[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the lure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Components common to multiple drawings are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the multiple drawings. Please note that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale for the sake of convenience.

[0022] Figures 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a diagram showing a state in which the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is in use, and Figure 2 is a diagram showing the basic configuration of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 2(a) is a front view of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2(b) is a bottom view of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2(c) is a cross-sectional view of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2(d) is a side view (side on the resistor 7 side) of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , a lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a lure body 2, a first line attachment portion 3 provided at a butt portion 5 of the lure body 2 for attaching a bait line 9, and a holder 4 provided at a location between the butt portion 5 and the tail portion 6 of the lure body 2 for holding a portion of the bait line. Here, the butt portion 5 is defined as a portion on the underside of the lure body 2, rearward of half the longitudinal length of the lure body (rearward in the direction of travel). Furthermore, the tail portion 6 is defined as a portion of the lure body 2 at the end (rear end) opposite the direction of travel (rear end). These definitions remain the same throughout this specification. Furthermore, the first line attachment portion 3 (usually referred to as an eye, but not limited to this) is used to attach the bait line 9, and may be attached directly or indirectly (for example, via a ring, a line stopper, or other member).

[0024] According to the lure 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a lure that can improve fishing results by allowing fishing lines of various lengths to be used without getting caught on rocks, without having to select a fishing line appropriate for the water depth. More specifically, if a fishing line is long and the fishing line is attached to the lure as is in shallow water, the hook attached to the line may get caught on an obstacle on the water bottom, making it difficult to continue fishing. However, with the lure 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, the fishing line extends from the butt end to the tail end, and a portion of the line is held in a holding portion provided in the tail end, and the fishing line can be positioned so that it extends outward from the holding portion. This significantly reduces the possibility of getting caught on rocks in shallow water, even when a long fishing line is used, thereby achieving the technical effect of eliminating the need to select a fishing line appropriate for the water depth and contributing to improved fishing results.

[0025] The lure body 2 is hollow (as in FIG. 2) or solid, and is typically made of plastic, but is not limited to a specific material. The lure body 2 is provided with a water resistor 7 at its head (the left end of the lure body 2 in the longitudinal direction in FIG. 1). The resistor 7 may have any shape that allows for swimming, and is not limited to the illustrated form. The resistor 7 is also provided with a second line attachment portion 11 (usually referred to as an eye, but not limited to this) to which the main line 8 or the like is attached directly or indirectly (for example, via a connecting part such as a snap or swivel fastened to the main line 8 or the fishing line (such as a leader) from the reel). The second line attachment portion 11 may be provided directly on the lure body 2.

[0026] The first line attachment part 3 and the second line attachment part 11 are formed in a ring or annular shape, but are not limited to this. A connecting part such as a snap or swivel fastened to the main line 8 or the fishing line (such as a leader) from the reel is attached to the second line attachment part 11. In addition, the tackle line 9 equipped with a ring R, a leader stopper 13, etc. is attached to the first line attachment part 3.

[0027] The lure body 2 is provided with a retaining portion 4 in the range from the butt portion 5 to the tail portion 6 (tail portion 6 in FIG. 2), which is configured to hold a portion of the bait line 9. This will be described in more detail below. In this way, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the bait line 9 extends from the first line attachment portion 3 (starting end) to the retaining portion 4 (middle region), and the bait line 9 extends from the retaining portion 4 to the outside of the lure 1. A hook 12 is provided at the tip (terminal end) of the bait line 9.

[0028] Next, the details of the holding portion 4 of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding portion 4 is configured to clamp or lock a portion of the bait line 9, and its specific configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7. FIGS. 3(a) and 4(a) show top views of a portion of the lure body 2 and the holding portion 4 of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 3(b) and 4(b) show front views of a portion of the lure body 2 and the holding portion 4 of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 3(c) and 4(c) show side views (side view of the holding portion 4) of a portion of the lure body 2 and the holding portion 4 of the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Additionally, FIGS. 5 and 7 show top views of a portion of the lure body 2 and the holding portion 4, respectively. FIG. 6 shows a side view of a portion of the lure body 2 and the holding portion 4.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding portion 4 is provided on the tail portion 6, and a slit is formed in the holding portion 4. In this way, a part of the fishing line 9 is inserted into the slit and held within the slit. In this way, the fishing line 9 can be shortened with a simple structure, and snagging in shallow water can be reduced.

[0030] Furthermore, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the slit is formed in the short direction of the lure body (the vertical direction on the paper of Figs. 2(a) and 3(b)). This makes it easier for the fishing line 9 to come out when a prey is hooked, and therefore the prey is less likely to weaken. Also, as shown in Fig. 1, the fishing line 9 comes out from above the slit in the holding part 4 and hangs downward outside the lure 1, making it possible to lift the fishing line 9 higher than the main body 2. This makes it easy to fish even in shallow water with no current, resulting in a good catch.

[0031] In the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the slit is formed in the center or approximately the center in the width direction (the left-right length in the plane of FIG. 3(c)) of the cross section of the holding part perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lure body (the left-right direction in the plane of FIG. 2(a)). This allows the hook 12 to swing symmetrically when the lure 1 is moved in the water, making it easier to maintain the posture of the lure 1.

[0032] In a lure according to one embodiment of the present invention, the depth of the slit (the length in the left-right direction on the paper surface of FIG. 3(a)) is preferably about 1 / 20 to 1 / 15 of the length of the lure body 2. For example, when the lure body is about 95 mm, a range of about 4 to 7 mm is preferable. The reason for using this range is that the lure line 9 is less likely to come loose when the lure 1 is manipulated underwater, and when prey is hooked, the lure line 9 comes off the holding part 4 without any difficulty, so as not to weaken the prey.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the slit (the length in the left-right direction on the paper surface of FIG. 4(c)) increases as the slit becomes deeper (to the left in the left-right direction on the paper surface of FIG. 4(a)).

[0034] In the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding portion 4 is formed of an elastic material to hold the line 9 of the lure. The elastic material may be, for example, elastomer, rubber, vinyl chloride, silicone, etc., but is not limited to these. In particular, elastomer is preferable because it places less strain on the line. In addition to the elastic material, Velcro (registered trademark) and springs may also be used, but are not limited to these.

[0035] In lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a magnet 14 is provided at the butt end 5 of lure body 2, and a fishing line stopper 13 is provided on the fishing line 9. The fishing line stopper 13 is connected to the rear eye 3 by a ring R. Because ring R is made of metal, it can be attached to lure body 2 on which magnet 14 is provided, making it possible to guide fishing line 9 along the outer surface of lure body 2 to holding part 4.

[0036] Next, as shown in Figure 5, in a lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding portion 4 is provided in the tail portion 6, and the lure line 9 is configured to be clamped between two components biased by a spring member. The clamping surfaces of the components may be oriented in any direction and are not limited to the illustrated embodiment. In this way, the length of the lure line 9 can be adjusted. When the clamping surfaces of the components are formed in the center in the vertical direction, the bait hook 9 is positioned in the center, improving left-right balance. This makes it easier to maintain the lure's posture.

[0037] As shown in Figure 6, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding part 4 is provided on the tail 6, and the lure line 9 is held by being wound around a locking protrusion provided on the holding part 4. The locking protrusion may be oriented in any direction and is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. In this way, the length of the lure line 9 can be adjusted.

[0038] Next, as shown in Figure 7, in a lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding portion 4 is provided in the tail portion 6, and the lure line 9 is configured to be sandwiched between two components that make up the hook-and-loop fastener (one formed as a convex surface and the other as a concave surface, etc.). The surfaces of the hook-and-loop fastener may face in either direction, and are not limited to the illustrated embodiment. In this way, the length of the lure line 9 can be adjusted.

[0039] Next, a lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9. As shown in Fig. 9, in the lure 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holder 4 having the slit may be formed integrally with the lure body 2 using the same material as the lure body 2. For example, if the lure body 2 and the holder 4 are formed integrally using a resin with cushioning properties such as silicone, the lure body 2 will be less susceptible to water resistance, will be easier to maintain its posture, and will have improved strength.

[0040] A lure according to one embodiment of the present invention is used for sweetfish fishing. Ayu have a habit of attacking enemies that enter their territory by ramming into their rear end, swimming around the area of ​​their prey's anus. Therefore, fishing is performed by letting the bait line hang long to widen the range of motion of the hook. Furthermore, a longer bait line provides cushioning, preventing the sweetfish from weakening even after being hooked. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8 , in deep water or with fast currents, the line is left hanging without being held by the holding portion 9, and in shallow water, the long bait line is shortened by the holding portion 9, allowing sweetfish to search around rocks and other areas without getting snagged. Here, the lure according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used for fishing for gobies and other fish in addition to sweetfish, but is not limited to these.

[0041] The dimensions, materials, and arrangement of each component described in this specification are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component can be modified to have any dimensions, materials, and arrangement that can be included in the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, components not explicitly described in this specification can be added to the described embodiments, and some of the components described in each embodiment can be omitted.
