[0013] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, the same reference numerals will be used for similar elements in all drawings, and redundant explanations will be omitted. In addition, in the descriptions within the text, reference numerals previously mentioned will be used as necessary.

[0014] Figure 1 shows a squid fishing lure 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1(a) is a top view of the core body portion 12 of the squid fishing lure 10. Figure 1(b) is a side view of the core body portion 12 of the squid fishing lure 10.

[0015] Figure 1(c) is a side view of the weight portion 14 of the squid fishing lure 10. Figure 1(d) is a cross-sectional view of the weight portion 14 of the squid fishing lure 10 (cross-sectional view along line AA in Figure 1(e)). Figure 1(e) is a front view of the weight portion 14 of the squid fishing lure 10.

[0016] Figure 2 shows the squid fishing lure 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the squid fishing lures 20 and 30, which are modified versions of the squid fishing lure 10. Figure 2(a) shows the disassembled squid fishing lure 10. Figure 2(b) shows the assembled squid fishing lure 10.

[0017] Figure 2(c) shows a squid fishing lure 20, which is a first modification of the squid fishing lure 10. Figure 2(d) shows a squid fishing lure 30, which is a second modification of the squid fishing lure 10.

[0018] The squid fishing lure 10 is a lure used when enjoying squid fishing. The squid fishing lure 10 comprises a rod-shaped core 12, multiple weighted sections 14, a restricting section 16, and an umbrella-rib-shaped hook section 18.

[0019] The core body part 12 is a rod-shaped core member having a predetermined diameter and a predetermined length. The core body part 12 has an O-shaped part 12b whose one end side forms a substantially circular shape, and two through holes 12a for inserting a fishing line are formed on the other end side.

[0020] The size of the core body part 12 can be changed as appropriate, and examples are shown below. For example, the predetermined diameter of the core body part 12 is 2.5 mm, the O-shaped part 12b has an inner diameter (radius from the center to the inside of the core body part 12) of 1.25 mm, and an outer diameter (radius from the center to the outside of the core body part 12) of 3.75 mm. Also, the radius of the two through holes 12a is 0.5 mm, and the length of both ends of the core body part 12 is 107.5 mm.

[0021] As another example of the size of the core body part 1, the predetermined diameter of the core body part 12 is 3 mm, the O-shaped part 12b has an inner diameter of 1.5 mm and an outer diameter of 4.5 mm. Also, the radius of the two through holes 12a is 0.5 mm, and the length of both ends of the core body part 12 is 109 mm.

[0022] Also, as another example of the size of the core body part 12, the predetermined diameter of the core body part 12 is 3.5 mm, the O-shaped part 12b has an inner diameter of 1.75 mm and an outer diameter of 5.25 mm. Also, the radius of the two through holes 12a is 0.5 mm, and the length of both ends of the core body part 12 is 110.5 mm.

[0023] The core body part 12 is made of a material having appropriate strength. Here, it is described as being made of stainless steel, but of course, other materials can also be used.

[0024] The weight body part 14 is a cylindrical weight member having a through hole 14a through which the core body part 12 can be inserted and having a predetermined weight. At least one of both ends along the central axis of the weight body part 14 has a tapered shape that tapers toward the tip.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the weight portion 14 has a through hole 14a formed in its center into which the core portion 12 is inserted. The weight portion 14 comprises a roughly cylindrical first part 14b and a roughly frustoconical second part 14c.

[0026] The size of the core body 12 can be changed as appropriate, but examples are given below. For example, the diameter of the roughly cylindrical first part 14b is 16 mm, the height is 10 mm, and the diameter of the through hole is 3.5 mm. The diameter of the base side of the roughly frustoconical shape is 16 mm, the height is 20 mm, the diameter of the top side is 7.5 mm, and the diameter of the through hole is 3.5 mm.

[0027] The core body 12 is made of a material with appropriate strength. Here, it will be described as being made of tungsten, lead, and resin, but of course, other materials can also be used.

[0028] Note that the core body 12 made of tungsten, the core body 12 made of lead, and the core body 12 made of resin have different weights. Thus, the weight of the core body 12 can be varied by the material that makes up the core body 12, but the weight can also be adjusted by changing the size of the core body 12 (for example, the height).

[0029] Each conical section 14 has a different surface color. Specifically, the top, sides, and bottom surfaces of the roughly cylindrical first section 14b and the roughly frustoconical second section 14c are each painted with predetermined colors or patterns.

[0030] For example, if the weight portion 14 is painted in different single colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, light blue, gold, or silver, then by selecting two weight portions 14 from among them, numerous combinations can be created. For example, a fishing user can create squid fishing lures 10 with various designs to suit their mood.

[0031] The restricting portion 16 has a through hole into which the core portion 12 can be inserted, and is a restricting member that restricts the movement of the weight portion 14 into which the core portion 12 is inserted. The restricting portion 16 has a cylindrical shape, and the diameter of the through hole is set to 4 mm, the outer diameter is set to 15 mm, and the height is set to 10 mm, but of course, these can be changed as appropriate.

[0032] The restricting portion 16 is made of a material with appropriate flexibility, and can be made of, for example, a spring member, a silicone member, or a rubber member.

[0033] The needle portion 18 is an umbrella-rib-shaped needle member having a through hole through which the core portion 12 can be inserted. The through hole of the needle portion 18 is set to 3 mm, the outer diameter to 15 mm, and the height to 10 mm, as described above, but of course, these can be changed as appropriate.

[0034] The needle portion 18 is made of a material with appropriate strength. Here, it will be described as being made of stainless steel, for example, but of course, this can be changed as appropriate.

[0035] Next, the operation of the squid fishing lure 10 with the above configuration will be explained. The conventional squid fishing lures 60 and 70 shown in Figure 4 lack originality and interest in the design of the weight.

[0036] Furthermore, conventional squid fishing lures, models 60 and 70, have a fixed weight, so if you want to change the weight depending on the water depth or current at the fishing spot, you need to switch to a different product.

[0037] Furthermore, in conventional squid fishing lures 60 and 70, the hook is attached below the weight and its position cannot be changed. In contrast to these problems of conventional squid fishing lures 60 and 70, the squid fishing lure 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention exhibits remarkable effectiveness.

[0038] First, prepare the disassembled squid fishing lure 10 as shown in Figure 2(a). Then, insert the core body 12 from the other side into the through holes of the two hook portions 18, and lock the two hook portions 18 into the O-shaped portion 12b.

[0039] Next, the core body 12 is inserted through the through hole of one of the restricting parts 16 and positioned above the two needle parts 18. Then, of the pair of weight parts 15a and 15b, the core body 12 is first inserted through the through hole of the weight part 15b with the upper surface of the frustoconical part of the weight part 15b facing downwards, and then moved until it is restricted by the restricting part 16.

[0040] Next, of the pair of weight portions 15a and 15b, the remaining weight portion 15a is positioned with its frustoconical portion facing upwards, and the core portion 12 is inserted through the through-hole of the weight portion 15a. Then, it is moved until it is restricted by the bottom surface of the weight portion 15b.

[0041] Subsequently, the core body 12 is inserted through the through hole of one of the restricting parts 16 and positioned above the upper surface of the weight body 15a. This restricts the upward movement of the weight body 15a. In this way, the squid fishing lure 10 is completed as shown in Figure 2(b).

[0042] As described above, the squid fishing lure 10 has the advantage that, for example, the design (color, pattern) applied to a set of weight sections 15a and 15b can be selected and attached, allowing the user to change the design according to their preferred color scheme or mood of the day.

[0043] Furthermore, the weight can be changed by altering the combination of materials (e.g., tungsten, lead, resin) of a pair of weight sections 15a and 15b. This has the remarkable effect of allowing the weight to be set appropriately according to the water depth and current of the fishing spot.

[0044] Furthermore, although the above example was described assuming that the two hook sections 18 are positioned downwards, the squid fishing lure 10 allows for changes in the position of the hook sections 18. For example, as shown in Figure 2(c), the two hook sections 18 can be positioned above and below a pair of weight sections 15a and 15b, respectively. This increases the probability that squid will bite the hooks.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2(d), by using three needle portions 18 and a pair of weight portions 15c, 15d of different sizes, the needle portion 18 can be positioned above and below the pair of weight portions 15c, 15d, and between the weight portions 15c, 15d.

[0046] As described above, the squid fishing lure 10 offers the remarkable advantage of being able to create various design variations by changing the design (color, pattern) and weight combination of the weighted body 14, and also allowing the weight to be freely changed according to the conditions of the fishing spot.

[0047] In the example above, the device was described as being composed of a core body 12, a weight body 14, a regulating part 16, and a needle part 18. However, the needle part 18 may be omitted and used as a weight instead.

[0048] Figure 3 shows the core body portion 12 and modified core body portions 22, 32, 42, and 52 of the squid fishing lure 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3(a) shows the core body portion 12. Figure 3(b) shows the core body portion 22, which is a first modified example of the core body portion 12.

[0049] Figure 3(c) shows a core body 32, which is a second modified example of the core body 12. Figure 3(d) shows a core body 42, which is a third modified example of the core body 12. Figure 3(e) shows a core body 52, which is a fourth modified example of the core body 12.

[0050] Figure 3(a) shows that, as with the core body 12 described above, the lower part has an O-shaped section 12b. For example, a weight with a swivel can be attached to the O-shaped section 12b.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3(b), a through hole 22b is formed at one end of the core portion 22. The through hole 22b is described as having a diameter of, for example, 1 mm, but of course, it can be changed as appropriate. A ring can be attached to the through hole 22b, and a needle or the like can be attached to that ring.

[0052] Other variations include a configuration in which one end of the core portion 32 has a T-shape, as shown in Figure 3(c); a configuration in which one end of the core portion 42 has an L-shape, as shown in Figure 3(d); and a configuration in which one end of the core portion 52 has a triangular shape, as shown in Figure 3(e). These variations of the core portion can also be used to make artificial lures for squid fishing. [Explanation of symbols]
