Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to fishing lures, and more particularly to hard lures. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART As an artificial bait for fishing, for example, a lure for fishing disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known.

[0003] In the artificial lure described in Patent Document 1, an insertion part attached to surround the fishing hook is inserted into a groove part provided in the artificial lure body so that the fishing hook does not rotate or shift from the intended position relative to the artificial lure body and the fishing hook can be easily attached and removed.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2025-103406 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Although the lure described above allows a fishhook to be attached easily and detachably without moving relative to the lure body, only a fishhook of a shape that matches the insertion part can be attached. In addition, if the insertion part is damaged or lost, there is a problem in that there is no way to attach a fishhook other than to use an insertion part of the same shape.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned background art, and its object is to provide a fishing lure that can be fitted with various shapes of fishing hooks and that allows the hooks to be fixed to the lure body using tools that anglers generally carry. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention provides the following means:

[0008] 1) A fishing lure having a detachable fishing hook attached to a lure body, characterized in that it comprises a locking member attached to the lure body, and a thread-like member that is locked to the locking member and pulls the fishing hook in the direction of the locking member.

[0009] 2) The fishing lure according to claim 1, further comprising an insertion passage provided on the lure body, positioned between the fishhook and the locking member, for inserting the filamentous member.

[0010] 3) A fishing lure having a detachable fishing hook attached to a lure body, characterized in that it comprises a locking member attached to the lure body, a thread-like member locked to the locking member and pulling the fishing hook in the direction of the locking member, and an insertion hole attached to the lure body for inserting the fishing hook.

[0011] 4) The fishing lure according to claim 3, further comprising a groove provided on the lure body, connected to the insertion hole, and for holding the shank of the fishing hook.

[0012] 5) A fishing lure according to claim 3, wherein the insertion hole has an opening at an end opposite to the groove, the opening having a concave curved shape that roughly corresponds to a part of the outer circumferential surface of the spherical body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] In the above paragraph 1, the thread-like member is connected to the hook and the locking member provided on the lure body so as to fasten them together. This applies tension to the hook in the direction of the locking member, thereby fixing the hook to the lure body.

[0014] In the previous paragraph 2, an insertion passage is provided inside the lure body for inserting the filament that connects the fishing hook and the locking member. This makes the filament less susceptible to the influence of currents in the water, and maintains the tension on the fishing hook in the direction of the locking member. This increases the strength with which the fishing hook is fixed to the lure body.

[0015] In the previous paragraph 3, an insertion hole is provided so that part of the fishhook is positioned inside the main body. This reduces the impact of currents on the fishhook even in water, and maintains tension on the fishhook toward the locking member. Furthermore, the fishhook abuts against the wall inside the insertion hole, limiting its movement in the radial direction of the insertion hole. This increases the strength with which the fishhook is fixed to the lure main body.

[0016] In the previous paragraph 4, a groove is provided that is connected to the insertion hole and holds the shank of the fishhook. This reduces the impact of currents on the fishhook even underwater, and maintains the tension on the fishhook toward the locking member. Furthermore, the fishhook abuts against the wall inside the groove, limiting its movement in the width direction of the side of the groove. This increases the strength with which the fishhook is fixed to the lure body.

[0017] Furthermore, since the groove does not have a top plate, any fishhook can be fixed as long as its shaft and part of its curved section fit within the width of the groove. This means that fishhooks of various shapes can be attached.

[0018] In the above paragraph 5, the end of the insertion hole opposite the groove has a concave curved surface that roughly corresponds to part of the outer periphery of the spherical body. This allows a fishhook equipped with a spherical weight, such as a jig head, to abut against the curved surface of the weight, thereby increasing the strength with which the fishhook is fixed to the lure body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments only, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] The fishing lure (10) of this embodiment is a lure comprising a lure body (20) and a detachable fishhook (30), and includes a locking member (40) attached to the lure body (20), a filamentous member (50) engaged with the locking member (40) and pulling the fishhook (30) toward the locking member (40), an insertion passage (60) positioned between the fishhook (30) and the locking member (40) for inserting the filamentous member (50), an insertion hole (70) in the lure body (20) for inserting the fishhook (30), and a groove (71) in the lure body (20) connected to the insertion hole (70) for holding the fishhook shank (33), the insertion hole (70) having an opening at the end opposite the groove (71), and the opening having a concave portion (72) substantially corresponding to a portion of the outer periphery of the spherical body. The tip of a fishing line such as a fishing leader (not shown) is attached to the line eye (31) of the fishhook (30).

[0022] At least a part of the part of the lure body 20 that comes into contact with the fishhook 30 is preferably made of a hard material such as hard resin or metal, because the fishhook 30 can be more firmly fixed by being made of a hard material.

[0023] The fishhook 30 is preferably a single hook such as a jig head, because a single hook makes it easy to hold the fishhook without widening the width of the groove 71 in the lateral direction.

[0024] A thread-like member 50 is connected to the locking member 40 so as to connect the locking member 40 and the curved portion 32 of the hook. This applies tension to the hook 30 in the direction of the locking member 40, and the hook 30 can be fixed to the lure body 20.

[0025] In this embodiment, the locking member 40 uses a harris stopper, but it may also be, for example, a clip, adhesive tape, or a protrusion for fastening the thread-like member 50, in other words, as long as it can lock the thread-like member 50 without loosening.

[0026] In this embodiment, the locking member 40 is fixed to the lure body 20 by a pin 80, but it may also be fixed by other methods such as embedding or gluing.

[0027] The thread-like member 50 is preferably a tool commonly used in fishing, such as a fishing line or wire, because such a tool can be easily replaced during a fishing trip and there is no need to prepare a dedicated part for fixing the fishhook 30.

[0028] In this embodiment, the thread member 50 is connected to the curved portion 32 of the fishhook by being hooked on it, but it may also be connected by other methods such as knotting.

[0029] The insertion passage 60 is located between the fishhook 30 and the locking member 40, and the filamentous member 50 is inserted into it. This makes the filamentous member 50 less susceptible to the influence of currents and drifting objects in the water, and maintains the tension on the fishhook 30 in the direction of the locking member 40. This increases the strength with which the fishhook 30 is fixed to the lure body 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, the insertion passage 60 is arranged in a straight line from the rear end of the groove 71 toward the vicinity of the locking member 40, but it may also be arranged, for example, vertically from the rear end of the groove 71 toward the bottom surface, or in a curved shape; in other words, it is sufficient if it can maintain the tension applied from the thread-like member 50 to the fishhook 30.

[0031] The insertion hole 70 is provided on the front face of the lure body 20, and the fishhook 30 is inserted into it. Therefore, the fishhook shank 33 is located inside the lure body 20. This reduces the impact of currents and drifting objects on the fishhook 30 even in water, and maintains the tension on the fishhook 30 in the direction of the locking member 40. Furthermore, the fishhook shank 33 abuts against the wall inside the insertion hole 70, restricting the fishhook 30 from moving radially out of the insertion hole 70. This increases the strength with which the fishhook 30 is fixed to the lure body 20.

[0032] The groove 71 is connected to the insertion hole 70 and is disposed inside the lure body 20. As the groove 71 holds the hook shaft 33, the influence of the current on the fishhook 30 can be reduced even in water, and the tension on the fishhook 30 in the direction of the locking member is maintained. Furthermore, the fishhook 30 abuts against the wall inside the groove 71, so movement of the fishhook 30 in the width direction of the side of the groove 71 is restricted. This increases the strength with which the fishhook 30 is fixed to the lure body 20.

[0033] Furthermore, since there is no top plate in the groove 71, the fishhook can be fixed as long as the shape of the fishhook shaft 33 and part of the fishhook curved portion 32 fits within the groove 71. Therefore, fishhooks of various shapes can be attached.

[0034] The concave curved surface portion 72 is provided in an opening provided at the end of the insertion hole 70 on the opposite side from the groove portion 71, and roughly corresponds to a part of the outer circumferential surface of the spherical body. This allows a fishhook 30 equipped with a spherical fishhook sinker 34, such as a jig head, to abut against the curved surface of the fishhook sinker 34. This increases the strength with which the fishhook 30 is fixed to the lure main body 20. [Explanation of symbols]
