Squid lures that won't get snagged

Abstract

To provide a squid lure capable of selectively hooking only a squid hugging while avoiding snagging with an obstacle such as a rope, a net or seaweed.SOLUTION: A snag-proof squid lure is configured to reverse and temporarily fix a fishhook part so as to, when being pulled or luring, prevent a hook tip from directly facing an object that is snagged. A temporarily fixed umbrella hook changes to rotate in a forward direction by resistance of tentacles of a hugging squid, an impact of hooking and a temporary fixation release mechanism, allowing the hook tip to quickly hook the squid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1-A

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a squid artificial bait that is a fishing tackle. BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Conventional squid artificial baits (referred to as egi) are designed and considered to match the unique predatory behavior of squid that differs from other fish, that is, the ecology of catching prey with their tentacles and embracing it to prey, so that the fishing hooks attached to the egi can hook if they touch the arms or trunk of the squid instead of the mouth. As a trade-off, they are prone to catching on obstacles present in water, and the so-called "snagging" frequently occurs. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0003] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a squid fishing tackle that can attract and catch squid without getting snagged even when coming into contact with mooring ropes, aquaculture cage nets, and seaweeds present in water. MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS

[0004] The present invention is an egi characterized in that part or all of the fishing hooks (referred to as umbrella hooks) of the conventional egi, which are composed of a large number of hooks and designed to hook onto any object they touch, are reversed and temporarily fixed, specialized to hook only the embracing target, thereby achieving both snagging avoidance and fishing performance. EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The squid jig of this invention can be cast without fear of snagging into areas where squid like to attach themselves, such as mooring ropes, nets, discarded nets, and areas with abundant seaweed where schools of squid gather during spawning, which were previously impossible to target with conventional squid lures. Furthermore, it not only improves catches in areas where snagging is common and fishing has been difficult with conventional methods, but also helps prevent damage to corals and seaweed caused by snagging, which has been a problem from the past to the present, and helps prevent accidental injuries to fishermen from squid jigs left behind after getting caught on mooring ropes or fishing nets during operations. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0006] [Figure 1] This is an example of the reversed installation of the umbrella hook on a squid lure (egi) according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is an example of an insertion method for reversing the placement of the umbrella hook of a squid lure (egi) according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] Figures 1-A and 1-B are side views of one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1-A, the squid jig of this embodiment is designed so that the tips of the multi-stage umbrella hooks, which are usually composed of two to three stages, are folded in the opposite direction to the head. Furthermore, in areas where seaweed growth is sparse, the design should be such that a similar effect is produced by reversing and installing only the front umbrella hook on the side facing the direction of use (towards the head of the lure), as shown in Figure 1-B. ~Structure and Effects~ Figure 1-A shows that the structure of the umbrella needle is not a conventional ring but a part of a cylinder into which a groove is carved (symbol). 1 ·Sign 1(See -2) This structure involves folding the hook section back onto the shaft of the body like a folding knife, setting the hook point in the opposite direction of use, thereby preventing the hook point from touching obstacles. In this reversed state, the hook will be caught when the angler sets the hook while the squid is clinging to it (the action of the angler flicking the rod and pulling sharply to hook the target fish) or when the temporary fixing release mechanism described later releases the temporary fixing and the hook point faces the target. Figure 1-B shows a structure similar to that described in Figure 1-A above, but with a groove (symbol) in a part of the cylindrical section instead of a ring. 1 ·Sign 1 (See -2) A structure is provided, and the U-shaped ring (reference numeral 3) of the umbrella hook is connected to the main body via a wire, monofilament, etc., and is fitted and fixed in the opposite direction to the shaft of the body. This not only prevents the hook point from getting stuck in obstacles because it is set up in the opposite direction to the direction of use, but the umbrella hook set in the reverse position covers the hook point of the following rear umbrella hook which is facing forward, and functions as a guard to prevent obstacles from getting stuck in the rear umbrella hook which is facing forward. As explained in Figure 1-A, the umbrella hook that is temporarily fixed in this reverse position will also come off the fixed position due to the impact of the angler setting the hook or the fixing release mechanism described later, and will become free with the hook point facing forward, so that it gets caught on a squid, and at the same time the hook point of the rear umbrella hook which is facing forward will also open up towards the target. ~Specific Examples and Techniques~ In addition to the structure in Figure 1-A where the umbrella hook is folded so that the hook point does not face the direction of use (towards the head of the lure), there is also a form in which the umbrella hook is installed in reverse, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, a pin is provided at the rear of the umbrella needle and inserted into a hole at the tail of the body to temporarily fix it in place and produce a similar effect. noya Designs that achieve a similar effect by attaching a fixing part such as a clip to temporarily secure the umbrella hook to one of the body parts of the squid jig, or by fixing it in an inverted position with a magnet, are also included as examples of inverted installation. In addition to the structure in which some of the grooved umbrella needles shown in Figure 1-B are installed inverted on the shaft, 2 Another example that produces a similar effect is to make the shaft portion of the squid jig where the umbrella hook is attached a flat plate, cut grooves into it, and install double-groove umbrella hooks that rotate in both directions according to the grooves. Regarding the temporary fixing and release of the umbrella hook, the design involves slightly narrowing the width of the groove on the cylindrical part of the umbrella hook to slightly less than the thickness of the shaft used for temporary fixing, thereby creating slight resistance to release. Alternatively, magnets can be used to temporarily fix the hook to the body, preventing it from coming loose from contact with seaweed or ropes, and allowing it to detach from the impact of a hookset or friction with a squid that has latched onto it. Furthermore, various mechanisms such as a clasp system or lever parts for release allow the temporarily fixed umbrella hook to be released in the reverse direction by appropriate impact and friction. of We will hire you.
