Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lure used in fishing.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, lures having an appearance pattern similar to that of an actual fish have been known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a lure in which a hologram film is attached to the surface of a main body imitating the form of a fish. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a lure in which a decorative layer forming a scale pattern is formed on the surface of a main body (base material) by inkjet printing.

[0003] Thus, by forming the surface pattern of the lure to be the same as that of an actual fish, the degree of appeal to the fish to be fished can be enhanced, and an improvement in fishing results can be expected. Usually, such lures often have the same pattern on the front and back surfaces, but there are also lures in which the pattern on the front and back surfaces is changed (asymmetrical pattern) to further improve the appeal to fish.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] As described above, when a lure with different patterns on the front and back surfaces is packaged and sold at a store, since the pattern on the side that is not exposed is not visible, it is inconvenient for the purchaser, such as taking the lure out of the package. In this case, there are some that have an opening in the backing sheet of the package, but it is troublesome for the purchaser to turn the package over with the product in hand, and it is difficult to accurately grasp the pattern seen through the opening. Furthermore, when the purchased lure is stored in a lure case or the like, the pattern on the side that is not exposed may not be visible, and it may not be possible to instantly determine what the pattern on the back surface is.

[0006] The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a lure in which, in a lure having different patterns on one surface and the other surface, it is possible to instantly grasp the pattern on the other surface.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the lure according to the present invention has a main body in which the pattern on one surface is different from the pattern on the other surface, and the pattern on the other surface is provided on a part of the pattern on one surface.

[0008] The lure having the above-described configuration can instantly grasp the pattern on the side that is not exposed in the packaged state or when stored in a lure case or the like, so that operations such as picking up and turning over the lure are not required.

Effects of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, in a lure having different patterns on one surface and the other surface, a lure that can instantly grasp the pattern on the other surface can be obtained.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the lure according to the present invention will be described.

[0012] FIGS. 1 and 2 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. The lure 1 according to this embodiment is called a metal jig, and its main body 2 is made of a metal such as tungsten and is formed in the shape of a small fish. Eyes 3a and 3b are provided on the front side and the rear side of the main body 2. A fishing line from the reel side is fastened to the eye 3a on the front side, and a hook (fishhook) is fastened to the eye 3b on the rear side. Note that a hook may be separately fastened to the eye 3a on the front side.

[0013] On one surface (the surface shown in FIG. 1 is regarded as one surface; for convenience, also referred to as the front surface) 2A and the other surface (the surface shown in FIG. 2 is regarded as the other surface; for convenience, also referred to as the back surface) 2B of the main body 2, different patterns 5a and 5b are provided, and they are asymmetric patterns. The pattern of this embodiment has an appearance similar to the scales of a small fish. This is constituted by a hologram, and by changing the patterns on both sides, the appeal to fish is improved. Also, similar to actual fish, eye patterns 5c are provided on both sides.

[0014] By constituting the pattern with a hologram, it is possible to obtain a brilliance similar to that of the scales of an actual small fish, improve the appeal to fish, and improve the fishing result. Note that the above-described pattern can be printed on the main body 2, a sticker having such a pattern can be pasted, or formed by hot stamping or the like. The form of such different patterns on both sides and the method of providing the patterns are not limited, and it is possible to provide them in various ways other than the above-described methods.

[0015] And, as shown in FIG. 1, a part of the pattern 5a on the front surface 2A is provided with a pattern 5b on the back surface 2B. That is, just by visually recognizing the front surface 2A, it is possible to instantaneously grasp the pattern provided on the back surface 2B.

[0016] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the product 10 in which the lure 1 is placed and fixed on the mount 11 and housed in the transparent packaging bag 12 and packaged is hung and sold at the storefront, the user can grasp the pattern 5b on the back surface 2B while visually recognizing the pattern 5a on the front surface 2A, so there is no need to pick up the product 10 and look at it from the back side, or to take out the lure 1 from the packaging bag 12. Also, after purchase, even when the lure is placed in a lure case or the like, the pattern on the back surface can be grasped, so there is no need to pinch the lure and check the back surface.

[0017] Regarding the method of providing the above-described pattern 5b on the back surface, there is no particular limitation, but it may be attached as a one-point seal (sticker) to the front surface 2A, or may be formed by printing, hot stamping, etc., and it is preferably provided so as not to be easily peeled off. In this case, regarding the position where the pattern 5b on the back surface is provided, there is no particular limitation, but as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferably provided in a dot shape in the central region of the main body 2. That is, since fish that use small fish as bait tend to bite at parts with changes, by providing dots of the same size as the eye pattern 5c in the central region, it is possible to achieve a secondary effect of improving the biting of the fish (in actual tests, results showing an improvement in fishing results have been obtained).

[0018] Note that the size, shape, and arrangement method of the pattern 5b on the back surface are not particularly limited, and for example, with the pattern 5a as the background, the pattern 5b can be appropriately deformed such as being divided vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, or being scattered. However, if the area of the pattern 5b on the back surface is too large, there is a strong tendency for both sides to have the same pattern (not an asymmetric pattern), and the appeal to fish will decrease, so it is preferably 60% or less of the area of the front surface.

[0019] Furthermore, regarding the formation of the above-described pattern on the back surface, it is preferable to provide the patterns of the opposite surfaces on both side surfaces of the main body 2. In this way, by providing the patterns of the opposite surfaces on both surfaces, no matter what state the lure is in, the pattern of the surface that is not exposed can be grasped, and since a one-point pattern is provided on both surfaces, it becomes possible to further improve the appeal to fish.

[0020] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be variously modified. The lure according to the present invention only needs to have both surfaces formed with an asymmetric pattern, and can also be applied to lures other than metal jigs. Also, the shape of the main body 2, the position where the eyes are provided, etc. can be appropriately modified. Furthermore, regarding the patterns provided on both surfaces, various forms other than holograms can be applied.
