[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the lure of the embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the lure of the embodiment. [Diagram 5] 11A and 11B are a side view and a cross-sectional view of a modified example of the lure of the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The lure according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. For ease of explanation, in each drawing, the upper side is indicated as Up, the lower side as Lo, the right side as Ri, the left side as Le, the front side as Fr, and the rear side as Rr, as necessary. In this application, the directions of up / down, left / right, and front / rear are based on the normal posture when the lure is moved in water, and in this embodiment, the posture in which the balance weights (weights) 140a and 140b face downward as described later.

[0010] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the lure 100. Fig. 2(a) is a side view of the lure 100, and Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line II in Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the lure 100. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the lure 100. The lure 100 is a hard plug that includes a lure body 110 and a hook 130 attached to the lure body 110, specifically a type of lure called a sinking pencil.

[0011] The lure body 110 functions as the main body of the lure 100, and is formed by joining a pair of left and right synthetic resin half-split members 110L and 110R. The lure body 110 is substantially streamlined, and its external shape is formed to resemble a small fish, and it is colored to resemble a small fish as a whole. Since it resembles a small fish in this way, the lure body 110 can be divided into a head 111, which is the head portion, a back 112, which is the back portion, a belly 113, which is the abdomen portion, and a tail 114, which is the tail portion. Although the lure body 110 has a half-split structure, the structure is not limited, and the material is not limited.

[0012] The head 111 is the head portion of the lure body 110. The head 111 is located at the front end of the lure body 110. A line eye 115 for tying a fishing line is attached to the front end of the head 111. The head 111 is also provided with eyes that imitate the eyes of a small fish, and a gill portion that imitates the gills of a small fish is shaped. The head 111 may have a lip for receiving water and diving deeper.

[0013] The back 112 is the back portion of the lure body 110. The back 112 is located at the upper portion of the lure body 110. In this embodiment, the back 112 is provided with a groove 120 extending toward the tail 114. As will be described later, the groove 120 stores a shank 131, which is a part of the hook 130, so that the shank 131 can move in and out. The groove 120 is formed by the recesses 116 formed on the joint surfaces of the half members 110L and 110R.

[0014] The belly 113 is the abdominal portion of the lure body 110. The belly 113 is located at the lower part of the lure body 110. A hook eye 117 for connecting a hook (not shown) is attached to the belly 113. In this embodiment, the belly 113 has only one hook eye 117, but the belly 113 may have multiple hook eyes so that multiple hooks can be connected, or may have no hook eye.

[0015] The tail 114 is the tail portion of the lure body 110. The tail 114 is located at the rear end of the lure body 110. A hook eye 118 for connecting a hook or blade (not shown) is attached to the rear end of the tail 114. The tail 114 does not necessarily have to have a hook eye.

[0016] The lure body 110 thus constructed has a hollow structure, as shown in FIG. 2(b), and a plurality of divided spaces are formed. For example, a space is formed at the bottom of the head 111 side, and the balance weight 140b is stored in this space. Also, a space is formed at the belly 113 side, and the balance weight 140a is stored in this space. Also, spaces are formed below the bottom of the groove 120, arranged in a row from front to back, and magnets 160 are stored in these spaces. In addition to the above, the lure body 110 may be equipped with a rattle, which is a small bead-like ball that makes a sound by hitting each other.

[0017] The groove 120 provided on the back 112 of the lure body 110 is disposed from approximately the center in the longitudinal direction of the lure body 110 to the tail 114. As shown in Figures 1, 2(b) and 3, a hole 121 having a width and depth greater than those of the groove 120 is formed at the front end of the groove 120. A hook eye 119 is attached to the front wall of the hole 121.

[0018] Hook 130 is a fishing hook curved in a substantially J-shape. Hook 130 is a single hook having shank 131 which is a linear shaft portion, bend 132 which is a curved portion connected to shank 131, hook point 133 which is a tip portion, and eye 134 at the end of shank 131. Hook 130 is made of a magnetic material.

[0019] The eye 134 of the hook 130 is disposed in the hole 121, and the eye 134 and the hook eye 119 are connected to each other through the split ring 150. The split ring 150 is a ring made by bundling a single wire-like metal, and is sized to freely enter and exit the hole 121. In this way, the hook 130 can move freely in all directions around the hook eye 119 connected to the split ring 150. The hook 130 is also detachably attached to the lure body 110 through the split ring 150. Since the split ring 150 is subjected to force due to the movement of the hook 130, it is generally made of a stainless steel material that is resistant to metal fatigue, but other materials may be used.

[0020] In this manner, the shank 131, which is a part of the hook 130 attached to the lure body 110, is stored in the groove 120. The width of the groove 120 is greater than the diameter of the shank 131. In addition, the depth of the groove 120 is greater than the diameter of the shank 131. Therefore, with the shank 131 of the hook 130 stored in the groove 120, the lure body 110 and the shank 131 overlap each other in a side view as shown in FIG. 2, that is, the shank 131 is located inside the outer periphery of the back 112 side of the lure body 110. And the bend 132 including the hook point 133 of the hook 130 is exposed upward. When the shank 131 of the hook 130 is stored in the groove 120, the stored state is maintained by the magnet 160. Then, when a certain force or more (a force greater than the fixing force due to the magnetic force of the magnet 160) is applied to the hook 130, the shank 131 comes out of the groove 120, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 2(a), and the hook 130 can move freely in each direction.

[0021] Next, the operation of the lure 100 will be described. The lure 100 is cast with a line connected to a reel of a lure rod tied to the line eye 115 of the head 111. Note that hooks may not be attached to the hook eyes 117 and 118, or hooks may be attached to them. When the lure 100 hits the water, the lure 100 sinks in the water.

[0022] When a user winds and pulls the reel, the lure 100 is pulled by the line and moves forward underwater with the head 111 at the front. At this time, the balance weights 140a and 140b cause the center of gravity of the lure 100 to be at the bottom, so the back 112 faces upward and the belly 113 faces downward. This is the normal posture when the lure 100 is moved underwater. Even when a force is applied by a water current or the like and the lure 100 tries to tilt forward / backward or left / right, the lure 100 can achieve a restoring ability to return to the normal posture.

[0023] Furthermore, when the lure 100 moves forward due to being pulled by the line, the shank 131 of the hook 130 is held in a stored state in the groove 120 by the magnet 160 . In this manner, the shank 131 of the hook 130 is stored in the groove 120 provided in the lure body 110, so that a portion of the hook 130 is hidden in the lure body 110, thereby reducing contact with obstacles that may cause snagging. In addition, since both walls of groove 120 are located on either side of shank 131 and magnet 160 holds shank 131 in a stored state, the range of motion of hook 130 is limited, thereby reducing contact with obstacles that could cause snagging. In addition, since the bend 132 including the hook point 133 of the hook 130 is exposed facing upward, it is possible to reduce contact with obstacles such as aquatic plants on the bottom of the water that are particularly prone to getting snagged.

[0024] When a fish bites the lure 100, a certain amount of force is applied to the hook 130, causing the shank 131 to come out of the groove 120. Therefore, the hook 130 can move freely in all directions, specifically up and down and forward and backward as shown by the two-dot chain lines in Fig. 2(a) and left and right as shown by the two-dot chain lines in Fig. 3. Since the hook 130 moves freely in all directions in accordance with the movement of the fish, the force applied to the hook 130 due to the resistance of the fish is dispersed, and the hook 130 is less likely to come out of the fish's mouth, i.e., to break away.

[0025] As described above, it is possible to provide a lure 100 that is less likely to get caught on bottoms in water and less likely to come loose.

[0026] The present invention has been described above using various embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the present invention, and the embodiments and modified examples may be combined as appropriate. Fig. 5(a) is a side view of a modified example of the lure 100. Fig. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view of the modified example of the lure 100. For example, the hook 130 may be a hook 135 having multiple hook points 133 as shown in FIG. 5, rather than a single hook.

[0027] The number and position of the balance weights may be appropriately set so that the lure 100 can obtain the necessary stability and balance depending on the size and shape of the lure body 110, the weight of the hook 130 attached to the bag 112, etc. Also, the balance weight is not limited to being built into the lure body 110, and may be configured to be attached to the outside of the lure body 110, for example.
