Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lure used for fishing and a member to be attached to the lure.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in fishing for fisheries or leisure, etc., a lure (also referred to as a mimic bait) may be used instead of live bait. The lure comes in various forms depending on the target fish. For example, target fish such as black bass and snapper prey on small fish, and a lure shaped like a small fish may be used to catch such target fish. The lure is designed in terms of its shape, color, etc. to enhance the fish-attracting effect. Also, as described above, for a lure shaped like a small fish, for example, a lure having a main body portion (e.g., a body portion) formed of a flexible material such as polyvinyl chloride or elastomer is known (e.g., Patent Document 1).

[0003] In the lure described in Patent Document 1, in order to suppress snagging, the tip of the hook is housed in a recess formed on the dorsal fin side of the main body portion of the lure. Also, in the lure described in Patent Document 1, when a fish preys on the lure, the angler performs a hooking operation, whereby the hook is exposed from the lure and the tip pierces the jaw or the like of the caught fish. Thereby, it is assumed that the angler can lift the caught fish.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Incidentally, when loading the hook into the main body of the lure described in Patent Document 1 above, it is necessary to pierce the hook from the ventral side of the main body and guide the needle tip to the depression of the main body. However, in the lure described in Patent Document 1 above, since the region through which the hook passes from the ventral side of the main body to the depression is not clear, there is a problem that it is difficult to position the needle tip at a predetermined position in the depression. Therefore, the lure described in Patent Document 1 above has problems such as piercing holes in the lure multiple times by reinserting the hook, or the holes around the needle expanding due to impacts when fishing up fish, damaging the lure.

[0006] In addition, the lure described in Patent Document 1 above is not assumed to be attached using double hooks or treble hooks other than single hooks, and it was difficult to use these hooks. Further, the lure described in Patent Document 1 above also has a problem that it is not possible to separately mount members (functional members) that enhance the fishing effect, such as blades, weights, hook guards, and rubber, or to easily replace hooks and the like.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a lure that can easily perform replacement of functional members that enhance the fishing effect and hooks, and can suppress the occurrence of snagging and damage to the lure.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] (1) The lure of the present invention provided to solve the above-described problems is a lure that swims near the water surface or in water, and includes a main body portion formed to extend from one end side in the axial direction to the other end side, and a hollow portion that opens downward in the main body portion at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the main body portion and expands inside.

[0009] Since the lure of the present invention described above has a hollow portion in the main body portion, for example, when using a hook called an offset hook, at least a part of the hook (for example, the curved portion) can be accommodated in the hollow portion. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can reduce damage caused by the hook in the main body portion.

[0010] Also, since the lure of the present invention can accommodate at least a part of the hook in the hollow portion, it is not necessary to provide an unnecessary space for hook accommodation. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can suppress a decrease in the strength of the main body portion, and it is expected that the accommodation space of the hollow portion can be utilized for accommodating various functional members (for example, weights).

[0011] (2) It is preferable that the lure of the present invention described above is provided with a needle tip accommodating portion that is disposed above the hollow portion, opens upward of the main body portion, and can accommodate the needle tip of the hook inserted through the hollow portion so as not to protrude from the main body portion.

[0012] The lure of the present invention described above is provided with a needle tip accommodating portion that is disposed above the hollow portion and opens upward of the main body portion. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can accommodate the needle tip of the hook inserted through the hollow portion in the needle tip accommodating portion. That is, the lure of the present invention can accommodate the needle tip of the hook in the needle tip accommodating portion while accommodating at least a part of the hook in the hollow portion. Therefore, the lure of the present invention does not need to provide an opening for accommodating a hook (for example, the shaft portion of the hook called a shank or the curved portion called a bend) separately from the hollow portion, so the lure can be miniaturized.

[0013] (3) It is preferable that the lure of the present invention described above is characterized in that a first communication hole that communicates the hollow portion and the needle tip accommodating portion is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction, and the needle tip of the hook can be inserted through the first communication hole.

[0014] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described above, the needle tip of the hook can be reliably accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion through the hollow portion and the first communication hole. Further, in the lure of the present invention, since the first communication hole for communicating the hollow portion and the needle tip accommodating portion in advance is formed, the hook can be accommodated in the hollow portion and the needle tip accommodating portion without damaging the main body portion with the needle tip.

[0015] (4) It is preferable that the above-described lure of the present invention is characterized in that the first communication hole is formed by the insertion of the needle tip of the hook.

[0016] In the lure of the present invention described above, since the first communication hole through which the needle tip of the hook passes is formed by the insertion of the needle tip, at least a part of the hook is held (supported) by the main body portion. Therefore, in the lure of the present invention, the movement of the hook relative to the main body portion can be suppressed, so that the swimming of the lure is stabilized and the fishing effect can be prevented from being impaired. Further, in the lure of the present invention, since the movement of the hook relative to the main body portion can be suppressed, the hooking can be stabilized when the lure is preyed on by a fish, and the fish can be more reliably caught.

[0017] (5) It is preferable that the above-described lure of the present invention has a line eye hole opening on the front end side of the main body portion, and the line eye hole communicates with the hollow portion.

[0018] In the lure of the present invention described above, since the line eye hole communicating with the hollow portion is formed in advance, for example, the hook can be held (supported) on the main body portion by passing the line eye of the hook through the line eye hole. Thereby, in the lure of the present invention, the separation of the hook and the lure (main body portion) can be suppressed. Further, in the lure of the present invention, the damage or dropout of the lure due to the separation of the hook and the lure (main body portion) can be suppressed.

[0019] (6) The lure of the present invention described above is detachable from the hollow portion, and has a mounted member at least partially accommodable in the hollow portion, and a line eye hole that opens on the front end side of the main body portion and communicates with the hollow portion. The mounted member includes a line eye exposed to the outside of the main body portion through the line eye hole, a holding portion that can be held by the main body portion when accommodated in the hollow portion, and a mounting portion located on the lower end side of the mounted member. It is preferably characterized by this.

[0020] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (6) above, a mounted member having a mounting portion can be accommodated in the hollow portion. Here, since the line eye of the mounted member is exposed to the outside of the main body portion through the line eye hole and the holding portion is held by the main body portion, dropping out from the hollow portion is suppressed. Further, the mounted member is provided with a mounting portion on the lower end side of the main body portion. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can mount various functional members via the mounting portion, such as by hanging. Thereby, the lure of the present invention can enhance the fish attracting effect or swim stably. Here, it is preferable to appropriately apply a hologram or decoration that can be expected to have a fish attracting effect to the mounted member (especially the mounting portion). Thereby, a fish attracting effect on fish can be expected. Here, the mounting portion may be either at least partially accommodated in the hollow portion or entirely exposed from the hollow portion.

[0021] Further, by configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (6) above, the mounted member or the hook can be selectively used, so that damage to the main body portion can be suppressed and various functions can be provided. Also, since the mounted member and the hook of the lure of the present invention can be detachably separated from the main body portion, only the damaged part (for example, the main body portion, the mounted member, the hook) can be replaced. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can reduce the cost at the time of replacement and reduce waste, thus reducing the environmental load.

[0022] (7) The lure of the present invention described above is characterized in that a first communication hole communicating with the hollow portion is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction, the tip of the hook can be inserted through the first communication hole, and the holding portion is locked to the wall surface of the main body portion through the first communication hole.

[0023] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (7) above, the first communication hole can be shared for the tip of the hook and for holding the member to be attached. Therefore, according to the lure of the present invention, a reduction in manufacturing cost can be expected.

[0024] (8) The lure of the present invention described above is characterized in that a second communication hole communicating with the hollow portion is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction, and the holding portion is locked to the wall surface of the main body portion through the second communication hole.

[0025] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (8) above, for example, the member to be attached can be held (for example, locked) to the main body portion of the lure without damaging the first communication hole opened for the passage of the tip. As a result, the lure of the present invention can selectively use the member to be attached and use only the hook, so that the versatility of the lure can be improved.

[0026] (9) In the lure of the present invention described above, it is preferable that the holding portion is held to the main body portion by piercing the main body portion.

[0027] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (9) above, the member to be attached can be reliably held to the main body portion through the holding portion. As a result, the lure of the present invention is held to the main body portion at at least two locations, namely, the holding in the line eye hole of the line eye and the holding to the main body portion through the holding portion, so that the detachment of the member to be attached from the main body portion can be reliably suppressed.

[0028] (10) In the lure of the present invention described above, it is preferable that the member to be attached is formed of a plate along the shape of the hollow portion or a wire frame having a guide portion along at least the rear end wall of the hollow portion.

[0029] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (10) above, the plate and the wire frame can be selectively used according to the usage environment of the lure, the type of target fish, etc. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can flexibly respond to various usage environments and improve versatility. Here, the plate may be formed, for example, in a plate shape or the like according to the shape of the hollow portion. Also, the wire frame may be formed, for example, by bending a wire material such as a wire along the outer shape of the hollow portion.

[0030] (11) It is preferable that the member to be attached has an exposed portion located on the lower end side of the member to be attached and protruding from the lower end side of the main body portion, and the mounting portion is provided on the exposed portion.

[0031] In the lure of the present invention described above, the member to be attached has an exposed portion protruding from the lower end side of the main body portion, and the mounting portion is provided on the exposed portion. Therefore, in the lure of the present invention, since the mounting portion is provided on the exposed portion, various functional members can be easily attached to and detached from the mounting portion. Thereby, the lure of the present invention can enhance the fish attracting effect and swim stably. Here, it is preferable to appropriately apply a hologram or a decoration that can be expected to have a fish attracting effect to the member to be attached (especially the exposed portion). Thereby, a fish attracting effect of fish can be expected. Also, in the lure of the present invention, since the exposed portion is provided so as to protrude from the lower end side of the main body portion, the exposed portion can, for example, serve as a fin (ventral fin) and stabilize swimming. Also, in the lure of the present invention, since the exposed portion serves as a weight, the center of gravity can be lowered and swimming can be further stabilized.

[0032] (12) In the lure of the present invention described above, it is preferable that the mounting part can mount at least one of an anti-hooking guard, a hook, a weight, a blade, a rubber, and a worm.

[0033] By configuring the lure of the present invention described above as in (12) above, it is possible to improve the functionality of the lure, such as improving the fishing effect, stabilizing the swimming posture of the lure, and improving the obstacle avoidance performance.

[0034] (13) In the lure of the present invention described above, it is preferable that the member to be attached includes an attachment part to which at least one of a buoyancy body, a weight, and a magnet can be detachably or fixedly attached.

[0035] The lure of the present invention described above can be used by floating the lure near the water surface, for example, by attaching a buoyancy body (float) to the attachment part of the member to be attached. Therefore, it is expected that the lure of the present invention can achieve an effective fishing result for fish that prey on bait near the surface of the water. Further, the lure of the present invention can sink the lure into the water by attaching a weight, for example, to the attachment part of the member to be attached. Therefore, it is expected that the lure of the present invention can achieve an effective fishing result for fish in the water or near the bottom. Further, the lure of the present invention can adsorb and hold a hook to the member to be attached by magnetic force, for example, by attaching a magnet to the attachment part of the member to be attached. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can hold the tip of a double hook or a treble hook held on the mounting part of the member to be attached in a predetermined direction by magnetic force. Thereby, the lure of the present invention can suppress the hooking of the hook, for example, and improve the hookability of the fish that has preyed on the lure.

[0036] (14) In the lure of the present invention described above, the hook has a line eye, the needle tip is pierced through the hollow portion from the upper front side of the main body portion, and is accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion through the hollow portion, and it is preferable that the line eye is locked above the front portion of the main body portion.

[0037] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (14) above, even if the shank (the portion from the line eye to the curve of the hook), which is called a straight hook, is a hook with a long straight shape, it can be attached to the main body portion, and the needle tip can be accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion. As a result, the lure of the present invention can utilize various hooks regardless of the type of hook, improving versatility. Further, by configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (12) above, at least a part of the hook (for example, the shank portion) is supported by the main body portion, so that the hook can be prevented from shifting from the main body portion.

[0038] (15) The lure of the present invention described above has a line eye hole that opens on the front end side of the main body portion and communicates with the hollow portion. The hook has a line eye and a weight provided between the line eye and the needle tip. The line eye is inserted through the line eye hole, the weight is located outside the opening end of the hollow portion, and the needle tip is accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion through the hollow portion, and it is preferable that this is the feature.

[0039] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in (15) above, even a hook with a weight can be attached to the main body portion without interfering with the main body portion, and the needle tip of the hook can be accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion. As a result, the lure of the present invention can hook the fish that has preyed on the lure while suppressing the snagging. Further, since the weight can be positioned outside the opening end of the hollow portion (the lower side of the main body portion), the posture of the lure is stabilized. Therefore, the lure of the present invention can stabilize its original swimming posture and does not impair the fishing effect.

[0040] (16) The wearable member provided to solve the above-described problems is a wearable member of a lure having a main body portion formed to extend from one end side in the axial direction to the other end side, and includes a line eye, a holding portion that can be detachably held by the main body portion, and a mounting portion for mounting a functional member.

[0041] Since the wearable member of the present invention described above includes a holding portion that can be detachably held by the main body portion of the lure, it can be mounted on the main body portion of the lure instead of a hook. Further, since the wearable member of the present invention includes a mounting portion, functional members such as a anti-snag guard, a hook, a weight, a blade, a rubber, and a worm that enhance the fishing effect or change the swimming state can be mounted on the lure by retrofitting. Therefore, the wearable member of the present invention can selectively mount various functions on one lure, so that the cost performance of the lure can be improved. Here, the functional member may be mounted as necessary, or may not be mounted. Further, when mounting a functional member on the mounting portion, the functional member may be mounted by one or a plurality of combinations.

[0042] (17) The lure of the present invention described above is a lure that swims near the water surface or in the water, and includes a main body portion formed to extend from one end side in the axial direction to the other end side, and at least one first communication hole that communicates the upper side and the lower side of the main body portion and through which the holding portion of the wearable member can be inserted, and it is preferable that the holding portion is held on the outer surface of the main body portion.

[0043] By configuring the lure of the present invention as described in the above (17), the wearable member and a hook such as an offset hook can be selectively mounted on the main body portion 10. Therefore, various functions can be added to one lure of the present invention. Thereby, the cost performance of the lure of the present invention can be improved.

Effects of the Invention

[0044] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lure that can easily enhance the fishing effect by means of a functional member or the like and can replace the hook, and can suppress the snagging and damage to the lure.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0046] Hereinafter, the lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11. Note that in this embodiment, it should be noted that the hatching in the cross-sectional view is omitted. Also, in the following description, the direction extending from the head side to the tail side of the lure 1 is defined as the axial direction, and the head side is described as the front side and the tail side as the rear side. Further, in FIGS. 1 to 11, the direction viewed from the fish body surface of the main body 10 is described as the front direction. Also, in FIGS. 1 to 11, for ease of understanding, the main body 10 may be divided along the axial direction and only one side may be depicted as a cross-sectional view.

[0047] FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) show a state in which a straight hook 51 (a hook in which the shaft portion called the shank is formed in a straight line), which is a hook 50, is attached to the lure 1 of this embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the lure 1 includes a main body 10 that imitates the body of a small fish or the like. The lure 1 can be made to swim near the water surface or in the water by connecting a line (not shown) to the line eye 2 provided on the straight hook 51 and pulling the line. Note that the line eye 2 may be directly connected to the line or may indirectly connect the line via a swivel or the like.

[0048] The main body 10 is formed of a flexible material such as, for example, an elastomer or polyvinyl chloride. In this embodiment, the main body 10 is formed so as to extend from one end side (head side) in the axial direction to the rear side (the other end side). In this embodiment, the main body 10 is integrally formed from the head to the tail. The main body 10 is formed symmetrically about the axial direction, and decorations imitating eyes, pectoral fins, etc. are provided on both the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the main body 10 includes a hollow portion 11, a needle tip accommodating portion 15, and the like.

[0049] The hollow portion 11 is formed to extend inside the main body portion 10 at an intermediate portion in the axial direction (for example, near the abdomen) of the main body portion 10. The hollow portion 11 has a hollow portion opening 11A that opens downward in the main body portion 10. In this embodiment, the hollow portion opening 11A is opened along the ventral outer edge of the main body portion 10. That is, it is possible to access the inside from the hollow portion opening 11A on the lower side of the main body portion 10. Further, the hollow portion 11 can accommodate at least a part of the hook 50 (in this embodiment, the shank and the curved portion called the bend). Further, the hollow portion 11 can accommodate the member to be attached 20 (see FIG. 2) described later.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1(b), the needle tip accommodating portion 15 is formed above the hollow portion 11. The needle tip accommodating portion 15 opens upward in the main body portion 10. In this embodiment, the needle tip accommodating portion 15 is opened along the dorsal outer edge of the main body portion 10. That is, it is possible to access the inside from the opening on the upper side of the main body portion 10. In this embodiment, the needle tip accommodating portion 15 is formed to extend from near the center in the axial direction of the hollow portion 11 to the rear end in the axial direction of the hollow portion 11.

[0051] The needle tip accommodating portion 15 can accommodate the needle tip of the hook 50 (straight hook 51) inserted through the hollow portion 11 so that it does not protrude from the main body portion 10. Hereinafter, the attachment of the straight hook 51 will be specifically described.

[0052] First, by piercing the tip of the straight hook 51 from above near the head in the main body 10, the tip penetrates the main body 10 and is inserted into the hollow portion 11. Subsequently, by piercing the tip of the straight hook 51 into the intermediate wall 10A on the hollow portion 11, the tip penetrates the intermediate wall 10A and is inserted into the tip accommodating portion 15. At this time, the tip of the straight hook 51 is guided along the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the tip accommodating portion 15 due to the curvature of the bend, and thus is accommodated inside the tip accommodating portion 15. That is, the tip of the straight hook 51 is accommodated inside the tip accommodating portion 15 so as not to protrude from the main body 10. Further, the line eye 2 provided on the straight hook 51 is locked to the main body 10, thereby suppressing the straight hook 51 from falling off the main body 10.

[0053] Therefore, in the lure 1 according to the present embodiment, while utilizing the space in the hollow portion 11, the straight hook 51 can be accommodated, and the tip of the straight hook 51 can be accommodated in the tip accommodating portion 15 so that the tip does not catch. Further, in the lure 1 according to the present embodiment, at least a part of the straight hook 51 is pierced into the main body 10 and thus held by the main body 10, so that the straight hook 51 can be suppressed from swaying and moving. Thereby, the swimming posture of the lure 1 can be stabilized and hooking can be surely performed. Further, in the lure 1 according to the present embodiment, since the space of the hollow portion 11 can be used for accommodating the member 20 to be attached (also referred to as the core member 20) described later, it can contribute to the multifunctionalization of the lure 1.

[0054] The above is the configuration of the lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention when using the straight hook 51. Next, a lure 100 according to a first modification example in the case of accommodating a first plate 21 as a member 20 to be attached (also referred to as a core member 20) in the hollow portion 11 instead of the straight hook 51 will be described below. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment.

[0055] ≪First Modification Example≫ As shown in Fig. 2(b), in the lure 100 according to the first modification, as the main body 10, the same one as that in the above embodiment is used, and one in which a line eye hole 12 for passing the line eye 2 in advance is formed is used. Further, in this configuration, instead of the straight hook 51, a first plate 21 is housed in the hollow portion 11.

[0056] The first plate 21 (the member to be attached 20) is formed in a thin plate shape using, for example, a metal such as stainless steel or a resin as a material. The first plate 21 includes a plate body 21A, a line eye 2, a holding portion 21B, an exposed portion 21C, a mounting portion 21D, and the like.

[0057] The plate body 21A is formed in substantially the same shape as the hollow portion 11 and can be fitted and housed in the hollow portion 11.

[0058] The line eye 2 is formed at the tip of a shaft portion protruding obliquely upward and forward from the plate body 21A. When the plate body 21A is inserted from the hollow portion opening 11A, the line eye 2 is exposed to the outside of the main body 10 through the line eye hole 12. The line eye 2 is exposed to the outside of the main body 10 while extending through the line eye hole 12. Here, the line eye hole 12 is formed from the intermediate wall 10A toward the head (obliquely upward) of the main body 10 so as to communicate with the hollow portion 11. In the first modification, the case where the line eye hole 12 is provided in advance is illustrated, but the line eye hole 12 may be formed later in the main body 10 of the above embodiment. For example, the line eye hole 12 can be formed by various means such as piercing the needle tip of the hook 50 into the main body 10 or piercing the line eye 2 into the main body 10.

[0059] In this embodiment, the holding portion 21B is formed to project in a horn shape from the rear side to the front side of the plate body 21A. The holding portion 21B penetrates the intermediate wall 10A on the hollow portion 11 and is inserted into the needle tip accommodating portion 15. Thereby, the holding portion 21B is held (locked) on the upper surface of the intermediate wall 10A. Therefore, in the lure 100 according to the first modification example, the first plate 21 as the member to be attached is held (supported) by the main body portion 10 at two locations, namely, the shaft portion of the line eye 2 and the holding portion 21B. Note that the holding portion 21B is not only locked to the needle tip accommodating portion 15, but may be directly held by the main body portion 10, for example, like the holding portion 21B of the fourth plate 27 described in FIG. 5 to be described later.

[0060] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(c), the exposed portion 21C is located on the lower end side of the plate body 21A and is the portion that protrudes downward from the hollow portion opening 11A (main body portion 10) when the plate body 21A is accommodated in the hollow portion 11. The exposed portion 21C is expected to improve the fish attracting effect, and can be appropriately provided with a hologram, coloring, or the like. The exposed portion 21C serves as a fin and can stabilize the swimming (for example, straightness) of the lure 100. Further, a plurality of holes are formed in the exposed portion 21C as the mounting portion 21D. Note that the holes as the mounting portion 21D may be provided as necessary, and when the mounting portion 21D is provided, one or a plurality of holes can be provided.

[0061] The mounting part 21D is formed, for example, along the outer edge on the lower side (ventral side) of the main body part 10. In the present embodiment, the mounting part 21D is configured by providing three holes at appropriate intervals in the axial direction. The mounting part 21D can mount (suspend) various functional members 40 (in the drawing, a stay prevention guard 41, a weight 42, a treble hook 55, a blade 43) removably or non-removably, in the same manner as the mounting part 21D of the lure 200 according to the second modification example described later in FIG. 6. Examples of the functional member 40 include various ones such as a worm, rubber, and various hooks 50 other than those described above. Note that it is also possible not to mount the functional member 40 on the mounting part 21D, and when mounting the functional member 40, the number of functional members 40 to be mounted can be one or more. Further, when a plurality of functional members 40 are mounted, the functional members 40 may be a combination of different members in addition to a combination of the same type of members.

[0062] The above is the configuration of the lure 100 according to the first modification example of the present invention. Next, the configuration of the lure 200 according to the second modification example of the present invention will be described below. Note that the description of the same configuration as that of the above-described lure 1 and the lure 100 according to the first modification example is omitted. Also, note that the same reference numerals are used for the same members as those in the above-described embodiment and the first modification example.

[0063] ≪Second Modification Example≫ As shown in FIGS. 3(a) to 3(c), in the lure 200 according to the second modification example, a second plate 23 as a member to be mounted is accommodated in the hollow part 11. Further, a lip 3 and a line eye hole 12 are formed in the main body part 10 of the lure 200 according to the second modification example. Further, a first communication hole 13 and a second communication hole 14 that communicate the hollow part 11 and the needle tip accommodating part 15 are formed in the main body part 10.

[0064] The second plate 23 is the same as the lure 1 according to the first modification example, except that the shape and the forming direction of the line eye 2 and the holding part 21B are different from those of the first plate 21 and the number of formed mounting parts 21D is different. Therefore, when there is no particular need for description, the description is omitted.

[0065] The lip 3 is formed in a plate shape using, for example, a hard resin, and receives the water resistance during the swimming of the lure 200, and can change the swimming direction of the lure 200 (for example, a change in the direction of diving underwater or a change in the head shaking direction in the left - right direction). The shape, number, and attachment direction of the lip 3 can be changed as appropriate.

[0066] In the lure 200 according to the second modification example, the line - eye hole 12 is provided between the lip 3 on the lower side of the head in the main body portion 10. The line - eye hole 12 is formed so as to extend in the axial direction and is communicated with the hollow portion 11. In this second modification example as well, similar to the lure 1 according to the first modification example, the line - eye hole 12 may be formed later in the main body portion 10 of the above - described embodiment.

[0067] The first communication hole 13 is formed in the intermediate wall 10A closer to the rear end side of the hollow portion 11. The first communication hole 13 is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction (in the second modification example, the vertical direction) so as to communicate the hollow portion 11 and the needle - tip accommodating portion 15. As shown in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b), the first communication hole 13 is formed at a position where the needle tip of the hook 50 such as the offset hook 52 (the axis of which is offset by bending with respect to the line - eye 2) can be inserted. The first communication hole 13 is formed to have a diameter such that the needle tip of the hook 50 such as the offset hook 52 can pass through. Note that the diameter of the first communication hole 13 may be slightly larger than the axis of the hook 50, substantially the same as the axis, or slightly smaller than the axis. The first communication hole 13 can insert the needle tip of the offset hook 52, for example, and guide it to the needle - tip accommodating portion 15.

[0068] Also, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the first communication hole 13 can also insert the needle tip of the weighted hook 53 (for example, a hook with a weight 53A provided on the shank portion of the offset hook 52). In such a case, since it is not necessary to insert the weight 53A into the first communication hole 13, damage to the main body portion 10 can be prevented.

[0069] Also, in the second modification example, as shown in FIG. 3(c), the holding portion 21B in the second plate 23 is inserted into the first communication hole 13. After the holding portion 21B of the second plate 23 is inserted into the first communication hole 13, it is guided to the needle tip accommodating portion 15 and held (locked) by the intermediate wall 10A. In this way, the first communication hole 13 functions as an insertion hole for the needle tip such as the offset hook 52 or the weighted hook 53, and also functions as an insertion hole for the holding portion 21B in the second plate 23. The second plate 23 is held to the main body portion 10 at two locations by holding the holding portion 21B to the main body portion 10 via the first communication hole 13 and holding the line eye 2 to the main body portion 10 via the line eye hole 12.

[0070] The second communication hole 14 is formed on the front side of the first communication hole 13 in parallel with the first communication hole 13. That is, the second communication hole 14 is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction (in the second modification example, the vertical direction). The second communication hole 14 is formed to have a diameter such that, for example, the holding portion 21B can pass through. Note that the diameter of the second communication hole 14 may be slightly larger than the axis of the holding portion 21B, substantially the same as the axis, or slightly smaller than the axis. The second communication hole 14 may be provided as necessary, or may not be formed. As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), the second communication hole 14 can be used when inserting the holding portion 21B in the third plate 25 described later.

[0071] In the lure 200 according to the second modification example, it is the same as the exposed portion 21C and the mounting portion 21D of the first plate 21 except that the number and arrangement of the mounting portions 21D (holes) in the second plate 23 are partially different, so detailed descriptions of the exposed portion 21C and the mounting portion 21D are omitted. As shown in FIG. 6, various functional members 40 described above can be mounted on the mounting portion 21D.

[0072] Next, in the lure 200 according to the second modification example, a configuration using the third plate 25 as the mounted member 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. In this configuration, except for using the third plate 25 instead of the second plate 23, it has the same configuration as the lure 200 according to the second modification example described above. Therefore, the details of the third plate 25 will be described below.

[0073] As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), the third plate 25 includes a plate body 21A, a line eye 2, an exposed portion 21C, and a mounting portion 21D, similar to the second plate 23. The third plate 25 has a different formation direction of the holding portion 21B. Specifically, the holding portion 21B is formed in a backward-facing horn shape at the upper part of the rear end side of the plate body 21A. As shown in FIG. 4(b), when the holding portion 21B is accommodated in the hollow portion 11, it is inserted through the second communication hole 14 and thus accommodated inside the needle tip accommodating portion 15. Further, the holding portion 21B is held (locked) to the wall surface (intermediate wall 10A) of the needle tip accommodating portion 15 via the second communication hole 14. Thereby, the third plate 25 is held to the main body portion 10 at two locations, by the holding of the line eye 2 to the main body portion 10 via the line eye hole 12 and the holding of the main body portion 10 by the holding portion 21B.

[0074] The above is the configuration of the lure 200 according to the second modification example using the third plate 25. Next, in the lure 200 according to the second modification example, a configuration using the fourth plate 27 as the mounted member 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 5. In this configuration, except for using the fourth plate 27 instead of the second plate 23, it has the same configuration as the lure 200 according to the second modification example described above. Therefore, the details of the fourth plate 27 will be described below.

[0075] As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the fourth plate 27 includes a plate body 21A similar to the second plate 23, a line eye 2, an exposed portion 21C, and a mounting portion 21D. The fourth plate 27 has a different formation direction and shape of the holding portion 21B. Specifically, the holding portion 21B is formed as an acute protrusion at the rear edge of the plate body 21A. As shown in the drawing, when the holding portion 21B is accommodated in the hollow portion 11, it pierces the wall surface (main body portion 10) on the rear end side in the hollow portion 11, and thus is held (supported) by the main body portion 10. Thereby, the third plate 25 is held by the main body portion 10 at two locations, by the holding of the line eye 2 to the main body portion 10 through the line eye hole 12 and the holding of the main body portion 10 by the holding portion 21B. Note that the position, number, direction, etc. of the holding portion 21B can be changed as appropriate.

[0076] The above is the configuration of the lure 200 according to the second modification. Next, details of the configuration of the lure 300 according to the third modification will be described. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those in the above-described embodiments and the first to third modifications.

[0077] ≪Third Modification≫ As shown in FIGS. 8(a) to 8(c), in the lure 300 according to the third modification, the main body portion 10 is formed with the first communication hole 13 and the second communication hole 14 in the same manner as the lure 200 according to the second modification. Further, in the third modification, the hollow portion opening 11A of the hollow portion 11 in the main body portion 10 opens so as to expand from the front end side to the rear end side of the hollow portion 11. Note that the hollow portion opening 11A may be opened over the entire lower end portion of the hollow portion 11 or only partially, in the same manner as in the first and second modifications.

[0078] In the third modification example, a fifth plate 29 is used instead of the third plate 25. An opening as an attachment portion 30 is formed inside the plate body 21A of the fifth plate 29. The fifth plate 29 includes the same line eye 2, holding portion 21B, exposed portion 21C, and mounting portion 21D as the third plate 25. Similar to the third plate 25, the fifth plate 29 is held (supported) by the main body portion 10 by holding the line eye 2 through the line eye hole 12 and by the holding portion 21B through the second communication hole 14. Hereinafter, the description of similar parts will be omitted.

[0079] For example, a buoyancy body 46 (also referred to as a float 46), a weight 42, a magnet 47, etc. can be attached to the attachment portion 30. In the present embodiment, an integrated body of the buoyancy body 46 and the magnet 47 as a block 45 is to be attached to the attachment portion 30.

[0080] As shown in Fig. 8(a), the block 45 is formed by being divided into two parts, and is attached to the attachment portion 30 by sandwiching the fourth plate 27 from both sides. The pair of blocks 45, 45 are formed to be detachable from each other (they may be fixed). Further, the block 45 has a buoyancy body 46 formed on the front side, and a magnet 47 is mounted on the rear side through the frame of the plate body 21A. Note that the block 45 may be configured to mount either one or both of the buoyancy body 46 and the magnet 47, or may be configured not to mount the buoyancy body 46 and the magnet 47. Also, the buoyancy body 46 and the magnet 47 can be directly mounted without using the block 45.

[0081] The buoyancy body 46 is formed to be hollow on the front side (the buoyancy body 46 side) of the attachment portion 30, and can hold air inside. Thereby, the buoyancy body 46 can generate buoyancy when it is housed in the main body portion 10. Therefore, due to the buoyancy of the buoyancy body 46, the lure 300 can float on the water surface or at a predetermined water depth.

[0082] The magnet 47 is mounted on the rear side of the attachment portion 30 via the block 45. As shown in FIG. 9, the magnet 47 can attract and hold a hook 50 such as a double hook 54 by magnetic force. Thereby, the lure 300 can hold the needle tip of the double hook 54 or the like in a predetermined direction. Therefore, the lure 300 can suppress tipping and improve hooking performance.

[0083] The above is the configuration of the lure 300 according to the third modification of the present invention. Next, details of the lure 400 according to the fourth modification of the present invention in which the first communication hole 13 is not formed will be described below. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those in the above-described embodiments and the first to third modifications.

[0084] ≪Fourth Modification≫ As shown in FIG. 10(a), in the lure 400 according to the fourth modification, positioning holes 13A and 13B for positioning the needle tip of the hook 50 are formed instead of the first communication hole 13. The lure 400 according to the fourth modification has the same configuration as the lure 200 according to the second modification except that the positioning holes 13A and 13B are formed instead of the first communication hole 13, so detailed description of the same parts will be omitted. In the following description, the positioning hole on the lower side (hollow portion 11 side) will be referred to as the positioning hole 13A, and the positioning hole on the upper side (needle tip accommodating portion 15 side) will be referred to as the positioning hole 13B.

[0085] The positioning hole 13A is formed at a depth reaching the middle of the intermediate wall 10A from the lower side (hollow portion 11 side) to the upper side (needle tip accommodating portion 15 side) of the intermediate wall 10A on the rear side of the intermediate wall 10A. Further, the positioning hole 13B is formed from the upper side (needle tip accommodating portion 15 side) to the lower side (positioning hole 13A) of the intermediate wall 10A so as not to communicate with the positioning hole 13A. That is, the positioning holes 13A and 13A are formed in the intermediate wall 10A so as not to penetrate each other. The diameters of the positioning holes 13A and 13A may be formed to be the same as the diameter of the above-described first communication hole 13.

[0086] Next, a method of attaching the offset hook 52 to the lure 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 10(b). First, the tip of the needle of the offset hook 52 is inserted into the hollow portion 11, and the tip is positioned in the positioning hole 13A. Subsequently, the tip of the needle of the offset hook 52 is inserted from the lower positioning hole 13A. Subsequently, while extending the main body portion 10, the line eye 2 of the offset hook 52 is inserted into the line eye hole 12 from the side of the hollow portion 11 (behind the lip 3). As a result, the positioning hole 13A and the positioning hole 13B are penetrated to form the first communication hole 13. Subsequently, by bringing the tip of the needle of the offset hook 52 to reach the upper positioning hole 13A, the tip is guided to the tip accommodating portion 15. As a result, the offset hook 52 is attached to the lure 400. At this time, since the offset hook 52 is attached to the main body portion 10 via the hollow portion 11, the formation of a hole for attaching the offset hook 52 to the main body portion 10 can be minimized. In addition, since the hollow portion 11 can be used for accommodating the member to be attached 20, an increase in the size of the lure 400 can be suppressed. Note that the attachment of the offset hook 52 to the main body portion 10 can also be performed starting from the insertion of the line eye 2 into the line eye hole 12 prior to the insertion of the tip of the needle. Also, when removing the offset hook 52, it is advisable to start from the line eye 2 first.

[0087] Next, a lure 400 with a weighted hook 53 attached instead of the offset hook 52 will be described. Note that the method of attaching the weighted hook 53 to the lure 400 is the same as that of the offset hook 52 described above, and thus the description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 10(c), the weighted hook 53 in the mounted state on the lure 400 is such that the weight 53A is positioned outside the ventral side of the main body 10. Also, similar to the mounting method of the offset hook 52 described above, in the lure 400, when mounting the weighted hook 53, it is not necessary to insert the weight 53A into the hollow portion 11 or the positioning holes 13A, 13B. Therefore, even a hook 50 having a thick weight 53A such as the weighted hook 53 can be mounted without damaging the main body 10. Further, since the weight 53A can be positioned below the main body 10, the center of gravity of the lure 400 can be positioned at a low position, and the swimming of the lure 400 can be stabilized.

[0089] Note that the lure 400 according to the fourth modification example can also use plates such as the second plate 23, the third plate 25, the fourth plate 27, and the fifth plate 29 used in the second and third modification examples instead of the offset hook 52 and the weighted hook 53.

[0090] The above is the configuration of the lure 400 according to the fourth modification example of the present invention. Next, the lure 500 according to the fifth modification example of the present invention in which the mounted member 20 is formed of the wire frame 32 will be described in detail below. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same components as in the above-described embodiments and the first to fourth modification examples.

[0091] ≪Fifth Modification Example≫ As shown in FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b), the lure 500 according to the fifth modification example uses the same main body 10 as the lure 400 according to the fourth modification example. Also, the lure 500 uses a wire frame 32 as the mounted member 20 instead of the plates according to the second to fourth modification examples. Hereinafter, the description of the same configurations as in the above-described embodiments and the first to fourth modification examples will be omitted.

[0092] The wire frame 32 is formed, for example, by bending a wire made of metal. The wire frame 32 is bent and formed along the outer shape of the hollow portion 11, and includes a line eye 2, an exposed portion 21C, a mounting portion 21D, a holding portion 21B, and the like.

[0093] The line eye 2 is formed on one end side of the wire frame 32 and can be inserted from the hollow portion 11 side into the line eye hole 12 of the main body portion 10 and toward the outside of the main body portion 10.

[0094] In the lure 500 according to the fifth modification example, the exposed portion 21C is shared with the mounting portion 21D. The exposed portion 21C is formed along the lower end side of the hollow portion 11 of the main body portion 10, and a plurality of mounting portions 21D are formed in the middle portion. Note that the exposed portion 21C may be formed so as to protrude from the main body portion 10 as necessary, and the exposed portion 21C can also be accommodated inside the hollow portion 11.

[0095] In the lure 500 according to the fifth modification example, the mounting portion 21D is formed by bending the wire frame 32 into an arc shape. As described above, in the lure 500 according to the fifth modification example, the mounting portion 21D is shared with the exposed portion 21C. The mounting portion 21D may be partially or entirely accommodated in the hollow portion 11.

[0096] The wire frame 32 is bent upward at the rear side of the mounting portion 21D (the rear end side of the hollow portion 11) and guided along the rear wall of the hollow portion 11 to the intermediate wall 10A. Further, after the wire frame 32 is bent forward along the intermediate wall 10A, it is bent in a reverse U shape. As a result, a holding portion 21B is formed on the wire frame 32. That is, the holding portion 21B is formed on the other end side opposite to the line eye 2. As shown in FIG. 11(b), the holding portion 21B is guided to the needle tip accommodating portion 15 through the second communication hole 14 and locked to the upper surface of the intermediate wall 10A. The wire frame 32 can be formed in various shapes and sizes, such as an integrally formed one or one formed by combining a plurality of wire rods.

[0097] The above is the configuration of the lure 500 according to the fifth modification of the present invention. Next, a lure 600 according to the sixth modification of the present invention, in which the needle tip accommodating portion 15 is removed and the second communication hole 14 is formed, will be described in detail below. Note that the same components as those in the above-described embodiments and the first to fifth modifications are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0098] ≪Sixth Modification≫ As shown in FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b), the lure 600 according to the sixth modification includes a hollow portion 11 and is configured not to include the needle tip accommodating portion 15. Further, a second communication hole 14 (which may also be a first communication hole 13) communicating with the hollow portion 11 is formed in the lure 600.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 12(a), a third plate 25A (similar to the third plate 25 of the second modification except that the vertical length of the holding portion 21B is different) is used as the member 20 to be attached to the lure 600. Similar to the second modification, the third plate 25A is accommodated in the hollow portion 11, and the holding portion 21B is drawn out to the outside of the main body portion 10 through the second communication hole 14. Further, after the holding portion 21B is drawn out to the outside of the main body portion 10, it is locked to the back of the main body portion 10. Thereby, the member 20 to be attached is attached to the lure 600.

[0100] Next, the lure 600 when the offset hook 52 is attached instead of the member 20 to be attached will be described.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 12(b), since the lure 600 does not include the needle tip accommodating portion 15, the needle tip of the offset hook 52 penetrates the upper wall 10B of the hollow portion 11 through the hollow portion 11 and is guided to the outside of the main body portion 10. In this way, if the needle tip is intentionally exposed, the hooking performance is improved, and if the needle tip is stabbed shallowly into the body and hidden, the anti-rooting effect can be obtained. Note that the line eye hole 12 may be either pre-formed or formed when the hook 50 or the member 20 to be attached is attached.

[0102] The above is the configuration of the lure 600 according to the sixth modification of the present invention. Next, a lure 700 according to the seventh modification of the present invention, in which the needle tip housing portion 15 and the hollow portion 11 are removed and the first communication hole 13 is formed, will be described in detail below. Note that the same components as those in the above-described embodiments and the first to sixth modifications are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0103] <<Seventh Modification>> As shown in FIGS. 13(a) and 13(b), the lure 700 according to the seventh modification includes the first communication hole 13. Note that the first communication hole 13 may be replaced with a second communication hole 14, or may include the second communication hole 14 in addition. The first communication hole 13 in the lure 700 is configured to communicate the upper and lower portions of the main body portion 10 by penetrating through the lower portion (abdomen) and the upper portion (back) of the main body portion 10.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 13(a), a wire frame 32A (similar to the wire frame 32 except that a part of the bending of the holding portion 21B is omitted) is used as the member 20 to be attached to the lure 700. The wire frame 32A has the holding portion 21B inserted into the first communication hole 13 and drawn out to the outside of the main body portion 10 through the first communication hole 13. After the holding portion 21B is drawn out to the outside of the main body portion 10, it is locked to the back of the main body portion 10. Thereby, the wire frame 32A as the member 20 to be attached is attached to the lure 700.

[0105] Next, the lure 600 when an offset hook 52 is attached instead of the member 20 (wire frame 32A) to be attached will be described.

[0106] As shown in Fig. 13(b), since the lure 700 does not have the hollow portion 11 and the needle tip accommodating portion 15, the needle tip of the offset hook 52 penetrates the main body portion 10 and is guided to the outside of the main body portion 10. In this way, if the needle tip is intentionally exposed, the hooking performance is improved, and if the needle tip is stabbed shallowly into the body and hidden, the anti-rooting effect can be obtained. Note that in the lure 700 according to the seventh modification, the first communication hole 13 formed in the main body portion 10 is not used. Also, the line eye hole 12 may be either pre-formed or formed when the hook 50 or the member 20 to be attached is attached.

[0107] The above is the configuration according to an embodiment of the lures 1, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 according to the present invention (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as lure 1). Next, the operation and effects of the lure 1 according to the above-described embodiment and the first to seventh modifications will be described below.

[0108] (a) The lure 1 of the above-described embodiment is a lure 1 that swims near the water surface or in water, and includes a main body portion 10 formed to extend from one end side in the axial direction to the other end side, and a hollow portion 11 that opens downward from the main body portion 10 and expands inside at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the main body portion 10.

[0109] Since the lure 1 of the above-described present embodiment includes the hollow portion 11 in the main body portion 10, for example, when using the hook 50 called the offset hook 52, at least a part (for example, the curved portion) of the hook 50 can be accommodated in the hollow portion 11. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can reduce damage to the main body portion 10 caused by the hook 50.

[0110] In addition, since at least a part of the hook 50 can be accommodated in the hollow portion 11 of the lure 1 of the present embodiment, there is no need to provide an unnecessary space for accommodating the hook 50. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can suppress a decrease in the strength of the main body portion 10, and it is expected that the accommodation space of the hollow portion 11 can be utilized for accommodating various functional members 40 (for example, the weight 42).

[0111] (b) The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above is disposed above the hollow portion 11, opens upward of the main body portion 10, and is characterized by including a needle tip accommodating portion 15 that can accommodate the needle tip of the hook 50 inserted through the hollow portion 11 so as not to protrude from the main body portion 10.

[0112] The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above is disposed above the hollow portion 11 and includes a needle tip accommodating portion 15 that opens upward of the main body portion 10. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can accommodate the needle tip of the hook 50 inserted through the hollow portion 11 in the needle tip accommodating portion 15. That is, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can accommodate at least a part of the hook 50 in the hollow portion 11 and the needle tip of the hook 50 in the needle tip accommodating portion 15. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment does not need to provide an opening for accommodating the hook 50 (for example, the shaft portion of the hook 50 called the shank and the curved portion called the bend) separately from the hollow portion 11, and thus the lure 1 can be miniaturized.

[0113] (c) The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above is characterized in that a first communication hole 13 that communicates the hollow portion 11 and the needle tip accommodating portion 15 is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction, and the needle tip of the hook 50 can be inserted through the first communication hole 13.

[0114] By configuring the above-mentioned lure 1 as described in (c) above, the tip of the hook 50 can be reliably accommodated in the tip accommodating portion 15 through the hollow portion 11 and the first communication hole 13. Further, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, since the first communication hole 13 for communicating the hollow portion 11 and the tip accommodating portion 15 in advance is formed, the hook 50 can be accommodated in the hollow portion 11 and the tip accommodating portion 15 without damaging the main body portion 10 with the tip of the needle.

[0115] (d) The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above is characterized in that the first communication hole 13 is formed by the insertion of the tip of the hook 50.

[0116] In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, since the first communication hole 13 through which the tip of the hook 50 passes is formed by the insertion of the tip, at least a part of the hook 50 is held (supported) by the main body portion 10. Therefore, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the hook 50 from shaking with respect to the main body portion 10, so that the swimming of the lure 1 is stabilized and the fishing effect is prevented from being impaired. Further, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, since it is possible to suppress the hook 50 from shaking with respect to the main body portion 10, when the lure 1 is preyed on by a fish, the hooking can be stabilized and the fish can be more reliably caught.

[0117] (e) The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above has a line eye hole 12 that opens on the front end side of the main body portion 10, and is characterized in that the line eye hole 12 communicates with the hollow portion 11.

[0118] In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, since the line eye hole 12 that communicates with the hollow portion 11 is formed in advance, for example, by passing the line eye 2 of the hook 50 through the line eye hole 12, the hook 50 can be held (supported) by the main body portion 10. Thereby, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the separation between the hook 50 and the lure 1 (main body portion 10). Further, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the lure 1 from being damaged or falling off due to the separation between the hook 50 and the lure 1 (main body portion 10).

[0119] (f) The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above is detachable from the hollow portion 11, and includes a mounted member 20 at least a part of which can be accommodated in the hollow portion 11, and a line eye hole 12 that opens on the front end side of the main body portion 10 and communicates with the hollow portion 11. The mounted member 20 includes a line eye 2 exposed to the outside of the main body portion 10 through the line eye hole 12, a holding portion 21B that can be held by the main body portion 10 when accommodated in the hollow portion 11, and a mounting portion 21D located on the lower end side of the mounted member 20.

[0120] By configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment as described in (f) above, the mounted member 20 having the mounting portion 21D can be accommodated in the hollow portion 11. Here, since the line eye 2 of the mounted member 20 is exposed to the outside of the main body portion 10 through the line eye hole 12 and the holding portion 21B is held by the main body portion 10, the dropping from the hollow portion 11 is suppressed. Further, the mounted member 20 is provided with the mounting portion 21D on the lower end side of the main body portion 10. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can mount various functional members 40 via the mounting portion 21D. Thereby, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can enhance the fish attracting effect or swim stably. Here, it is preferable to appropriately apply a hologram or a decoration that can be expected to have a fish attracting effect to the mounted member 20 (particularly the mounting portion 21D). Thereby, a fish attracting effect on fish can be expected. Here, the mounting portion 21D may be either at least partially accommodated in the hollow portion 11 or entirely exposed from the hollow portion 11.

[0121] In addition, by configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment as described in (f) above, the member to be attached 20 or the hook 50 can be selectively used. Therefore, damage to the main body 10 can be suppressed, and various functions can be provided. Further, since the member to be attached 20 and the hook 50 can be detachably separated from the main body 10 in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, only the damaged part (for example, the main body 10, the member to be attached 20, the hook 50) can be replaced. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can reduce the cost at the time of replacement and reduce waste, thereby reducing the environmental load.

[0122] (g) In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, the first communication hole 13 communicating with the hollow portion 11 is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction, and the tip of the hook 50 can be inserted through the first communication hole 13. The holding portion 21B is characterized in that it is locked to the wall surface of the main body portion 10 through the first communication hole 13.

[0123] By configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above as in (g), the first communication hole 13 can be shared for the tip of the hook 50 and for holding the member to be attached 20. Therefore, according to the lure 1 of the present embodiment, a reduction in manufacturing cost can be expected.

[0124] (h) In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, the second communication hole 14 communicating with the hollow portion 11 is formed in a direction intersecting the axial direction, and the holding portion 21B is characterized in that it is locked to the wall surface of the main body portion 10 through the second communication hole 14.

[0125] By configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above as in (f), for example, the member to be attached 20 can be held (for example, locked) to the main body portion 10 of the lure 1 without damaging the first communication hole 13 opened for the passage of the tip. Thereby, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can selectively use the member to be attached 20 and use only the hook 50, so that the versatility of the lure 1 can be improved.

[0126] (i) In the lure 1 of the above-described present embodiment, the holding portion 21B is characterized in that it is held by the main body portion 10 by piercing the main body portion 10.

[0127] By configuring the lure 1 of the above-described present embodiment as in (i) above, the member 20 to be attached can be reliably held by the main body portion 10 via the holding portion 21B. Thereby, the lure 1 of the present embodiment is held by the main body portion 10 at at least two locations, namely, the holding in the line eye hole 12 of the line eye 2 and the holding in the main body portion 10 via the holding portion 21B. Therefore, the detachment of the member 20 to be attached from the main body portion 10 can be surely suppressed.

[0128] (j) In the lure 1 of the above-described present embodiment, the member 20 to be attached is characterized in that it is formed of a plate along the shape of the hollow portion 11 or a wire frame 32 having a guide portion along at least the rear end wall of the hollow portion 11.

[0129] By configuring the lure 1 of the above-described present embodiment as in (j) above, the plate and the wire frame 32 can be selectively used according to the usage environment of the lure 1, the type of target fish, etc. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can flexibly respond according to various usage environments and can improve versatility. Here, the plate may be formed, for example, in a plate shape or the like according to the shape of the hollow portion 11. Also, the wire frame 32 may be formed, for example, by bending a wire material such as a wire along the outer shape of the hollow portion 11.

[0130] (k) The member 20 to be attached is characterized in that it includes an exposed portion 21C located on the lower end side of the member 20 to be attached and protruding from the lower end side of the main body portion 10, and a mounting portion 21D is provided on the exposed portion 21C.

[0131] As described above, the lure 1 of the present embodiment has an exposed portion 21C where the member 20 to be attached protrudes from the lower end side of the main body portion 10, and a mounting portion 21D is provided on the exposed portion 21C. Therefore, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, since the mounting portion 21D is provided on the exposed portion 21C, various functional members 40 can be easily attached to and detached from the mounting portion 21D. As a result, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can enhance the fish attracting effect and swim stably. Here, it is preferable to appropriately apply a hologram or perform a decoration that can be expected to have a fish attracting effect to the member 20 to be attached (particularly the exposed portion 21C). Thereby, a fish attracting effect on fish can be expected. Further, in the lure 1 of the present embodiment, since the exposed portion 21C is provided so as to protrude from the lower end side of the main body portion 10, the exposed portion 21C can, for example, serve as a fin (ventral fin) and stabilize swimming.

[0132] (l) In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, the mounting portion 21D is characterized in that it can mount at least one of an anti-hooking guard 41, a hook 50, a weight 42, a blade 43, rubber, and a worm.

[0133] By configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment as described in (l) above, the functionality of the lure 1, such as an improvement in the fishing effect, stabilization of the swimming posture of the lure 1, and improvement in the obstacle avoidance performance, can be improved.

[0134] (m) In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, the member 20 to be attached is characterized in that it includes a mounting portion 30 to which at least one of a buoyancy body 46, a weight 42, and a magnet 47 can be detachably or fixedly attached.

[0135] The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above can be used by attaching, for example, a buoyancy body 46 (also referred to as a float 46) to the attachment portion 30 of the member 20 to be attached, so that the lure 1 floats near the water surface, for example. Therefore, it can be expected that the lure 1 of the present embodiment will achieve an effective fishing result for fish that prey on bait near the surface of the water. Further, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can be submerged in water by attaching, for example, a weight 42 to the attachment portion 30 of the member 20 to be attached. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can achieve an effective fishing result for fish in water or near the bottom. Further, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can adsorb and hold, for example, the hook 50 to the member 20 to be attached by magnetic force by attaching a magnet 47 to the attachment portion 30 of the member 20 to be attached. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can hold, for example, the tips of the double hook 54 and the treble hook 55 held on the mounting portion 21D of the member 20 to be attached in a predetermined direction by magnetic force. Thereby, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can, for example, suppress the snagging of the hook 50 and improve the hookability for fish that have preyed on the lure 1.

[0136] (n) In the lure 1 of the present embodiment described above, the hook 50 has a line eye 2, and the tip thereof is pierced through the hollow portion 11 from above the front portion of the main body portion 10 and is accommodated in the tip accommodating portion 15 through the hollow portion 11, and the line eye 2 is locked above the front portion of the main body portion 10.

[0137] By configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment as described above in (n), even a hook 50 with a long shank (the portion from the line eye 2 to the curve of the hook 50) called a straight hook 51 can be attached to the main body 10, and the needle tip can be accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion 15. Thereby, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can utilize various hooks 50 regardless of the type of the hook 50, improving versatility. Further, by configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment as described above in (n), at least a part of the hook 50 (for example, the shank portion) is supported by the main body 10, so that the hook 50 can be prevented from shifting and moving from the main body 10.

[0138] (o) The lure 1 of the present embodiment described above has a line eye hole 12 that opens on the front end side of the main body 10 and communicates with the hollow portion 11. The hook 50 has a line eye 2 and a weight 53A provided between the line eye 2 and the needle tip. The line eye 2 is inserted through the line eye hole 12, the weight 53A is located outside the opening end of the hollow portion 11, and the needle tip is accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion 15 via the hollow portion 11.

[0139] By configuring the lure 1 of the present embodiment as described above in (o), even a hook 50 having a weight 53A can be attached to the main body 10 without interfering with the main body 10, and the needle tip of the hook 50 can be accommodated in the needle tip accommodating portion 15. Thereby, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can hook the fish that has preyed on the lure 1 while suppressing snagging. Further, since the weight 53A can be positioned outside the opening end of the hollow portion 11 (the lower side of the main body 10) of the lure 1 of the present embodiment, the posture of the lure 1 is stabilized. Therefore, the lure 1 of the present embodiment can stabilize its original swimming posture and does not impair the fishing effect.

[0140] (p) The mounted member 20 of the above-described embodiment is a mounted member 20 of the lure 1 including a main body portion 10 formed to extend from one end side in the axial direction to the other end side, and includes a line eye 2, a holding portion 21B that can be detachably held by the main body portion 10, and a mounting portion 21D for mounting the functional member 40.

[0141] Since the mounted member 20 of the present embodiment described above includes the holding portion 21B that can be detachably held by the main body portion 10 of the lure 1, it can be mounted on the main body portion 10 of the lure 1 instead of the hook 50. Further, since the mounted member 20 of the present embodiment includes the mounting portion 21D, functional members 40 such as an anti-hanging guard 41, a hook 50, a weight 42, a blade 43, a rubber, and a worm that enhance the fishing effect or change the swimming state can be mounted on the lure 1 by retrofitting. Therefore, the mounted member 20 of the present invention can selectively mount various functions on one lure 1, so that the cost performance of the lure 1 can be improved. Here, the functional member 40 may be mounted as necessary, or it may not be mounted. Further, when the functional member 40 is mounted on the mounting portion 21D, the functional member 40 may be mounted in one or a plurality of combinations.

[0142] (q) The lure 700 of the present embodiment described above is a lure 700 that swims near the water surface or in the water in the above (p), and includes a main body portion 10 formed to extend from one end side in the axial direction to the other end side, and at least one first communication hole 13 that communicates the upper side and the lower side of the main body portion 10 and through which the holding portion 21B of the mounted member 20 can be inserted, and it is preferable that the holding portion 21B is held on the outer surface of the main body portion 10.

[0143] By configuring the lure 700 of the present embodiment as described in (q) above, the member to be attached 20 and the hook 50 such as the offset hook 52 can be selectively attached to the main body 10. Therefore, various functions can be added to one lure 700. As a result, the lure 700 of the present embodiment can improve cost performance.
