Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a bait lure capable of fishing for squid in egging without getting caught on seaweed or rocks during underwater operation that cannot be seen with the naked eye. [Background technology]

[0002] Eging, a traditional squid fishing method, involves tying a lure with an umbrella hook at the rear end, which resembles a young fish to be used as bait, to the line from the rod, and then using the rod to throw it into the sea. The lure sinks due to the weight of the weight, and the line is pulled up from the rod, causing the lure to jump up. This technique tricks the squid into mistaking the lure for a living young fish by repeatedly jerking the lure, and if the squid uses its arms to hold the lure in an attempt to catch it, and the line is pulled, the umbrella hook at the rear end of the lure will pierce the squid, and the squid can be reeled in by pulling the line without slackening.

[0003] However, in order to catch larger squid or more squid in this type of eging, it is said to be desirable to let the bait sink to the vicinity of the rocks near the seabed, which are said to be the squid's habitat, and then jerk the bait.However, at the same time, in the ocean where the angler cannot see, the umbrella hook, which is always open, always has the potential to get caught on seaweed or rocks, causing the bait to get snagged.

[0004] Once the hook gets caught on seaweed or a reef, when the line is pulled to retrieve the bait, the seaweed may break or the hook may come off the reef, allowing the bait to be retrieved. However, if the strength of the seaweed or rock that the hook caught exceeds the tensile strength of the line, the line will break and the bait cannot be retrieved and will be lost. Losing a bait is an economic loss for the angler, and it also means a loss of time to remake the tackle. Lost baits also lead to environmental pollution in the ocean, so many anglers take great care when egging to avoid getting snagged. Also, the worry of getting snagged makes it difficult to fish near the seabed.

[0005] One of the traditional main methods for avoiding snagging in egging involves inferring the depth at which seaweed or reefs are likely to be found based on the underwater topography of the surrounding area, ocean condition information from fishing magazines, or the angler's own experience, which are invisible to the naked eye, and counting the seconds after the lure hits the water to get an idea of ​​how deep it will sink.Then, using the rod to pull the lure up before it reaches a depth where snagging is likely to occur, thereby avoiding snagging.

[0006] Another traditional technique is to use a line with high tensile strength to increase the chances of retrieving the line attached to the lure even if it gets snagged on a rock.

[0007] Another well-known example is Patent Document 1, which describes a lure in which an umbrella hook is engaged with a shaft extending from the rear end of the lure, and when the engaging force when the lure gets snagged exceeds a static load of 1.5 to 2.5 kg, the umbrella hook and shaft slide off the lure body, allowing only the lure body to be retrieved.

[0008] Another well-known lure, Patent Document 2, has a hemispherical water-receiving body at the rear end of the lure that is pulled toward the main body of the lure by a spring mechanism, covering and concealing the tip of the umbrella hook. When the line is suddenly pulled, the water-receiving body receives water pressure and the spring expands, moving it away from the rear, exposing the tip of the umbrella hook, thereby catching squid. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication 2022-74202 Public Relations Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] However, the conventional method of avoiding snagging, which involves counting the depth to which the lure sinks after it hits the water, and then pulling up the line before it reaches the estimated depth of seaweed or reefs, is a method in which the safe depth to avoid snagging is merely an estimate based on available information, and it is impossible to grasp the undulating conditions of the reefs on the seabed that cannot be seen with the naked eye. In addition, although this method attempts to measure the depth to which the lure sinks by counting, the speed of sinking is determined by a combination of many factors, such as the speed and direction of the tidal current and the wind on the sea, making it difficult to accurately measure the depth of the lure, and there are many challenges to avoiding snagging by counting.

[0012] Another traditional method of preventing snags is to use a line with high tensile strength, but this method requires a thicker line diameter, which increases the air resistance when casting a lure using a rod, sacrificing casting distance. For anglers who want to cast as far as possible and search a wide area to get a good catch, choosing a thick line that sacrifices casting distance is a difficult solution.

[0013] Another well-known patent document 1 attempts to make it possible to retrieve only the lure body by having the umbrella hook slide off the lure body when the static load on the umbrella hook exceeds 1.5 to 2.5 kg, but squids over 1.5 kg can also be targeted in egging, and for anglers who want to catch a larger squid, it is a great disappointment to lose the squid, which was the original purpose, even if the umbrella hook slips off and only the body can be retrieved, despite having caught a big one. Also, even if the squid is less than 1.5 kg, when the line is quickly pulled using the rod, the resistance of the seawater on the lure and squid is added as weight, so there is a high possibility that the overall load will exceed 1.5 kg in an instant, and there is a problem that the squid that was caught with great care may not be reeled in.

[0014] The next known lure, Patent Document 2, is a lure that aims to catch squid by exposing the tip of the umbrella hook when the line is suddenly pulled, and the hemispherical water receiving body at the rear end of the lure receives water pressure, causing the spring to expand and move backwards, but in egging, the most common time for the lure to get snagged is when the line is suddenly pulled upwards and the lure is thrown up in the jerk to appeal to the squid as a live bait. When the lure is jerked, the water receiving body of the lure receives water pressure and the umbrella hook is exposed, with the head of the lure facing up and the umbrella hook at the rear end facing down, increasing the possibility of getting snagged. Egging is a type of fishing where the quality of the jerking operation also determines the catch, and there is a problem that as long as the jerking operation is performed, there is a possibility of getting snagged on the bottom.

[0015] The present invention provides a lure that prevents snagging when the lure is jerked in the sea because the parapet is closed, but when the squid grabs the lure with its arms as a predatory behavior, the parapet opens to pierce the squid and pull it up. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] The lure of the present invention as claimed in claim 1 for solving the above-mentioned problems is broadly composed of a head body and a rear body, and has an overall approximate spindle shape.

[0017] The head body is composed of a head, a body shaft, and a parasol part. The head is provided with a line eye at the front end for tying the line, eyes and fibrous members at the middle of both sides, and a weight at the bottom for stabilizing its posture in the sea and for sinking. It is preferable that the outer periphery of the head extends rearward in the longitudinal direction at the rear end.

[0018] The main shaft extends longitudinally rearward from the rear end of the head. The direction in which the head is located is defined as the longitudinal forward direction, and the direction in which the weight is located is defined as the longitudinal downward direction.

[0019] The needle section is provided with a plurality of needles, each of which is sharp at the front and roughly spherical at the rear end of the main shaft, and a needle retaining cover that loosely fits each needle of the needle so that they can be radially expanded. It is preferable that each needle of the needle is arranged radially at 360 degrees, but they may be arranged in roughly the upper half.

[0020] The space between the rear end of the main shaft, in which the roughly spherical portions of each needle of the umbrella needle are loosely fitted, and the umbrella needle retaining cover has an appropriate amount of play that allows each needle of the umbrella needle to expand radially at an acute angle relative to the main shaft. Also, the gap between the edge of the circular rear end face of the main shaft and the inner edge of the front face of the umbrella needle retaining cover has an appropriate distance that prevents the roughly spherical portions of each needle of the umbrella needle from slipping out.

[0021] Another means for allowing each needle of the umbrella pin to be freely expanded radially may be a hinge configuration on the upper roller of the umbrella or on the rear end of each needle.

[0022] The rear fuselage is composed of the fuselage, the rear fuselage shaft, and the bevel needle opening and closing board.

[0023] The body is made of an elastic material such as elastically deformable silicon, synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, foamed resin, urethane, etc. To facilitate elastic deformation, it is preferable to provide a hollow portion in approximately the upper half of the body.

[0024] The rear fuselage shaft is structured to enclose the outer periphery of the main body shaft, to be slidable relative to the main body shaft, but not rotatable in the circumferential direction.

[0025] As a means for preventing rotation in this circumferential direction, as shown in FIG. 8, the main body shaft is provided with a non-rotatable guide pin, and the rear fuselage shaft is provided with a non-rotatable guide groove that engages with the non-rotatable guide pin.

[0026] As an alternative means for preventing the aft fuselage shaft from rotating circumferentially relative to the main body shaft, the main body and fuselage shafts may have non-circular cross sections.

[0027] The umbrella needle opening and closing plate is located at the rear end of the rear body shaft and has holes through which the umbrella needles are loosely inserted. In each hole, the outer side as viewed from the center is defined as the outer wall, and the inner side as viewed from the center is defined as the inner wall.

[0028] The means for engaging the connecting engaging part is by abutment of the head engaging part, which is the front surface of the downward protrusion at the upper rear end of the head, and the body engaging part, which is the rear surface of the upward protrusion at the upper front end of the body.

[0029] Other locking means may include a locking means using a convex portion provided on either the upper rear end of the head or the upper front end of the body, and a concave portion provided on the other of the upper rear end of the head or the upper front end of the body, into which the convex portion can be inserted, or a locking means using a magnet on either the upper rear end of the head or the upper front end of the body, and a magnetic material or magnetic force from a magnet on the other. In either of the locking means, the upper position of the connecting locking portion is preferable, but the lower position may also be used.

[0030] The connecting locking portion is structured so that when the body is elastically deformed, the position of the body locking portion shifts and the locking is released.

[0031] When the connecting locking part is locked, the head body and the rear body are connected and integrated as a lure, and each of the umbrella hooks is pressed inward by the outer walls of each hole of the umbrella hook opening and closing plate, closing the lure, and the tips of each of the umbrella hooks are close to the rear end surface of the body and point to the inside of the rear end surface of the body.

[0032] When pressure is applied to a part of the body, the body made of an elastic material undergoes elastic deformation, and the connection locking portion is released from its locking state. When the rear body is released from the lock, it separates from the head body and becomes able to slide longitudinally rearward relative to the head body, and in response to the rearward sliding, each of the needles of the umbrella needles is pushed outward by the inner walls of each hole in the umbrella needle opening and closing plate and spreads radially.

[0033] When each of the needles of the umbrella hook comes into contact with both the inner and outer walls of each hole of the umbrella hook opening and closing plate, the spreading stops. At the same time, the rear body stops sliding backward. At this time, each needle of the umbrella hook is at an acute angle to the axis of the main shaft, and the tip of each needle of the umbrella hook points to the outside of the rear end face of the body.

[0034] The present invention of claim 2 is a fish bait characterized in that the tip of each of the umbrella hooks in claim 1 is provided with a modifier, so that when a fish bites it, the umbrella hooks will not come off even if the fish thrashes back and forth and side to side in an attempt to escape. Effect of the Invention

[0035] The lure of the present invention as defined in claim 1 has a major feature in that it utilizes the squid's own predatory behaviour of embracing the lure in the operation of releasing the connecting locking part, which is necessary to open the umbrella hook from its closed state.

[0036] Therefore, until the squid grabs the bait, the umbrella hook remains closed, allowing it to sink close to the seabed and be operated without getting caught on rocks. On the other hand, when a squid grabs the lure, the connecting locking part is released and the parapet hook opens, making it possible to pierce the squid and pull it out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS EXAMPLES

[0038] BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE DISCLOSURE The present invention will be described in detail below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings as appropriate, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0039] The lure 1 of FIG. 1 according to claim 1 is roughly composed of a head body 2 and a rear body 20 as shown in FIG. 5, and has an approximate spindle shape overall.

[0040] The head body 2 is composed of a head 3 , a body shaft 4 and a parasol part 5 .

[0041] The head 3 is provided with a line eye 11 at the front end for tying the line, eyes 13 and fibrous members 14 in the middle of both sides, and a weight 12 at the bottom for stabilizing its posture in the sea and for sinking, and the outer periphery 15 of the head extends longitudinally rearward at the rear end.

[0042] The direction in which the head is located is defined as the front in the longitudinal direction, and the direction in which the weight 12 is located is defined as the downward direction.

[0043] The main shaft 4 extends rearward in the longitudinal direction from the rear end of the head 3 .

[0044] The umbrella needle section 5 is provided with umbrella needles 6 at the rear end of the main shaft 4, which are composed of multiple needles with pointed tips and roughly spherical rear ends, and umbrella needle retaining covers 8 that loosely fit each of the umbrella needles 6 so that they can be freely expanded radially.

[0045] 6, the space between the rear end of the main shaft, into which the roughly spherical portions of each pin of the umbrella pin 6 are loosely fitted, and the umbrella pin retaining cover 8 has an appropriate amount of play that allows each pin of the umbrella pin to expand radially at an acute angle relative to the main shaft 4. In addition, the gap between the edge 7 of the rear end face of the main shaft 4 and the inner edge 9 of the front face of the umbrella pin retaining cover 8 has an appropriate spacing that prevents the roughly spherical portions of each pin of the umbrella pin 6 from slipping out.

[0046] The rear fuselage 20 is composed of a fuselage 21, a rear fuselage shaft 22, and a bevel needle opening and closing disk 23.

[0047] The body 21 is made of an elastic material such as elastically deformable silicon, synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, foamed resin, urethane, etc. To facilitate elastic deformation, a hollow portion is provided in approximately the upper half of the body 21. A hollow portion is provided in approximately half of the upper portion.

[0048] The rear fuselage shaft 22 wraps around the outer periphery of the main body shaft 4 and is structured so as to be slidable relative to the main body shaft 4 but unable to rotate in the circumferential direction.

[0049] As a means for preventing rotation in the circumferential direction, as shown in FIG. 8, the main body shaft is provided with a non-rotatable guide pin 10, and the rear fuselage shaft is provided with a non-rotatable guide groove 26 which engages with the non-rotatable guide pin 10.

[0050] The umbrella needle opening and closing board 23 is located at the rear end of the rear body shaft 22 and has holes 25 through which each needle of the umbrella needle 6 is loosely inserted. In each hole 25, the inside as viewed from the center is defined as an inner wall 25a, and the outside as viewed from the center is defined as an outer wall 25b.

[0051] The means of engagement of the connecting engagement portion 30 is by abutment of the head engagement portion 30a, which is the front surface of the downward protrusion at the upper rear end of the head, and the body engagement portion 30b, which is the rear surface of the upward protrusion at the upper front end of the body.

[0052] The connecting locking portion 30 is structured so that when the body 21 is elastically deformed, the position of the body locking portion 30b shifts, and the locking is released.

[0053] When the angler engages the connecting engagement part 30 in preparation for throwing the lure 1 into the sea, the head body 2 and the rear body 20 are connected and integrated as a lure, and each of the needles of the umbrella hook 6 is pressed inward and closed by the outer walls 25b of each hole 25 of the umbrella hook opening and closing board 23. At this time, the tips of each needle of the umbrella hook 6 are close to the rear end surface of the body 21 and point to the inside of the rear end surface of the body 21.

[0054] In this state, no seaweed or rocks get between the rear end surface of the body 21 and the tip of each hook of the bevel hook 6, so there is no risk of getting snagged on roots. Furthermore, a commonly used method by anglers to make squid mistake the lure 1 for a living fish and to make their presence known is to use the weight of the lure to make it sink and then pull the line from the rod to make the lure 1 rise sharply, a so-called jerking operation. However, even if this is done repeatedly, the water pressure applied to the body 21 is uniform, so that the body 21 maintains its shape and the connecting locking portion 30 does not come loose.

[0055] Since the angler does not have to worry about getting snagged, he or she can boldly sink and manipulate Lure 1 close to the ocean bottom, where larger squid are said to live.

[0056] On the other hand, if the angler's appeal to the squid, such as by jerking the lure, is successful and the squid uses its arms to grab the body 21 of the lure 1 as part of its feeding behavior, pressure will be applied to part of the body 21, causing the body 21, which is made of an elastic material, to elastically deform as shown in Figure 7, shifting the position of the rear body engaging part 30b and causing the engaging part 30 to disengage.

[0057] When the rear body 20 is released from the connecting locking portion 30, it separates from the head body 2 and becomes able to slide longitudinally rearward relative to the head body 2. In response to the rearward sliding, each needle of the umbrella needle 6 is pushed outward and spread radially by the inner walls 25a of each hole of the umbrella needle opening and closing plate 23.

[0058] The rear body 20 continues to slide rearward in the longitudinal direction, and when each needle of the umbrella needle 6 comes into contact with both the inner wall 25a and the outer wall 25b of each hole of the umbrella needle opening and closing board 23, the expansion stops. At the same time, the rear body 20 also stops sliding rearward. At this time, each needle of the umbrella needle 6 is at an acute angle to the axis of the main shaft 4, and the tip of each needle of the umbrella needle 6 points to the outside of the rear end surface of the body 21, making it possible to pierce the squid.

[0059] In this state, when the angler pulls the line, the umbrella hook 6 will pierce the arm of the squid, etc. The angler can recognize that the umbrella hook 6 has pierced the arm of the squid, etc., by feeling the weight of the squid and the increased water resistance caused by the squid through the line. When the angler recognizes the presence of the squid, if the angler reels in the line without loosening it, the squid will have a tendency to try to escape in the opposite direction to which the line is being pulled, so the squid will not come off the umbrella hook 6 which maintains its acute angle, and the angler can reel the squid in.
