Lure

Abstract

This lure is designed to move towards the pursuing fish, thereby improving the fish's chances of biting. [Solution] The lure 10 comprises a body 20 to which a fishing line 20T is attached, a propeller 30 rotatably mounted on the body 20, and an elastic member that accumulates elastic force when the body 20 is pulled forward via the fishing line 20T by an amount exceeding a predetermined force, by the rotation of the propeller 30. When the force pulling the body 20 via the fishing line 20T becomes weaker than the predetermined force, the propeller 30 rotates due to the elastic force accumulated in the elastic member, causing the body 20 to move backward.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a lure.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, various proposals have been made regarding lures. For example, among conventional lures, there are those provided with a body and a propeller rotatably attached to the body (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, the propeller is attached to the body in a posture that reduces the lateral force with respect to the body during rotation.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the lure is pulled with a fishing rod through a fishing line, the lure moves in a way that it escapes from the fish chasing it. Therefore, there was a risk that the fish could not be caught with the lure because the fish stopped chasing the lure.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a lure that can improve the fish's biting.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the aforementioned problems, the lure according to the present invention comprises a body to which a fishing line is attached, a propeller rotatably mounted on the body, and an elastic member that accumulates elastic force when the body is pulled forward via the fishing line by an amount exceeding a predetermined force, due to the rotation of the propeller. When the force pulling the body via the fishing line becomes weaker than the predetermined force, the propeller rotates due to the elastic force accumulated in the elastic member, causing the body to move backward. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to one or more embodiments of the lure of the present invention, the above configuration allows the lure to move towards the pursuing fish, thereby improving the likelihood of the fish biting. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] The drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present invention, including not only essential components of the invention but also optional and preferred embodiments. [Figure 1] This is a side view of the lure according to the embodiment. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the interior of the storage space built into the body of the lure. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] [Embodiment] The embodiments described below relate to the lure 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2, and include not only essential components of the invention but also optional and preferred components. The embodiments of the lure 10 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] The lure 10 shown in Figure 1 is used in conjunction with a fishing rod, fishing line 20T, and fishing hook 60, etc., to catch fish and other aquatic creatures. It is an artificial bait manufactured to resemble small fish or insects that fish are attracted to.

[0011] The lure 10 according to this embodiment comprises a body 20, a propeller 30, an elastic member 50, and a fishing hook 60.

[0012] The body 20 is formed in an elongated shape, for example, from synthetic resin. An annular portion 202 is formed at the front of the body 20 in the longitudinal direction, and a fishing line 20T is attached to the annular portion 202.

[0013] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the body 20 has a housing space 20S for housing the elastic member 50. The housing space 20S is formed, for example, in the shape of a vertically elongated cylinder.

[0014] The propeller 30 is rotatably mounted at the longitudinal rear end of the body 20.

[0015] The elastic member 50 is a rubber band formed in an annular shape from synthetic rubber and is placed in the housing space 20S. The elastic member 50 is attached to an eyebolt 201 attached to the front wall of the housing space 20S and to a fitting 301 provided on the rotation axis 30J of the propeller 30.

[0016] Then, the elastic member 50 is twisted as the propeller 30 rotates in one direction, accumulating elastic force. An elastic restoring force acts on the twisted elastic member 50, and this elastic restoring force causes the propeller 30 to rotate in the other direction.

[0017] The fishing hook 60 is formed from, for example, a metal material. The lure 10 of this embodiment has, for example, multiple (two in this example) fishing hooks 60 attached to it. The first fishing hook 60 is attached to the center of the body 20 in the longitudinal direction, and the second fishing hook 60 is attached to the rear side of the body 20 in the longitudinal direction.

[0018] When fishing with such a lure 10, if the body 20 is pulled forward by the fishing rod via the fishing line 20T by an amount exceeding a predetermined force, the propeller 30 rotates in one direction, causing elastic force to accumulate in the elastic member 50.

[0019] After that, for example, when the angler visually observes a fish, if the force pulling the body 20 by the angler becomes weaker than a predetermined force, the propeller 30 rotates to the other side by the elastic force accumulated in the elastic member 50, and the body 20 moves backward.

[0020] Therefore, according to the lure 10 according to the present embodiment, since the lure 10 moves toward the fish chasing the lure 10, the biting of the fish can be improved.

[0021] The disclosure regarding the present invention described above can be summarized at least in the following matters.

[0022] The lure 10 includes a body 20 to which a fishing line 20T is attached, a propeller 30 rotatably provided on the body 20, and an elastic member 50 in which elastic force is accumulated by the rotation of the propeller 30 when the body 20 is pulled forward via the fishing line 20T beyond a required force. When the force pulling the body 20 via the fishing line 20T becomes weaker than the required force, the body 20 moves backward by the rotation of the propeller 30 due to the elastic force accumulated in the elastic member 50.

[0023] The present invention disclosed in the above paragraph 0022 can include at least the following embodiments. These embodiments can be adopted separately or in combination with each other.

[0024] The elastic member 50 is a ring rubber formed in a circular shape by synthetic rubber.
