Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a fish attracting capsule for personal fishing. [Background technology]

[0002] In fishing, which is done by individuals as a hobby, for example, as shown in Figure 6, a fishing line 2 is attached to a fishing rod 1, and the fishing line 2 can be reeled in via a reel 3, while a fishing hook or other tackle 4 is attached at an appropriate point on the fishing line 2.

[0003] Fishing equipment often differs depending on the fishing spot or target, but in this conventional example, a fishing rod with a guide 7 used for sea fishing, lure fishing, etc. is shown. 8 is a weight.

[0004] The fishing line 2 in the substantially vertical direction with the weight 8 at the end in Figure 6 is shown short for the sake of simplicity, but in practice it is set to an appropriate length depending on the target.

[0005] Fishing spots vary, including embankments, rocky shores, boats, rivers, lakes, and ponds, and the type of fishing rod 1 and fishing line 2 are changed depending on the purpose (target) of fishing.

[0006] Furthermore, as the tackle 4, an artificial bait (lure) may be used, and a hook may be attached to an appropriate location of the artificial bait, and the bait may be attached to the hook.

[0007] Fishing bait often varies depending on the type of fish being targeted.

[0008] In addition, bait (komase) may be used to attract fish to the fishing spot.

[0009] BACKGROUND ART A technique for artificial baits (lure) used for personal fishing is known from the prior art as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3241127 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] Fishing using the artificial bait disclosed in Patent Document 1 can sometimes produce more efficient catches than fishing using a fishing rod without a guide and a bait attached to a hook at the end.

[0012] However, with conventional fishing equipment, there were problems such as the time until a bite (the state in which a fish bites the bait or lure and causes a change in the fishing rod or float) being longer or the number of bites being fewer, depending on the quality of the action (the action of operating the rod to move the lure as if it were alive) and the shape of the fishing equipment.

[0013] In personal fishing, the catch is not important, but if the catch is not good, it often causes disappointment and dismay, as if the time and travel spent on fishing were wasted.

[0014] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to enable anyone to catch a certain amount of fish, regardless of the quality of their technique (action, etc.) or fishing tackle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the fish-attracting capsule for personal fishing of the present invention is a capsule that is fixed via a fishing line, and has a capacity that allows fish-attracting material to be loaded inside.The capsule has holes at appropriate locations that allow the olfactory and gustatory components of the fish-attracting material that have mixed with water to drift out, and is equipped with a fishing hook on the outside of the capsule wall (Claim 1).

[0016] This fish-attracting capsule is fixed to a fishing line, so fishing can be done in a way that looks the same as traditional personal fishing.

[0017] The fish-attracting capsule of claim 1 has a capacity large enough to load fish-attracting material inside, has holes that allow the olfactory / gustatory components of the fish-attracting material mixed with water to drift out, and is configured with a fishing hook on the outside of the capsule wall.

[0018] Therefore, even without using bait, the target fish gather near the fish attracting material that floats out from the holes in the fish attracting capsule. Unlike lure fishing, there is no need to operate a fishing rod.

[0019] The gathered fish approach the hole and, in response to their curiosity, grab a fishing hook attached to the outside of the capsule wall, causing a bite. Bait may be attached to the fishing hook.

[0020] There may be a plurality of holes provided to allow the olfactory and gustatory components of the fish-attracting material mixed with the water to drift out (claim 2).

[0021] The holes need only allow the olfactory and gustatory components of the fish attracting material that have mixed with the water to escape to the outside. However, if multiple holes are provided, even small holes can be placed in desirable positions and numbers on the left and right, or up and down, and they can be used to efficiently attract fish.

[0022] There may be a plurality of fishing hooks provided on the outside of the capsule wall (claim 3).

[0023] For individual anglers, it is enough if one fish is caught in one fish-attracting capsule. However, if the capsule of this invention is molded to have a certain volume, the fish-attracting material mixed with the water may attract a large number of fish.

[0024] When a capsule is molded to a certain volume, the surface area of the outside of the wall becomes large, so if multiple fishing hooks are attached to the outside of the wall, it is possible to catch a large number of fish that have gathered at the same time.

[0025] The capsule is made of resin and may be a splittable capsule that can be split into two parts approximately in the middle (claim 4).

[0026] By making the capsule out of resin, it is possible to reduce weight and manufacturing costs, and it can be manufactured in any design.

[0027] Furthermore, by making it possible to separate into two parts at approximately the middle, the fish attracting material can be placed in a preferred position inside the capsule. [Effects of the Invention]

[0028] With the fish-attracting capsule for personal fishing according to the present invention, anyone can catch a certain amount of fish, regardless of fishing techniques such as action. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0030] 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a fish-attracting capsule for personal fishing according to the present invention.

[0031] First, the overall configuration will be described.

[0032] The fish-attracting capsule 10 is fixed via a fishing line. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, a plurality of leaders 28 (fishing lines) are provided on one leader 27 (fishing line), and the fish-attracting capsule 10 is attached via the leaders 28.

[0033] 21 is a fishing rod, 22 is a reel, 22-2 is a handle that rotates the reel 22, 23 is a fishing line that moves back and forth by winding / releasing the handle 22-2, 24 is a guide for the fishing line 23, and 25 is a weight.

[0034] The leader 27 is a main line (fishing line) attached to the end of the horizontal fishing line 23, and the leader 28 is a branch line (fishing line) attached to the leader 27.

[0035] When fishing, the fishing spot, such as a levee, rocky shore, boat, river, lake, etc., varies depending on the target (target fish species), and the fishing rod 21 and tackle, as well as the names of the tools, etc., also vary depending on the target.

[0036] The embodiment shown in Figure 1 illustrates a case where multiple leaders 28 are attached to a line 27 (mainly for sea fishing), but one fish-attracting capsule 10 may be attached to the tip (or line) of a single fishing line 23. An appropriate number of fishhooks (not shown) are attached to the fish-attracting capsule 10.

[0037] Next, the fish-attracting capsule 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

[0038] The number of fish-attracting capsules 10 to be attached to one fishing rod 21 can be changed depending on the fishing target. In cases such as river fishing where the length of the main line (such as a leader) in the substantially vertical direction cannot be made large, it is difficult to attach many fish-attracting capsules 10. For this reason, for example, there are cases where only one fish-attracting capsule 10 is attached to the tip of the fishing line (23).

[0039] The shape of the fish-attracting capsule 10 is not critical, but it is preferably formed into a shape that symbolizes a fish, as shown in FIG.

[0040] The fact that fish are curious has been known through several studies and observations. For example, goldfish and blue-green blenny fish show interest in new environments and sounds, and beg for food. Fish have also been observed learning to avoid danger and communicating with each other.

[0041] When the fish-attracting capsule 10 is formed into a shape that symbolizes a fish species, the fish in the water become curious and approach the fish-attracting capsule 10. This is a phenomenon that can be easily observed if a small imaging camera is installed inside the fish-attracting capsule 10.

[0042] The fish-attracting capsule 10 shown in FIG. 2, which symbolizes a fish, is generally cylindrical in shape, with one end being generally conical and tapering toward the tip.

[0043] Holes 12 are provided at appropriate locations in the fish-attracting capsule 10 to allow the fish-attracting material (described later) placed inside to dissolve in water and release olfactory / gustatory components. The shape and number of holes 12 can be changed depending on the fishing target.

[0044] Preferably, holes 12 are provided at appropriate locations on the left and right and / or top and bottom of the fish attracting capsule 10. The holes 12 are desirably set to a size that allows the olfactory and gustatory components of the fish attracting material mixed with the water to effectively escape. The more holes 12 are provided, the smaller the holes 12 can be.

[0045] The material for forming the fish-attracting capsule 10 can be selected from resin, metal, wood, etc. Resin molding is superior in terms of manufacturing cost and light weight. However, rust-resistant metals such as stainless steel are strong and resistant to deformation, making them excellent fishing rig materials. When using metals such as stainless steel, the holes 12 that release the olfactory / gustatory components of the fish-attracting material 15 can be realized by minute holes designed in various patterns using a punching process or the like. The fish-attracting capsule 10 may also be formed by winding a metal wire into a spiral shape, for example.

[0046] In the case of resin molding, it is possible to use thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylic, polyamide, etc. When transparent / semi-transparent resin is used, a small imaging camera (not shown) can be installed inside the fish attracting capsule 10 to record / live broadcast the fishing conditions.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 3, the fish-attracting capsule 10 is more preferably a split-type capsule that can be split into two parts at approximately the middle.

[0048] 10-1 is a general part formed into a roughly cylindrical shape, and 10-2 is a part having a roughly conical shape that contracts toward the tip.

[0049] The fish attracting capsule 10 is divided into front and rear parts in order to make it easier to load fish attracting material 15 inside.

[0050] The type of fish attracting material 15 varies depending on the fishing target. It may be solidified fish attracting material 15 or non-solidified fish attracting material 15 (crushed raw fishing bait, etc.).

[0051] The fish-attracting capsule 10 has a container-like shape. The size of the fish-attracting capsule 10 (container length, volume, etc.) is preferably set depending on the target, but a standardized size may also be used. For example, a general-purpose fish-attracting capsule 10 can be made by setting the length to about 8 to 10 cm and the outer diameter of the cylindrical shape to about 4 to 6 cm.

[0052] The fish-attracting capsule 10 is provided with a fishing hook (not shown) on the outside of the container wall.

[0053] The base end (tip) of the hook may be directly fixed to the outside of the wall of the container, but preferably a short length of line is passed through a thread hole in the tip and one end of the line is attached to the outside of the wall of the container. By attaching the hook via a short length of line, the hook moves and makes it easier to catch fish.

[0054] The line for distributing the fishing hook is attached by, for example, passing the line through hole 13-2 in flange 13 protruding outside the wall of fish-attracting capsule 10, as shown in Figure 4, or by tying the line to recess 13-4 in engagement piece 13-3 protruding outside the wall of fish-attracting capsule 10.

[0055] Next, the fish attracting material 15 will be described.

[0056] It is desirable to change the fish attracting material 15 depending on the target. To make the fishing bait solid (for example, clay-like), for example, it can be kneaded using bread flour, breadcrumbs, or a special bait binder. The viscosity can be adjusted by adding water. Depending on preference, yeast, shrimp, seaweed, or pieces of squid can also be added.

[0057] Different fish species prefer different foods.

[0058] For example, when fishing for Atka mackerel, fillets of Pacific saury, fillets of tuna, salted earthworms, etc. are commonly used as bait. Also, blocks of red or white shrimp, or kneaded natural ingredients are effective as ground bait.

[0059] Flatfish are said to prefer blue worms, rockworms, and earthworms. It is advisable to use different baits depending on the region and situation.

[0060] When fishing for rockfish, baits such as earthworms, squid, mackerel, saury, and small fish are used. Rockfish also like small fish and crustaceans, so these can also be used.

[0061] These fishing baits (fish attracting materials 15) are stored in the fish attracting capsule 10 in the form of small pieces or in a solid form. The fishing baits (fish attracting materials 15) mix with the water entering through the holes 12, and olfactory and gustatory components are released from the holes 12 to the outside, thereby attracting fish.

[0062] According to this configuration, the fish attracting material 15 can attract a large number of target fish, so that anyone can catch a certain amount of fish regardless of the quality of their technique (action, etc.) or fishing tackle.

[0063] It is desirable to change the type of fishing hook provided in the fish-attracting capsule 10 depending on the target. Fishing bait may be attached to the fishing hook provided in the fish-attracting capsule 10.

[0064] There are various types of fishing line, such as nylon line, fluorocarbon line, and PE line, but each material has its own characteristics, so they are used depending on the purpose.

[0065] Fishing rods are used depending on the fishing spot and target. There are telescopic rods, jointed rods, and seamless one-piece rods. [Explanation of symbols]
