Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a lure provided with a buzz blade rotatably attached to a shaft portion.

Background Art

[0002] Lure fishing using artificial lures (lures) is very popular among fishing enthusiasts and is actively carried out across a wide range of generations. Various types of lures are used depending on the fish to be targeted, the location, the situation, etc. Among them, there is a lure that is used near the water surface and attracts fish by the rotating sound of a buzz blade that rotates under the influence of water flow resistance (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes a lure provided with a buzz blade rotatably shaft-mounted on an upper arm and a blade swingably connected to the rear end portion of a lower arm in the left-right and front-rear directions. When the buzz blade rotates while the blade swings, the buzz blade and the blade are configured to come into contact with each other to generate a contact sound.

[0004] According to the lure described in Patent Document 1, both the rotating sound caused by the rotation of the buzz blade and the contact sound caused by the contact between the buzz blade and the blade can be generated. Therefore, due to the synergistic effect of the rotating sound and the contact sound, an effective fish-attracting sound that can strongly attract the interest of fish can be emitted, thereby improving the fishing effect.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, in the lure described in Patent Document 1, since it is configured to generate a contact sound when the swinging blade contacts the rotating buzz blade, the rotation of the buzz blade is hindered by the contact with the blade, and there is a problem that the effect of the rotation sound caused by the rotation of the buzz blade is reduced.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a lure that can effectively generate both a rotation sound and a contact sound.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The characteristic configuration of the lure according to the present invention for solving the above problems is a shaft portion, a pair of buzz blades rotatably attached to the shaft portion, and is provided with the pair of buzz blades can abut and separate around the axis of the shaft portion.

[0009] According to the lure of this configuration, even if a pair of buzz blades come into contact with each other around the axis of the shaft portion, since the pair of buzz blades rotate together around the axis of the shaft portion, the rotation of the entire pair of buzz blades is not hindered. Therefore, a rotation sound can be effectively generated by the rotation of the pair of buzz blades. Here, when performing an operation of winding the reel (reeling) so as to return the cast lure, the magnitude and speed of the pulling force on the lure change, or turbulence occurs around the buzz blade due to the shape of the buzz blade that receives the water flow generated relatively with respect to the lure, or the flow of water or wind in a river, lake, etc. where the target fish inhabit changes. For this reason, the magnitude and direction of the force around the axis of the shaft portion acting on the pair of buzz blades change moment by moment. As a result, the pair of buzz blades repeatedly come into contact with and separate from the axis of the shaft portion. By repeatedly contacting and separating the pair of buzz blades in this way, a contact sound can be effectively generated. Thus, due to the synergistic effect of the rotation sound and the contact sound caused by the pair of buzz blades repeatedly coming into contact with and separating from each other while the entire pair of buzz blades rotates, an effective fish attracting sound that can strongly attract the interest of fish is produced, and thereby the fishing effect can be improved.

[0010] In the lure according to the present invention, the pair of buzz blades are a pair of plate-like portions rotatably arranged around the axis of the shaft portion so as to face each other with the shaft portion interposed therebetween, and a pair of rotating blade portions continuously provided on the pair of plate-like portions so as to rotate around the axis of the shaft portion by receiving the water flow in the axial direction of the shaft portion. It is preferable to have.

[0011] According to the lure of this configuration, the pair of buzz blades has a pair of plate-like portions and a pair of rotary blade portions. The pair of plate-like portions are rotatably arranged around the axis of the shaft portion so as to face each other with the shaft portion interposed therebetween. Thereby, the other plate-like portion can be brought into contact with or separated from one plate-like portion. Even when the other plate-like portion contacts one plate-like portion, since both the one plate-like portion and the other plate-like portion rotate around the axis of the shaft portion, the rotation of the entire pair of buzz blades is not hindered. The pair of rotary blade portions are connected to the pair of plate-like portions so as to rotate around the axis of the shaft portion by receiving the water flow in the axial direction of the shaft portion. When the pair of rotary blade portions receive the water flow in the axial direction of the shaft portion, the pair of plate-like portions rotate around the axis of the shaft portion together with the pair of rotary blade portions, and the entire pair of buzz blades rotates. Thus, while effectively generating a rotation sound by the rotation of the entire pair of buzz blades, a contact sound can be generated by the contact and separation of the pair of plate-like portions.

[0012] In the lure according to the present invention, It is preferable to further include floating means for floating to the water surface.

[0013] According to the lure of this configuration, since it is floated to the water surface by the floating means, the pair of buzz blades will be arranged near the water surface, and the lure can be attracted while rotating the pair of buzz blades near the water surface by reeling. Thereby, it is possible to raise splashes near the water surface and make the lure swim, and in addition to the synergistic effect of the rotation sound and the contact sound, the effect of the splash sound can be combined to generate a more effective fish attracting sound.

[0014] In the lure according to the present invention, It is preferable that the floating means includes a floating blade disposed on one end side of the shaft portion so as to be tiltable upward.

[0015] According to the lure of this configuration, when the floating blade tilts upward on one end side of the shaft portion, the water flow generated relatively with respect to the lure accompanying reeling is received on the lower surface side of the floating blade, and the one end side of the shaft portion can be directed upward, and it can be surely floated to the water surface.

[0016] In the lure according to the present invention, It is preferable to further include a weight disposed on the other end side of the shaft portion.

[0017] According to the lure of this configuration, since a weight is disposed on the other end side of the shaft portion, the action of continuing to fly due to inertia during casting can be increased, and it can be flown farther. In addition, one end side of the shaft portion is floated to the water surface by the floating blade, and the other end side of the shaft portion is submerged in the water by the weight to balance, so that a pair of buzz blades arranged between one end side and the other end side of the shaft portion can be surely arranged near the water surface. Thereby, the lure can be stably swam while splashing water near the water surface.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the configurations described in the embodiments and drawings described below.

[0020] In this specification, when explaining the positional relationship of each part constituting the lure of the present invention, the direction perpendicular to the water surface in the actual use state of the lure is defined as the vertical direction, the direction along the traveling direction of the lure is defined as the front-rear direction, and the direction perpendicular to the plane including the vertical direction and the front-rear direction is defined as the left-right direction. Also, the side of the lure that is relatively closer to the water surface or above the water surface is referred to as the "upper side" or "above", the underwater side far from the water surface is referred to as the "lower side" or "below", the side relatively closer to the front in the front-rear direction is referred to as the "front", and the side closer to the rear is referred to as the "rear".

[0021] <Overall configuration of the lure> FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of a lure 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1(a) is a side view showing the whole lure 1, and FIG. 1(b) is an enlarged view of the main part as viewed in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1(a). As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the lure 1 includes a rod-shaped body 3, a pair of buzz blades 5, a weight 7, and a fishing hook 9. Among these, the pair of buzz blades 5 is a characteristic member in the present invention.

[0022] <Rod-shaped body> The rod-shaped body 3 is made of a high-tensile wire material such as a stainless steel wire, for example. The rod-shaped body 3 has an annular portion 11 formed in an annular shape disposed on the front end side, a shaft portion 13 integrally connected to the annular portion 11 and extending in the front-rear direction, an arm portion 15 extending obliquely downward rearward at an obtuse angle with respect to the shaft portion 13, and a support portion 17 extending rearward at an obtuse angle with respect to the arm portion 15. Here, the shaft portion 13 and the arm portion 15 are integrally connected via a first bending portion 19, and the arm portion 15 and the support portion 17 are integrally connected via a second bending portion 21.

[0023] <Buzz blade> A pair of buzz blades 5 are attached to the shaft portion 13 such that the rotational regions of the pair around the axis of the rod-shaped body 3 substantially completely overlap each other. A stopper 23 and a first bead 25 are respectively interposed between the annular portion 11 of the rod-shaped body 3 and the pair of buzz blades 5. The stopper 23 is fixed to the annular portion 11, and stops the forward movement of the pair of buzz blades 5 along the shaft portion 13 via the first bead 25 to regulate the relative position of the pair of buzz blades 5 with respect to the annular portion 11. A second bead 27 is interposed between the pair of buzz blades 5 and the first bent portion 19 of the rod-shaped body 3. The first bead 25 and the second bead 27 are rotatably attached to the shaft portion 13 around the axis of the shaft portion 13, and function as bearings to enable the pair of buzz blades 5 to rotate smoothly without interfering with the stopper 23 and the first bent portion 19.

[0024] FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a pair of buzz blades 5. FIGS. 2(a) to (f) are six views of a non-contact (separated) state of a pair of buzz blades 5. FIG. 2(a) is a front view, FIG. 2(b) is a rear view, FIG. 2(c) is a right side view, FIG. 2(d) is a left side view, FIG. 2(e) is a plan view, and FIG. 2(f) is a bottom view. FIG. 2(g) is a perspective view of a non-contact (separated) state of a pair of buzz blades 5. FIG. 2(h) is a front view of a first contact state in which the upper parts of the pair of buzz blades 5 are in contact with each other in the figure of the pair of buzz blades 5. FIG. 2(i) is a front view of a second contact state in which the lower parts of the pair of buzz blades 5 are in contact with each other in the figure of the pair of buzz blades 5. In FIGS. 2(a) to (i), in order to easily distinguish between the pair of buzz blades 5 and the shaft portion 13, the pair of buzz blades 5 are drawn with solid lines and the shaft portion 13 is drawn with dotted lines.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the pair of buz blades 5 has a pair of plate-like portions 31 arranged to face each other with the shaft portion 13 interposed therebetween. As shown in FIGS. 2(c) and 2(d), each of the pair of plate-like portions 31 is formed in a substantially rhomboid shape having diagonals in the axial direction of the shaft portion 13 and in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 2(a) to 2(d), bearing pieces 33 are integrally connected to both front and rear end portions of each plate-like portion 31 along the axial direction of the shaft portion 13 so as to extend inwardly of the pair of buz blades 5 orthogonally to the shaft portion 13. A shaft insertion hole 35 through which the shaft portion 13 can be inserted is formed in the bearing piece 33.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 2(e) to 2(g), in the pair of buz blades 5, the bearing pieces 33 respectively connected to the front end portions and the rear end portions of each plate-like portion 31 are arranged so as to be alternately overlapped in the axial direction of the shaft portion 13 at the front end portion and the rear end portion, and the shaft portion 13 is inserted into the shaft insertion hole 35 provided in each bearing piece 33, whereby the pair of buz blades 5 is rotatably attached to the shaft portion 13.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the pair of buz blades 5 further has a pair of rotating blade portions 37 arranged in a point-symmetrical positional relationship about the shaft portion 13. As shown in FIGS. 2(c) and 2(d), the pair of rotating blade portions 37 is integrally connected to the pair of plate-like portions 31 in a state where a predetermined angle of attack is given so as to rotate about the axis of the shaft portion 13 by receiving the water flow in the axial direction of the shaft portion 13. Note that the plate-like portion 31 and the rotating blade portion 37 may be formed by bending a single plate, or may be formed by adhering or welding separate members.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) to 2(g), the pair of buz blades 5 has a pair of plate-like portions 31 arranged to face each other with the shaft portion 13 interposed therebetween. Thereby, the pair of buz blades 5 can contact and separate by the swinging around the axis of the shaft portion 13.

[0029] That is, as shown in FIGS. 2(h) and 2(i), the swinging of the shaft portion 13 of the buz blade 5 on one side (the left side in the figure) and the buz blade 5 on the other side (the right side in the figure) around the axis is restricted to a range of a predetermined swing angle by the opposing buz blades 5. As a result, the pair of buz blades 5 can swing relative to each other around the axis of the shaft portion 13 within a range of a predetermined swing angle. Therefore, the pair of buz blades 5 can be switched between three states: a state of separating around the axis of the shaft portion 13 as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), a first contact state where the upper parts in the figure are in contact as shown in FIG. 2(h), and a second contact state where the lower parts in the figure are in contact as shown in FIG. 2(i).

[0030] As the above-mentioned buz blade 5, it is preferable to use a processed metal plate such as aluminum, magnesium, duralumin, copper, stainless steel, iron, brass, etc. from the viewpoints of strength, light reflection, high-pitched sound generation, etc.

[0031] <Weight> As shown in FIG. 1(a), the weight 7 is integrally fixed to the support portion 17 of the rod-like body 3 together with the fishing hook 9. In the lure 1 of the present embodiment, since it can be surely floated on the water surface by the floating blade 41 described later, a weight 7 having a weight larger than that of the weight used in a normal buzz bait lure can be used. Thereby, the action of continuing to fly due to inertia during casting can be further increased, and the lure 1 can be flown farther.

[0032] A rubber skirt 39 extending rearward to cover the fishing hook 9 is attached to the boundary portion between the weight 7 and the fishing hook 9, which can hide the fishing hook 9 so as not to be noticed by the target fish, and is useful for making the target fish interested by moving irregularly during reeling and attracting it.

[0033] <Floating means (floating blade)> As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the lure 1 of the present embodiment further includes a floating means 40 for floating the lure 1 on the water surface. The floating means 40 includes a floating blade 41 and an annular split ring (hereinafter referred to as "blade connecting ring") 43. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the floating blade 41 is made of a plate material in a tongue shape in plan view, is arranged on one end (front end) side of the shaft portion 13, and is connected to the annular portion 11 of the rod-like body 3 via the blade connecting ring 43. Here, the annular portion 11 is formed in an annular shape along the horizontal plane, and the blade connecting ring 43 is formed in an annular shape along the vertical plane. Therefore, the floating blade 41 is movable along the vertical plane under the guidance of the blade connecting ring 43, and is disposed so as to be tiltable upward at one end side of the shaft portion 13 as shown by the solid line and the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1(a).

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), an annular split ring (hereinafter referred to as "fishing line connecting ring") 45 is attached to a substantially central portion of the floating blade 41 so as to pass through two insertion holes arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction.

[0035] In the floating blade 41, when a fishing line is directly tied to the fishing line connecting ring 45 or the fishing line is connected via a snap (not shown), and a tensile force is applied to the fishing line by reeling in such a state that the fishing line forms an acute angle with the water surface of a river, a lake, etc. where the target fish inhabits, the floating blade 41 tilts upward along the blade connecting ring 43 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1(a).

[0036] As the floating blade 41, it is preferable to use a metal plate processed in the same manner as the buzz blade 5 from the viewpoints of strength, light reflection, etc.

[0037] <Description of the usage state of the lure> FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the lure 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 3(a) is a diagram showing the state of the lure 1 just before hitting the water after being cast. FIGS. 3(b) and (c) are diagrams showing the state of the lure 1 floating by reeling. FIGS. 3(d) and (e) are diagrams showing the state of the lure 1 swimming near the water surface by reeling.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 3(a), in a river, lake, etc. where the target fish inhabit, the lure 1 is cast aiming at a targeted point. Since the lure 1 employs a relatively heavy weight 7, the lure 1 can be cast to a relatively distant point.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3(b), after the lure 1 hits the water surface, it gradually sinks into the water due to the action of the weight 7. When the lure 1 is pulled toward the angler by reeling, a tensile force acts on the floating blade 41 via the fishing line 50 and the fishing line connecting ring 45. Since the tensile force at this time acts in a direction forming an acute angle with the water surface, as shown in the partial enlarged view of FIG. 3(b), the floating blade 41 tilts upward along the blade connecting ring 43. As a result, the water flow relatively generated with respect to the lure 1 along with reeling is received on the lower surface side of the floating blade 41, and the front end side of the shaft portion 13 can be directed upward to make the lure 1 in a forward diagonally upward posture, and it can be surely floated to the water surface. The fishing line 50 is directly tied to the portion protruding on the lower surface side of the floating blade 41 in the fishing line connecting ring 45 or is connected via a snap (not shown). By doing so, it is possible to prevent the floating blade 41 that tries to tilt upward along the blade connecting ring 43 from interfering with the fishing line 50, and the forward diagonally upward posture of the floating blade 41 that receives the water flow resistance is stably maintained.

[0040] In the floating process of the lure 1 shown in FIGS. 3(b) and (c) by reeling, when a pair of rotary blade portions 37 (see FIG. 2(a)) in the pair of buzz blades 5 receive the axial water flow of the shaft portion 13, the pair of plate-like portions 31 together with the pair of rotary blade portions 37 rotate around the axis of the shaft portion 13, and the entire pair of buzz blades 5 rotates. Thereby, a rotation sound can be effectively generated. Also, during reeling, the magnitude and speed of the pulling force on the lure 1 change, or turbulent flow occurs around the buzz blade 5 due to the shape of the buzz blade 5 that receives the water flow relatively generated with respect to the lure 1, or the flow of water or wind in a river or lake where the target fish inhabits changes, or the force received due to the rotation of the pair of buzz blades 5 themselves changes. For this reason, the magnitude and direction of the force around the axis of the shaft portion 13 acting on the pair of buzz blades 5 change moment by moment. As a result, the pair of buzz blades 5 repeatedly come into contact with and separate from the axis of the shaft portion 13 (see FIGS. 2(h) and (i)). By such repeated contact and separation of the pair of buzz blades 5, a contact sound can be effectively generated. Thus, by the synergistic effect of the rotation sound and the contact sound caused by the pair of buzz blades 5 repeatedly coming into contact with and separating from each other while the entire pair of buzz blades 5 rotates, an effective fish attracting sound that can strongly interest fish can be generated.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 3(c) to 3(d), due to the floating action of the floating blade 41, as shown in FIG. 3(d), the pair of buzz blades 5 are arranged near the water surface, and the lure 1 can be attracted while rotating the pair of buzz blades 5 near the water surface by reeling. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 3(d) to 3(e), it is possible to raise splashes near the water surface and make the lure 1 swim, and in addition to the synergistic effect of the rotation sound and the contact sound, the effect of the splash sound is combined to produce a more effective fish attracting sound, thereby improving the fishing effect more effectively. Further, the rear lower surface side of the floating blade 41 receives the water flow near the water surface that occurs relatively with respect to the lure 1 as the reeling progresses, so that the front end side of the shaft portion 13 is lifted to the water surface by the floating blade 41, and the rear end side of the shaft portion 13 is submerged in the water by the weight 7 to balance, so that the pair of buzz blades 5 arranged between the front end side and the rear end side of the shaft portion 13 can be surely arranged near the water surface. Thereby, the lure 1 can be stably swum while raising splashes near the water surface.

[0042] (Alternative Embodiment) In the above embodiment, an example in which the pair of buzz blades 5 are attached to the shaft portion 13 is shown such that the rotation regions of the pair of buzz blades 5 around the axis of the shaft portion 13 substantially completely overlap, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pair of buzz blades 5 may be attached while being shifted in the axial direction of the shaft portion 13 such that a part of the rotation regions of the pair of buzz blades 5 overlap each other. Even with such a configuration, the pair of buzz blades 5 can be brought into contact with and separated from each other while rotating the entire pair of buzz blades 5, and the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

[0043] As described above, the lure of the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiments, and the configuration can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist thereof.

Industrial Applicability

[0044] The lure of the present invention is intended for medium-sized fish such as black bass and sea bass, but it can also be applied to relatively large fish, for example, koi, catfish, carp, etc.
