Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the above-described fishing rig of the lure type, when fishing for fish on the bottom, it is necessary to attach a weight to the lure body and sink it. In this case, when retrieving with the lure body in a state of being on the bottom, there is a problem that the lure body is easily caught on an obstacle on the bottom of the water and difficult to escape from the obstacle. That is, the conventional fishing rig of the lure type has not been sufficiently considered in terms of a configuration that facilitates detachment when caught on an obstacle on the bottom of the water.

[0005] This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a lure that is less likely to get caught on obstacles on the seabed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the lure according to the present invention comprises a buoyancy body with a line eye fixed to its tip, and a hook attachment portion provided to protrude from the rear end of the buoyancy body and to which a hook can be attached, wherein the buoyancy body is configured to maintain a state in which the line eye is downward and the hook attachment portion is upward in water, and when a tensile force is applied to the line connected to the line eye, the tip portion to which the line eye is fixed changes direction of movement relative to the rear end of the buoyancy body.

[0007] The buoyancy body that constitutes the lure described above has buoyancy that allows it to float in seawater (water), and is shaped so that the rear end floats while maintaining a state in which the line eye is downward and the hook attachment part is upward in the water. The buoyancy body has a line eye on the sinking side (tip), and when a tensile force is applied to the line connected to the line eye, the direction of movement of the sinking tip of the buoyancy body changes relative to the rear end, so even if it gets caught on an obstacle on the seabed, the tip of the buoyancy body can easily detach from the obstacle. In other words, when retrieving, the tip of the buoyancy body is a part that is prone to getting caught on obstacles on the seabed, but even if it gets caught, it can easily detach from the sinking tip, thus suppressing snagging of the buoyancy body. Furthermore, the buoyancy body has a hook attachment part that protrudes from the rear end, which is the floating side, so that a distance is secured from the tip of the buoyancy body to the hook, and snagging due to line entanglement etc. can be effectively prevented. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, a lure can be obtained that is less likely to get caught on obstacles on the seabed. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0010] The following describes embodiments of the lure according to the present invention. Figures 1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view, Figure 2 shows the lure shown in Figure 1, (a) is a side view, (b) is a plan view, Figure 3 is a view for explaining the upright state of the lure shown in Figure 1 in water, Figure 4 is a front view of the lure shown in Figure 3, and Figure 5 is a view for explaining the state in which a tensile force acts on the line connected to the line eye of the lure shown in Figure 1.

[0011] The lure of the present invention includes a buoyancy body, and a line eye to which a line from a reel is connected is provided on the buoyancy body. In the following description, when specifying the direction of the lure (buoyancy body), the direction in which the lure advances when the angler performs a retrieve operation is defined as the tip side (tip portion, front side, front, etc.), and the opposite side is defined as the rear end side (rear end portion, rear side, rear, etc.). Also, in this state, the water surface side is defined as up (upper), the bottom side is defined as down (lower), and the direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction is defined as the width direction (left-right direction).

[0012] The lure 1 of the present embodiment is assumed to be used in the sea and includes a buoyancy body 2 in the form shown in Figure 1. The buoyancy body 2 is not limited in terms of material as long as it is configured to float in the sea (water), and may be made of a material with a light specific gravity, or even a material with a heavy specific gravity as long as it is configured to float with a cavity formed inside. Also, the lure is mainly configured to be suitable for casting from land, such as surf, estuary, breakwater, etc., to catch fish, but can also be used in freshwater areas such as rivers and lakes.

[0013] The buoyancy body 2 has a form that can maintain a state in which the tip side sinks and the rear end side floats in the sea. In this embodiment, a weight is provided on the tip side of the buoyancy body, and the tip side is configured to sink. In this case, the weight may be provided inside the buoyancy body 2 in advance, attached by the user via a weight eye, or a combination of these. In the configuration of the buoyancy body 2, for convenience, the tip side that sinks due to the weight is referred to as the sinking portion 2A, and the rear end side that floats is referred to as the floating portion 2B. Regarding the buoyancy body, if the material of the sinking part 2A has a large specific gravity and the material of the floating part 2B has a small specific gravity, it is possible to sink the tip side and float the rear end side without providing the weight.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, the buoyancy body 2 of the present embodiment has different outer shapes for the sinking part 2A and the floating part 2B, and both are configured in a curved shape with a bulging surface. As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the floating part 2B has a shape in which the maximum height H in the vertical direction and the maximum width W in the horizontal direction are larger than the maximum height and the maximum width of the sinking part 2A. Therefore, in such an outer shape with such a surface, the rear side (floating part 2B) of the buoyancy body 2 has a larger volume compared to the front side (sinking part 2A), so it is easier to maintain a state where the tip side sinks and the rear end side floats in the sea (hereinafter, such a state is also referred to as a standing state). In this case, as an example, the size of the buoyancy body 2 is such that the overall length L is about 40 to 45 mm, the maximum height H in the vertical direction of the floating part is about 20 to 25 mm, and the maximum width W of the floating part is about 15 to 20 mm.

[0015] Further, in the buoyancy body 2 of the present embodiment, a recess 2C is formed by the depression of the bottom side (lower side) between the sinking part 2A and the floating part 2B, and the sinking part 2A and the floating part 2B are separated at this recess 2C part. That is, the front side of the recess 2C is the sinking part 2A, and the rear side thereof is the floating part 2B. Regarding the length of the floating part 2B in the front-rear direction, it has a shape longer than the length in the front-rear direction of the sinking part 2A so that sufficient buoyancy can be obtained in a stable standing state.

[0016] In the present embodiment, a weight eye 3 for detachably attaching a weight is fixed to the recess 2C. For example, the weight eye 3 is formed such that the base end portion 3a is fixed to the buoyancy body 2 and the tip is spirally wound from the base end portion 3a so that the tip portion 3b is separated from the intermediate portion. A structure that can easily perform the attachment and detachment operation of the weight without using a jig or the like is used. The weight eye 3 may have the same configuration as the following line eye 5.

[0017] By attaching the ring portion 81 of the weight 80 to the weight eye 3 of the buoyancy body 2, the front side of the buoyancy body 2 sinks. In other words, the buoyancy body 2 can maintain an upright position in the sea (water) with its tip facing downwards, as shown in Figure 3, thanks to the weight 80 attached to its tip. In this case, ocean currents may occur in the sea, but for the purpose of explaining the configuration of the lure according to the present invention, we will explain it as if there were no such ocean currents.

[0018] As shown in Figure 3, when the tip of the buoyancy body 2 sinks due to the weight of the weight 80, the rear end floats up. In this embodiment, as described above, the weight 80 is attached to a weight eye 3 provided in the recess 2C on the tip side of the buoyancy body 2, and the position of the weight eye 3 is set so that when the buoyancy body 2 is in an upright position, the attached weight 80 is on the seabed side of the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2. Therefore, the buoyancy body 2 becomes stable with the weight 80 resting on the seabed 100 and the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2 separated from the seabed 100.

[0019] Regarding the weight eye 3 fixed within the recess 2C, it is preferable that it is positioned so as shown in Figure 4 that it is hidden by the buoyancy body 2 when viewed from the front while the buoyancy body 2 is upright in the sea. In this embodiment, the weight eye 3 is fixed at the bottom (deepest position) of the recess 2C, and the sinking portion 2A prevents the weight eye 3 from being seen from the front.

[0020] In this way, by specifying the fixing position of the weight eye 3, the part that is prone to entanglement with the line and obstacles is not exposed from the front side, making it possible to suppress snagging. Regarding the position of the weight eye 3, if it protrudes forward from the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2, it will be prone to snagging with obstacles, and conversely, if it is moved too far towards the rear end of the buoyancy body 2, the center of gravity will rise overall, making it impossible to maintain a stable upright state in the sea. For this reason, it is preferable that the weight eye 3 is fixed to the buoyancy body 2 such that the length L2 between the tangent E1 at the very tip of the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2 and the tangent E2 at the tip of the weight eye 3 that is parallel to the tangent E1 is in the range of 0 ≤ L2 ≤ L.

[0021] A line eye 5 is fixed to the tip of the buoyancy body 2, i.e., the sinking portion 2A. This line eye 5 is the part to which the line 90 from the reel side is connected, and a substantially ring-shaped opening 5a is formed between it and the surface of the sinking portion 2A. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2(a), the upper surface from the sinking portion 2A to the floating portion 2B is formed flush with a curved shape, and it is preferable to fix the line eye 5 to the tip of the upper surface (back) of the sinking portion 2A. For this reason, the buoyancy body 2 is provided with the weight eye 3 on the side opposite the line eye 5, with the sinking portion 2A in between. When a tensile force T is applied to the line 90 connected to the line eye 5 while the buoyancy body 2 is upright, the movement of the portion to which the weight 80 is attached is different from the movement of the rear end of the buoyancy body 2.

[0022] In other words, as shown in Figure 5, when a tensile force T is applied to the line 90, such as when winding up the reel, the front end of the buoyancy body 2 (sinking part 2A) is subjected to a tensile force in the same direction as the line 90 is pulled, and the weight eye 3 fixed on the side opposite to the line eye 5 is subjected to a tensile force in the same direction as the line 90, causing it to rotate in the direction of arrow D1 (clockwise). In contrast, the rear end of the buoyancy body 2 (floating part 2B) tries to rotate in the direction of arrow D2 (counterclockwise) due to the reaction force. Furthermore, when the tensile force T on the line 90 is removed, the buoyancy body 2 will rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation described above due to the weight of the weight 80 and the buoyancy of the floating part 2B. Furthermore, if the line eye 5 is fixed to the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2 (see Figure 3), the tip may rotate when a tensile force T acts on the line 90, and the connected line 90 may come into contact with the seabed and be damaged. Therefore, it is preferable to fix it to the tip of the upper surface (back) of the sinking section 2A as described above.

[0023] The direction of the tensile force acting on the buoyancy body 2 from the line 90 changes depending on the water depth and the casting distance. For example, in deep water, when the reel is wound in, a tensile force acts in the direction shown by T1 in Figure 5, and in shallow water, a tensile force acts in the direction shown by T2 in Figure 5. In this case, the line eye 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the front end of the buoyancy body 2 as described above, and by setting the weight 80 that sinks the front end of the buoyancy body 2 to be located on (or near) the extension of the line 90 to which the buoyancy body 2 is connected when the buoyancy body 2 is upright, it becomes possible to rotate the front end (sinking part 2A) of the buoyancy body 2 in the direction of arrow D1 (clockwise) in accordance with the tension of the line 90, regardless of the depth.

[0024] Furthermore, a hook attachment portion 7, to which a fishhook 10 can be attached, is fixed to the rear end of the buoyancy body 2, i.e., the floating portion 2B, so as to protrude toward the rear. This hook attachment portion 7 only needs to be positioned away from the rear end of the buoyancy body 2, so as to separate the fishhook 10 and the leader 12 attached to the eye of the fishhook 10 from the sinker eye 3 and the line eye 5, making it less likely for the line to get tangled. As a result, the buoyancy body 2 maintains a state in which the line eye 5 is downward and the hook attachment portion 7 is upward when submerged in water.

[0025] The hook attachment portion 7 is provided at the tip of a rigid, flexible material, or a rigid, non-flexible material. As shown in Figure 3, when the hook 10 hangs down from above by the leader 12, it is preferable to use a rigid linear member (rigid wire) 7A that extends straight backward, like a wire. With such a configuration, the length of the leader 12 can be adjusted to the desired state, thereby changing the position of the hook 10 on the seabed.

[0026] The hook attachment portion 7 can be configured to include a known leader stopper for clamping the leader 12 (see Figures 1 and 2). By using this type of leader stopper, it becomes easy to change the thickness of the fishing hook (size 10) or leader (size 12).

[0027] Furthermore, regarding the length L1 of the linear member 7A in the protruding direction, if it is made too long, the rig will become too long, resulting in poor casting performance and balance. If it is made too short, the leader 12 will be prone to tangling when it is made long. For this reason, when the total length of the buoyancy body 2 is L, it is preferable that the length L1 in the protruding direction be in the range of 0.5L ≤ L1 ≤ 2L (see Figure 2). In addition, the hook attachment part (leader stopper) 7 may be configured by providing multiple hooks at the tip of a single linear member 7A, each with a different direction.

[0028] Next, with reference to Figure 6, the usage of the lure 1 of this embodiment will be described. The lure 1 of this embodiment has a structure suitable for bottom-dwelling fish / gobies, and Figure 6 shows an example of using the lure 1 with the above configuration, targeting gobies that inhabit the seabed.

[0029] When the lure 1 is cast to a desired position by a casting operation or the like and lands on the seabed, the buoyancy body 2 is maintained in an upright position (the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2 is kept away from the seabed 100) by the weight 80 attached to its tip. In this state, the bait 15 attached to the hook 10 will begin to float near the seabed by the leader 12 held in place by the hook attachment portion 7 at the tip of the linear member 7A that protrudes rearward from the rear end of the buoyancy body 2. In other words, the bait 15 can be made to float near the seabed by the angler's retrieval operation, the flicking operation of the fishing rod, or the bending of the linear member 7A, thereby increasing its appeal to fish.

[0030] Furthermore, the seabed 100 may be uneven due to the accumulation of stones, rocks, seashells, etc. (obstacles 110), and the front end region of the buoyancy body 2 or the weight 80 may get caught on the obstacles 110. However, as described above, when a tensile force T acts on the line 90, the buoyancy body 2 tends to rotate in the direction D1, making it easier to detach from the obstacles 110, thus preventing the lure 1 from getting caught on the obstacles 110. In this case, the leader 12 of the fishing hook 10 hangs down from the tip of the linear member 7A (it is not floating on the seabed), and the length L1 of the linear member 7A ensures a distance from the buoyancy body 2, so snagging due to line entanglement can be effectively prevented.

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, the weight eye 3 is positioned so that it is hidden by the buoyancy body 2 when viewed from the front while the buoyancy body 2 is upright in the sea, and is located within the recess 2C, which makes it less likely for the line 90 or leader 12 to get tangled.

[0032] Next, another embodiment of the lure of the present invention will be described. In the embodiments described below, parts having the same configuration as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0033] Figure 7 shows a second embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the weight eye 3 is not fixed to the buoyancy body 2, and the weight 85 is provided inside the tip of the buoyancy body 2. Therefore, when the buoyancy body 2 stands upright in the sea, the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2 touches the bottom.

[0034] With this configuration, as shown in Figure 7, the position of the weight 85 coincides with the fixed position of the line eye 5 with the buoyancy portion 2A interposed therebetween. Therefore, when a tensile force is applied to the line connected to the line eye 5, the tensile force can be applied directly to the weight 85, and the tip of the buoyancy body 2 can easily rotate in the direction of arrow D1 shown in Figure 5. This makes it easier to free the lure 1 from obstacles if it gets caught on them. In addition, since the buoyancy body 2 directly touches the bottom, the upright position becomes more stable.

[0035] Furthermore, patterns (such as eye patterns 2E, and even scale patterns) may be formed on the surface of the buoyancy body 2 by various known methods such as printing, attaching stickers (including hologram stickers, etc.), and hot stamping, thereby increasing its appeal to target fish. In addition, the hook attachment portion 7 provided at the tip of the linear member 7A may be configured as a ring portion, and the leader may be directly connected to this portion or attached via a snap or the like.

[0036] Figure 8 shows a modified version of the second embodiment shown in Figure 7. Similar to the first embodiment, the weight eye 3 is fixed to the buoyancy body 2 shown in Figure 7 so that a weight 80 can be attached separately. With this configuration, the weight can be increased according to the user's preference, making it easier to cast over long distances. Furthermore, shortening the linear member 7A makes casting even easier.

[0037] Figure 9 shows a third embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. This embodiment shows an example in which multiple fishhook attachment parts 7 are provided at the rear end of the buoyancy body 2 (floating part 2B). Specifically, three linear members 7A are fixed so as to protrude from the rear end of the buoyancy body 2 at approximately 90° intervals in the left-right and rearward directions, and a fishhook attachment part (leader stopper) 7 is provided at the tip of each.

[0038] This configuration is expected to improve fishing results, and it also allows for the use of different types of hooks, different thicknesses of leader lines, and different types of bait, making it easier to select the optimal configuration depending on how the fish are biting.

[0039] Figure 10 shows a fourth embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the buoyancy body 2 differs in shape from the buoyancy body 2 of each embodiment described above, in that the sinking portion 2A at the tip is configured to have a larger outer shape than the floating portion 2B at the rear end. Furthermore, the weight eye 3 is fixed at the lower end of the sinking portion 2A, in close proximity to the line eye 5.

[0040] Thus, the overall shape of the buoyancy body 2 can be deformed as appropriate, as long as the front end sinks and the rear end floats. For example, even if the volume of the sinking portion 2A is large, it is possible to maintain an upright state, similar to the embodiment described above, by setting a large weight for the weight 80 (which may be an internal weight). Furthermore, regarding the fixing positions of the weight eye 3 and the line eye 5, it is sufficient that when a tensile force is applied to the line connected to the line eye 5, the portion to which the weight 80 is attached changes direction of movement relative to the rear end of the buoyancy body 2.

[0041] Figure 11 shows a fifth embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, a lip 20 is attached to the leading edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2, which becomes wider and thicker towards the tip. A line eye 5A is provided on the upper surface of the lip 20, and is preferably fixed to the tip of the upper surface of the lip 20. Furthermore, regarding the line eye 5A, if it is fixed to the tip edge 20a of the lip 20, the tip may rotate when a tensile force T is applied to the line, which may damage the line. Therefore, it is preferable to fix it to the tip of the upper surface of the lip 20 as described above.

[0042] By providing such a lip 20 on the buoyancy body 2, when the lure is retrieved, the buoyancy body 2 vibrates as it moves, thereby increasing its appeal to fish. Furthermore, in this configuration, when a weight (not shown) is attached to the weight eye 3, when a tensile force is applied from the line connected to the line eye 5A, the lip 20 changes direction of movement relative to the rear end of the buoyancy body 2 (rotating in the direction of arrow D1 shown in Figure 5), similar to the embodiment described above. Therefore, even if the lip 20 gets caught on an obstacle, it can be easily detached. In addition, the weight eye 3 is positioned so that it is hidden by the lip 20 when the buoyancy body 2 is viewed from the front while upright in the water, making it less likely for the line 90 or leader 12 to get tangled.

[0043] Figure 12 shows a sixth embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, a weight 86 is attached inside the tip of the lip 20, which is attached to the leading edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2. Additionally, a hook eye 9 is attached to the lower surface of the buoyancy body 2, and a hook eye 7B is fixed to the rear end (the rear end of the floating portion 2B) so as to protrude backward. In the drawing, triple hooks 30 and 31 are attached to each eye 7B and 9 via a ring member 25, but the rear end eye 7B may be made of a linear member 7A as shown in Figure 11. Also, since a weight 86 is provided inside the tip of the lip 20, the weight eye 3 may be omitted.

[0044] In this configuration, the tip edge 20a of the lip 20 touches the bottom, maintaining the upright position of the buoyancy body 2. When a tensile force is applied to the line connected to the line eye 5A, the tensile force acts on the weight portion of the lip 20, changing the direction of movement relative to the rear end of the buoyancy body 2, making it easier to free even if it gets caught on an obstacle. Furthermore, a lure 1 with this configuration can be used for fish other than bottom-dwelling fish by retrieving it in a way that prevents the lip 20 from touching the seabed, just like a typical lure.

[0045] Figure 13 shows a seventh embodiment of the lure according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the hook eye 9 fixed to the lower surface of the buoyancy body 2 is removed from the configuration of the embodiment shown in Figure 6, and the leader 12 of the fishing hook 10 is connected to the hook eye 7B at the rear end (the rear end of the floating part 2B).

[0046] Similar to the embodiments shown in Figures 11 and 12, by attaching the lip 20 to the tip edge 2a of the buoyancy body 2, the length can be ensured by the lip 20 and the buoyancy body 2, so that even if the leader 12 is directly connected to the hook eye 7B, it is possible to suppress line tangling.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0048] For example, the external shape and surface condition of the sinking portion 2A at the tip and the floating portion 2B at the rear end that constitute the buoyancy body 2 are not limited, and as long as one end (tip) sinks and the other end (rear end) floats, the shapes and boundary between them do not need to be clearly specified. The external shape (form) of the buoyancy body can be appropriately modified, as illustrated in Figures 14(a) to (c), for example, based on the shape of a cube 40, a triangular pyramid 41, a sphere 42, or a combination of these. In this case, if the buoyancy body 2 is a sphere, it is sufficient that the line eye 3 is at the bottom and the fishhook attachment portion 7 is at the top when submerged in the sea.

[0049] Furthermore, the surface state of the buoyancy body can be appropriately deformed to be curved, flat, or a combination of both (in the embodiment of the present invention, the sinking part 2A and the floating part 2B are constructed by integrating roughly spherical (roughly elliptical) bodies of different sizes with curved surfaces). Alternatively, the buoyancy body may be constructed to mimic the form of an actual organism. In addition, the structure of the buoyancy body (size, material, number of eyes, etc.) and the weight attached can also be appropriately deformed. [Explanation of Symbols]
