Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a holder for holding a bait body pierced by a fishing hook, and a fishing rig equipped with the holder.

Background Art

[0002] In red sea bream fishing etc., a fishing method using shrimp as bait is widely known. For example, in the one-tenkara fishing method, a common method is to pierce a fishing hook into the body of a shrimp and throw it into the sea, and lure fish by means of a fall or reeling operation.

[0003] However, in such a fishing method, since the joint between the head and the body of the shrimp is relatively weak, the head of the shrimp may fall off from the body due to the water flow during the fall in water, the resistance during reeling, or the impact during casting. When the head of the shrimp thus falls off, there arises a problem that the balance of the shape and smell as bait is disrupted, and the biting of fish decreases.

[0004] In response to such a problem, a holder for holding the posture of a shrimp has been proposed. The holder described in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which cylindrical portions are provided on the head side and the tail side of the shrimp, respectively, and these are connected by a belt-like member, and can hold the posture of the shrimp.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the holder described in Patent Document 1 above has a structure in which the shrimp is inserted into a cylindrical part for attachment. This makes the process of inserting the shrimp into the cylindrical part cumbersome in actual fishing situations, making it difficult to attach bait quickly. Furthermore, since the size and shape of shrimp vary from individual to individual, if the inner diameter of the cylindrical part does not match the size of the shrimp, the shrimp may become loose inside the cylindrical part and not be held securely. On the other hand, if the inner diameter of the cylindrical part is too small, it becomes difficult to insert the shrimp at all. Therefore, there is a need for a holder and fishing rig that supports the joint between the head and body of the shrimp to prevent the head from falling off, enables easy attachment of the shrimp, and can accommodate different shrimp sizes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention is a holder for holding the joint between the head and body of a bait body impaled on a fishing hook, comprising a flexible cylindrical body, the cylindrical body having a slit formed along its longitudinal direction, and the cylindrical body being positioned to cover the joint between the head and body of the shrimp.

[0008] The above-described holder is characterized in that the cylindrical body has a needle hole formed therein for guiding the fishhook to the outside.

[0009] The above-described holder is characterized in that the needle hole is formed at an intermediate position in the crack.

[0010] In the above-described holder, the crack is formed to allow the cylindrical body to expand radially.

[0011] The above-mentioned holder is characterized by having a mounting fitting for attaching it to a weighted fishing hook.

[0012] Furthermore, the fishing rig according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a weighted fishing hook and the above-mentioned holder attached to the weighted fishing hook. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The holder and fishing rig of this invention support the joint between the head and body of the shrimp, preventing the head from falling off, while also enabling easy attachment of the shrimp and accommodating different sizes of shrimp. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] Diagram showing shrimp attached to the fishing rig shown above. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] The holder and fishing rig of this invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the fishing rig 100 of this embodiment is a fishing rig used to catch fish such as sea bream, and uses live bait. Here, the live bait is, as shown in Figure 3, for example, shrimp such as kuruma shrimp, shiba shrimp, and utase shrimp, and may be live shrimp (live bait), as well as frozen shrimp or boiled shrimp. In the following description, shrimp B will be used as an example. This fishing rig 100 comprises a single tenya 110 which is a fishing hook with a weight, and a holder 130 which is attached to the single tenya 110.

[0017] The one-tenya 110 comprises a weight portion 111, a main hook 112 fixed to the weight portion 111, and a secondary hook 114 connected to the weight portion 111 or the main hook 112 via a connecting thread 113 (secondary thread). The weight portion 111 is roughly conical or spherical in shape and is made of a high-density material such as lead or tungsten. The main hook 112 is fixed so as to extend rearward from the weight portion 111. The secondary hook 114 is positioned to move freely via the connecting thread 113.

[0018] The holding tool 130 is for holding the joint between the head (biologically the cephalothorax) and the body (biologically the abdomen) of the shrimp B. As shown in FIG. 2, it includes a cylindrical body 131 and a fixture 135.

[0019] The cylindrical body 131 is a cylindrical member, formed of a material such as plastic, for example, and has flexibility. The cylindrical body 131 is a transparent body and is formed relatively thinly. As an example of the dimensions of the cylindrical body 131, the length can be about 30 mm and the diameter can be about 12 mm. A slit 132 is formed in the cylindrical body 131 along its longitudinal direction (cylindrical axis direction). This slit 132 is formed in the upper part of the cylindrical body 131. Also, a first hole 133 is formed in the middle of the slit 132. The first hole 133 is formed in the upper rear of the cylindrical body 131. An example of the hole diameter of the first hole 133 is about 5 mm. As shown in FIG. 3, the parent needle 112 of one tenya 110 is passed through this first hole 133. Further, a second hole 134 is formed on the opposite side of the slit 132. In the present embodiment, the second hole 134 is formed in the lower front of the cylindrical body 131. The second hole 134 is a small hole smaller than the first hole 133, and an example of its hole diameter is 1 mm.

[0020] The fixture 135 is a member for attaching the holding tool 130 to one tenya 110. The fixture 135 includes a first attachment portion 136 provided at one end and a second attachment portion 137 provided at the other end. The first attachment portion 136 is formed in a ring shape, and the connecting thread 113 of one tenya 110 is passed through it. The second attachment portion 137 is also formed in a ring shape and is passed through the second hole 134 of the cylindrical body 131.

[0021] Based on FIG. 3, a method for attaching the shrimp B to the fishing rig 100 will be described. First, the parent needle 112 and the grandchild needle 114 of one fishing line 110 are attached to the shrimp B. This attachment method itself is a known method. Next, with the shrimp B attached, the cylindrical body 131 is attached to the shrimp B. When attaching, the cylindrical body 131 is elastically expanded radially along the slit 132 and attached from the back side of the shrimp B. Then, the cylindrical body 131 is disposed at a position covering the joint between the head and the body of the shrimp B. When the cylindrical body 131 is attached to the shrimp B, the slit 132 of the cylindrical body 131 is disposed along the leg side of the shrimp B. Also, the parent needle 112 protrudes outward from the first hole 133, and the grandchild needle 114 protrudes from the rear opening of the cylindrical body 131.

[0022] According to the present invention, since the holding portion between the head and the body of the shrimp B can be held, it is possible to prevent the head of the shrimp B from falling off during fishing. Also, since the slit 132 is formed in the cylindrical body 131, it can be easily attached to the shrimp B by expanding this slit 132, and a simple attachment operation can be realized. Furthermore, since the slit 132 is disposed on the leg side of the shrimp B, the legs and tactile organs of the shrimp B can be extended outward from the slit 132, and the natural posture of the shrimp B can be maintained. In addition, when the shrimp B is thick, the cylindrical body 131 can be attached to the shrimp B with the slit 132 opened, so it is possible to cope with differences in the size of the shrimp B as well.

[0023] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention may also have the following modified forms.

[0024] <Modification Example 1> The cylindrical body 131 in the above embodiment was cylindrical, but it may be elliptical or polygonal. Also, dimensions such as the wall thickness, length, and diameter of the cylindrical body 131 can be appropriately changed. Further, the material of the cylindrical body 131 is not limited to plastic, and may be a flexible material such as silicone, rubber, or elastomer.

[0025] <Modification Example 2> Although the crack 132 in the above embodiment was straight, it may also be zigzag. Furthermore, the width of the crack 132 may be partially modified.

[0026] <Variation 3> In the above embodiment, one first hole 133 is formed in the cylindrical body 131, but multiple first holes 133 may be formed along the crack 132. Also, the first hole 133 may be formed on the side surface of the cylindrical body 131.

[0027] <Modification 4> In the above embodiment, the holder 130 is attached to the shrimp B of the one-tenya 110 rig, but the holder 130 may also be attached to the shrimp B attached to a bottom fishing rig, a ledger rig, or a surf fishing rig. [Explanation of Symbols]
