[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lure used for fishing and a method for producing the lure.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional lure called a metal jig consists of a luer body made of a metal such as lead or tungsten, with an outer diameter resembling that of a fish, a metal wire that penetrates the lure body in the length direction, and the front and rear of the metal wire. And an engaging portion that is connected to the end and protrudes from the luer body.
[0003]
Such a metal jig is used by connecting a fishing line to the locking portion on the head side and connecting a fishhook to the locking portion on the tail side. The metal jig cast in the water quickly settles in the water due to the weight of the metal lure body, and then performs various actions such as jigging to attract the fish. When the fish is engaged with the fishhook, the tail-side locking portion for connecting the fishhook and the head-side locking portion for connecting the fishing line are directly connected by the wire, so that a large load is applied. But the lure itself will not be damaged.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As a metal jig, it is conceivable to provide only one locking portion only on the head side. This is because it is preferable to connect a fishhook near the head of the lure head, especially for the aim of hitting the lure, especially when the lure is considered a prey, and there is no locking part on the tail side. This is because the cost can be reduced. However, even when the locking portion is provided only on the head as described above, it is necessary to embed the wire in the lure body by connecting the locking portion to the wire in view of the strength of the locking portion.
[0005]
However, the lure body of a metal jig is generally insert-molded with metal. And if the wire protrudes in two places on the head side and the tail side like a conventional metal jig, the wire can be firmly placed in a predetermined position in the mold, but the head side of the lure body It is extremely unstable to dispose the wire at a predetermined position in the lure body with only a part protruding, and the productivity is poor.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to provide a metal jig that is excellent in durability and easy to manufacture while providing a locking portion only on the head side, and a manufacturing method thereof.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The lure according to the first aspect of the present invention is a lure used for fishing, and is a fish-shaped lure body having a through-hole penetrating in the left-right direction near the eyes, and the length of the lure body near the head of the lure body. A wire that is inserted in the direction and passes through the through hole in the length direction of the luer body, and a locking portion that is connected to the head side end portion of the wire and projects to the luer body head side end portion.
[0008]
In this lure, the locking portion is provided only at the head side end of the lure body, and it is possible to reduce the cost while sufficiently catching the fish. And the wire is arrange | positioned in the metal raw material which forms a lure main body, and this wire has improved the shape stability of the lure main body. Further, a part of the wire protrudes from the head of the luer body and is connected to the locking portion, and since the tensile strength is excellent, the durability of the lure is also improved. In addition, it is good also considering a part of wire as a direct latching | locking part.
[0009]
Here, a part of the wire penetrates the through-hole penetrating the luer body in the left-right direction in the longitudinal direction, and the wire is sandwiched from the through-hole so that the wire can be inserted even during insert molding of the luer body. The position can be sufficiently stabilized, and the manufacturing efficiency is improved.
[0010]
The lure according to the second aspect of the present invention is the lure of the first aspect, wherein the end portion of the wire inserted into the luer body is bent at approximately 90 degrees.
In this lure, since one end of the wire arranged in the length direction in the lure body is bent at approximately 90 degrees, even if a large force in the length direction is applied to the wire, it is difficult to shift in the length direction.
[0011]
A method according to a third aspect of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a lure used for fishing, wherein the wire is sandwiched between a pair of lure body molding dies having a clamping column that protrudes from the left and right toward the center and can clamp the wire at a predetermined position. And a step of injecting a material into a mold and insert molding the lure body.
[0012]
In this method, a wire is placed in a pair of molds, and a metal material is injected into a mold for molding a lure body while the wire is sandwiched between molds and placed in a predetermined position. Mold. The wire is disposed only near the head of the lure body and protrudes only from the head direction. However, since the wire can be stably disposed at a desired position by the holding pillar, the lure can be efficiently molded.
[0013]
A lure according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the lure of the third aspect, wherein the lure body is formed to resemble a fish, and the sandwiching pillars are arranged at locations corresponding to the eyes of the lure body.
In this case, the pinching pillar trace formed on the lure taken out from the mold becomes a portion corresponding to the eyes of the lure body. For example, a member such as a seal resembling a fish's eye is attached to this portion to close the hole. Therefore, the outer shape of the lure body can be made to resemble a fish and appeal to a fish.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(Configuration overview)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a lure employing an embodiment of the present invention is a solid metal lure body 1 that is formed to resemble a fish body, and extends in the longitudinal direction inside the lure body 1. And a metal wire 2 disposed in the vicinity of the head. The eye 3 is connected to the head side end of the metal wire, and the fishing line 7 and the fishhook 6 are connected to the eye 3.
[0015]
The luer body 1 is a metal member made of lead, tungsten, or an alloy thereof. Various patterns and paintings are applied to the surface. A through hole 4 penetrating in the left-right direction is formed in the head of the lure body 1, and the outlets of the through holes 4 (left and right surfaces of the lure body 1) are made to resemble the eyes of a fish so as to close the through hole 4. Sealing members 5 are attached to each other.
[0016]
