There is known a line eye that is provided on the reel and fixes the tip of the line fed out from the reel (see Patent Document 1).

In addition, as a fishing lure, a pair of left and right rods that swing in the front and rear direction with the base end inserted into a long plate-shaped tool that is attached at both the front and back ends to the left and right sides of the lure body, respectively. Some have individual wings. The base end of each blade is brought into contact with a regulating piece provided on both the left and right sides of the lure body so as to restrict the backward swinging of each blade. Some are designed to be expanded in a direction substantially perpendicular to the main body. In this case, both front and rear ends of the elongated tool are attached to both left and right side surfaces of the lure body by fasteners.

JP2019-187248A

However, with the lures described above that have blades on both the left and right sides of the lure body, the blades are spread out in a direction substantially perpendicular to both the left and right sides of the lure body when the line is being wound up or towed by a ship, etc. A large load of water acts on the blades, which may cause the blades to become deformed.

In that case, it is necessary to replace the blades, but if both the front and rear ends of the long tool are attached with fasteners, both the front and rear fasteners must be removed, and the task of replacing the blades is becomes extremely troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and its object is to provide a fishing lure whose blades can be easily replaced.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a lure body, a hook eye provided at the lower end of the lure body to which the hook is attached, and a hook eye provided at the front end of the lure body to fix the tip of the line fed out from the reel. A fishing lure equipped with a line eye is assumed. Further, a pair of left and right blades are provided on both left and right sides of the lure body, respectively, so that the blades swing in the front and back direction with their base ends inserted into long plate-shaped tools that are attached at both the front and back ends and are long in the front and back direction. At the same time, a regulating piece is provided that contacts each wing in a state where it is spread out in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lure main body so as to regulate rearward swinging of each wing. Each of the elongated tools includes a support that fixes one end of the front and back ends of the elongated tool to the lure body in a manner that cannot be detached from the lure body, and supports the other end of the elongated tool so as to be rotatable about the axis of the one end. Each of the elongated tools is screwed onto both left and right side surfaces of the lure body corresponding to the attachment position of the other end of the elongated tool, and is inserted through a cut hole provided at the other end of each of the elongated tools. A fastener that tightens the other end, and rotation of the one end around an axis to prevent contact with the regulating piece when the long tool is inserted into the fastener through the cut hole at the other end of the long tool. The invention is characterized by the provision of a cutout hole to avoid the problem.

Further, the lure main body may be divided into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction, and the divided pieces that are adjacent to each other may be connected to each other so as to be able to bend in the left-right direction via a plurality of vertical joints.

Furthermore, the fastener may be tightened and loosened using a Phillips screwdriver.

In short, when removing each feather from both the left and right sides of the lure body, loosen the fasteners and attach each long tool, one end of which is irremovably fixed to the lure body by the support tool, to the shaft of the support tool at one end. When the long tool is rotated, the other end will separate from the fastener through the notched hole, the regulating piece will separate from the notched hole, and each blade will be removed from the other end, which is now the free end of each long tool. It will be done. On the other hand, when attaching each blade to both the left and right sides of the lure body, insert the base end of the new blade through the other end of each long tool and rotate the other end of each long tool around the axis of the support tool. Then, the fastener is inserted through the notched hole at the other end of each long tool, and the regulating piece is inserted into the notched hole, and the fastener is tightened against the other end of each long tool. Each blade is attached. Thereby, when replacing each blade, it is only necessary to remove the loosened fastener from one of the front and rear sides of the elongated tool from the cut hole, and the work of replacing each blade can be easily performed.

Furthermore, by connecting the divided pieces of the lure body into a plurality of pieces so that they can bend in the left and right directions using a plurality of joints in the vertical direction, it is possible to change the behavior of the lure body underwater in a way that is close to the real thing.

Furthermore, by tightening and loosening the fasteners with a Phillips screwdriver, there is no need to prepare a dedicated tool as long as you have a Phillips screwdriver, which is highly portable, making the tool more versatile.
