132 of the super-elastic wire 130 is a portion (first ring portion) formed by bending one end of the straight portion 134 on the side of the guide line 530 in an annular shape. The ring portion 132 is connected to the guide line 530. The guide line 530 is directly connected to the ring portion 132. The guide line 530 may be indirectly connected to the ring portion 132 via a swivel (not shown).

[0010] The straight portion 134 of the super-elastic wire 130 is a linear portion connecting between the ring portion 132 and the ring portion 136. The diameter of the straight portion 134 may be 0.2 to 0.6 mm. The length of the straight portion 134 may be 10 cm to 20 cm.

[0011] The ring portion 136 of the super-elastic wire 130 is a portion (second ring portion) formed by bending the other end of the straight portion 134 on the side of the harris 150 in an annular shape. The ring portion 136 is connected to the harris 150. The harris 150 is directly connected to the ring portion 136. The harris 150 may be indirectly connected to the ring portion 136 via a swivel (not shown).

[0012] The floating stopper 110 of the mechanism 100 limits the movable range above the floating center 120 in the guide line 530. The floating stopper 110 is made of rubber. The floating stopper 110 may be a knot of the thread. The position for fixing the floating stopper 110 may be a position corresponding to the depth of the shelf for aiming at the fish, for example, a position 3.0 to 5.0 m from the fishing hook 160.

[0013] The through-floating body 120 of the device 100 is movable on the guide line 530 connected to the ring portion 132 of the super-elastic wire 130. The buoyancy of the through-floating body 120 is adjusted to balance the total weight of the super-elastic wire 130 and the weight 140.

[0014] The weight 140 of the device 100 is attached near the ring portion 132 of the super-elastic wire 130. The weight 140 is a lead plate weight wound around the straight portion 134 of the super-elastic wire 130. The weight 140 may be other weights such as a ball weight and a split shot weight.

[0015] The line 150 of the device 100 is a thread connecting between the ring portion 136 of the super-elastic wire 130 and the fishing hook 160. The line 150 is connected to the ring portion 136 of the super-elastic wire 130. The length of the line 150 may be 1.0 - 1.5 m.

[0016] The fishing hook 160 of the device 100 is attached to the line 150. The fishing hook 160 is used with the bait 800 attached.

[0017] Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of the device 100 in water. The state in Figure 2 is the state where the guide line 530 is fed out until the through-floating body 120 hits the floating rubber 110 after the device 100 is thrown into the point. In the state of Figure 2, the super-elastic wire 130 is bent laterally by the water resistance applied to the bait 800. Therefore, the line 150, the fishing hook 160, and the bait 800 sink at a sufficient distance from the guide line 530.

[0018] Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of the device 100 in water. The state in Figure 3 is the state where the bending of the super-elastic wire 130 has subsided. In the state of Figure 3, the bait 800 attached to the fishing hook 160 is sinking in a natural and close state.

[0019] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of the device 100 in water. The state in Figure 4 is the state where the bait 800 attached to the fishing hook 160 has completely sunk. In the state of Figure 4, the through-float 120 is in a state of being submerged deeper in the water surface WS than in the state of Figure 2. From this state, the user can operate the rod 520 to jerk (lift and drop) the device 100, and then drop the bait 800 again from the state of Figure 2 to the same shelf point.

[0020] According to the device 100 described above, when the jerking operation is performed, since the super-elastic wire 130 maintains the distance between the guide line 530 and the swivel 150, it is possible to prevent the swivel 150 from getting entangled with the guide line 530. Also, due to the weight of the super-elastic wire 130 and the weight 140, long casting is easy, and it is also possible to pay out the guide line 530. Moreover, due to the flexible elasticity of the super-elastic wire 130, the bait 800 can be dropped into the water in a natural and close state. As a result, the bait can be dropped onto the target shelf faster, so that the fishing result can be improved.

[0021] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the gist thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the summary of the invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems, or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Also, the technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted.
