Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to fishing lures. [Background technology]

[0002] Fishing lures with a blade at the tip are known (Patent Document 1). For example, a chatterbait has a lure body (jig head) that also serves as a sinker, a hook attached to the lure body, a skirt part attached to the lure body, and a blade attached to the blade connection eye of the lure body. By providing the blade, it is possible to appeal to fish by vibration and sound. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-80826 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In conventional chatterbaits, the blade is connected to the blade connection eye, so the blade cannot be easily attached or detached. This makes the task of replacing the blade complicated. In addition, to make it easier to remove the blade, the blade can be connected to the blade connection eye via a split ring. However, this configuration increases the distance between the blade and the lure body, so the vibration of the blade is not transmitted to the lure body sufficiently, resulting in a weak action.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a lure that allows the blade to be easily attached and detached while preventing a deterioration in the action. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The lure according to the present invention comprises a lure body, a hook provided on the lure body, a blade connection eye protruding from the lure body, and a blade attached to the blade connection eye, wherein the blade is A blade body having a through hole having an elongated hole shape; A fishing line connecting portion to which a fishing line is connected, and a clip portion configured to be detachably attached to the blade connecting eye. and, Equipped with The clip portion includes an introduction portion for introducing the blade connection eye, an engagement portion for engaging with the introduction portion, and a fixing portion disposed at a position across the through hole, and the introduction portion can be engaged or disengaged with the engagement portion, and the introduction portion, the engagement portion, and the fixing portion are integrally formed, and the fixing portion and the through hole constitute the fishing line connection portion. It is characterized by:

[0007] According to the present invention, the blade can be easily attached and detached by the clip part. Furthermore, since the blade is directly attached to the blade connection eye protruding from the lure body, the distance between the lure body and the blade can be prevented from becoming large. This makes it easier for the vibration of the blade to be transmitted to the lure body, increasing its appeal to fish. In addition, since the fishing line or the snap hook connected to the fishing line can be passed through the through hole and connected to the clip, the fishing line can be easily connected to the blade. Also, the blade connection eye can be easily introduced into the clip. Also, since the lure has an engagement portion, the blade can be prevented from falling off the lure body.

[0008] In addition, it is preferable that the blade has a notch formed in a portion facing the lure body, the notch being recessed in a direction away from the lure body.

[0009] According to the present invention, when the blade is attached to the blade connection eye, the blade connection eye does not interfere with the blade, which makes it possible to better prevent the blade and the lure body from becoming separated. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, a lure can be provided that allows the blade to be easily attached and detached while preventing a decline in action. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] <Embodiment> Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted as appropriate. In the following description, "front and back," "left and right," and "up and down" follow the arrows in Figures 1 and 2. Note that these directions are used for convenience of description, and do not limit the directions of the present invention.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 1, the lure 1 according to the first embodiment includes a lure body 10, a skirt portion 11, a hook 12, a blade connection eye 13, and a blade 20. By including the blade 20, the lure 1 according to the present embodiment can enhance its appeal to fish by vibration and sound.

[0018] The lure body (jig head) 10 is formed to resemble a fish head and is a member that serves as a weight. The size and shape of the lure body 10 are not particularly limited. The lure body 10 is made of a metal with a high specific gravity, such as lead, a lead alloy, tungsten, or a tungsten alloy.

[0019] A blade connection eye 13 for attaching a blade 20 is formed protruding from the upper front side of the lure body 10. The blade connection eye 13 has an annular shape. A skirt portion 11 extending rearward and a hook 12 are attached to the rear part of the lure body 10. In this embodiment, the skirt portion 11 is made of, for example, silicon or rubber material.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the blade 20 includes a blade body 20a, a notch portion 20b, a fishing line connection portion 20c, and a clip portion 21. In this embodiment, the blade body 20a is a plate-like member and has a polygonal structure having six sides. The shape of the blade body 20a is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, triangular, rectangular, or circular, as long as it can vibrate in water. The blade body 20a may be made of metal, rubber, or the like, but in this embodiment, it is made of resin, for example. In addition, the blade 20 in this embodiment is attached to the lure body 10, but it can also be attached to a lure body imitating a fish, or a lure body imitating a shrimp, crab, or the like, as in a modified example described later.

[0021] The notch portion 20b is formed at a portion of the blade 20 facing the lure body 10 when the blade 20 is attached to the lure body 10, so as to be recessed in a direction away from the lure body 10. The notch portion 20b is cut out at the rear of the blade body 20a so as to open backward. The shape of the notch portion 20b is not particularly limited.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the fishing line connecting portion 20c is a portion for attaching a snap hook SF (see FIG. 4) to which a fishing line is connected. The fishing line connecting portion 20c is composed of a fixing portion 21e of the clip portion 21, which will be described later, and a through hole 20d. The through hole 20d is formed so as to penetrate vertically in the center of the blade body 20a. In this embodiment, the through hole 20d is a single elongated hole, but the shape and number of the through hole 20d are not limited. For example, two through holes 20d may be formed to attach the snap hook SF.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 3, the clip portion 21 is a portion to which the blade connection eye 13 is attached and detached. The clip portion 21 is fixed to the blade body 20a with adhesive or the like. The clip portion 21 includes an introduction portion 21a, a first intermediate portion 21b, a curved portion 21c, a second intermediate portion 21d, a fixing portion 21e, and an engagement portion 21f. The clip portion 21 may be composed of a plurality of members, but in this embodiment, it is integrally formed by bending one rod-shaped metal member.

[0024] The introduction portion 21a is a portion where the blade connection eye 13 is introduced. The introduction portion 21a is L-shaped, a portion of which is engaged with the engagement portion 21f, and a tip of which is bent so as to rise from the blade body 20a. The first intermediate portion 21b is continuous with the introduction portion 21a and is disposed opposite the second intermediate portion 21d across the through hole 20d. The curved portion 21c is a portion that curves and connects the ends of the first intermediate portion 21b and the second intermediate portion 21d. The curved portion 21c is formed at a position corresponding to the notch portion 20b.

[0025] The fixing portion 21e is continuous with the second intermediate portion 21d and is disposed at a position corresponding to the through hole 20d. Specifically, the fixing portion 21e is disposed so as to cross the center of the through hole 20d. As a result, the through hole 20d and the fixing portion 21e constitute the fishing line connecting portion 20c. The engaging portion 21f is a portion that engages the introduction portion 21a. The engaging portion 21f is formed by folding back the end of the fixing portion 21e toward the through hole 20d.

[0026] Next, the procedure for attaching the blade 20 to the blade connection eye 13 will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. First, the insertion portion 21a is pushed leftward to release the engagement with the engagement portion 21f. This releases the insertion portion 21a, and the clip portion 21 opens.

[0027] With the clip portion 21 open, the blade connection eye 13 is inserted from the introduction portion 21a. Then, the blade connection eye 13 is moved to the curved portion 21c via the first intermediate portion 21b. Finally, the introduction portion 21a is engaged with the engagement portion 21f again, thereby closing the clip portion 21. This allows the blade 20 to be attached to the blade connection eye 13. When removing the blade 20 from the blade connection eye 13, the same procedure as when attaching the blade 20 can be performed.

[0028] According to the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, the lure body 10 and the blade 20 are close to each other, making it difficult to attach and detach the blade 20, but the blade 20 can be easily attached and detached by providing the clip portion 21. This allows the size, shape, weight, etc. of the blade 20 to be easily changed according to the angler's preferences, and the variation of the action can be easily increased.

[0029] In addition, since the blade 20 is directly attached to the blade connection eye 13 protruding from the lure body 10, it is possible to prevent the distance between the lure body 10 and the blade 20 from becoming large. This makes it easier for the vibration of the blade 20 to be transmitted to the lure body 10, thereby increasing its appeal to fish.

[0030] In addition, since the blade 20 has a notch 20b, when the blade 20 is attached to the blade connection eye 13, the blade connection eye 13 fits within the notch 20b and does not interfere with the blade 20. In other words, the blade 20 and the lure body 10 can be more effectively prevented from being separated from each other.

[0031] Furthermore, the blade 20 has a through hole 20d, and the fixing portion 21e of the clip portion 21 is disposed at a position corresponding to the through hole 20d. In other words, the fixing portion 21e overlaps with the through hole 20d, dividing the through hole 20d into two, so that the snap hook SF can be passed through the through hole 20d and connected to the fixing portion 21e (fishing line connecting portion 20c) of the clip portion 21. This allows the fishing line to be easily connected to the blade 20 via the snap hook SF, as shown in FIG. 4. The fishing line may also be directly connected to the fixing portion 21e (fishing line connecting portion 20c).

[0032] In addition, the clip portion 21 includes the introduction portion 21a for introducing the blade connection eye 13 and the engagement portion 21f for engaging with the introduction portion 21a, so that the blade 20 can be attached and detached more easily by removing the introduction portion 21a from the engagement portion 21f. In addition, although the engagement portion 21f may be omitted, providing the engagement portion 21f can prevent the lure body 10 from falling off the introduction portion 21a.

[0033] <Modification> Next, a modified example of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the lure 1A according to the modified example includes a lure body 30 and a blade 20. The lure body 30 includes a blade connection eye 31, a front hook eye 32, a rear hook eye 33, and hooks 34, 34. The blade 20 of this embodiment can be applied to such a lure body 30. In other words, the present invention can be applied to lure bodies of all shapes. The other configurations and effects are the same as those of the embodiment, so the description will be omitted.

[0034] The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and each component can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, The blade body may be made of a hard material such as metal. In that case, the blade body and the clip part may be fixed by welding. The lure body 10 and the blade 20 may be always in contact with each other, or may be arranged with a gap therebetween. [Explanation of symbols]
