JP7700082B2 - Tenya and the piercing hooks used for it - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to fishing tackle, and in particular to a fishing tackle used when fishing for fish such as hairtail fish and sea bream, and a hook used therefor.

Conventionally, when fishing for fish such as sea bream and hairtail fish, a tenya rig with a weight and a hook attached as one unit has been known. A special rig (also called a hairtail tenya) has been used for hairtail fishing. Specifically, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a linear shaft is attached to the back of a weight part (head) that imitates the head of a fish to which the fishing line from the reel is fastened, and the tip of the shaft is a needle part (hook part) that curves downward.

In addition, in this type of device, multiple needles are provided on the upper side of the shaft, and bait such as sardines or pacific saury is inserted into these hooks and fixed in place by winding a wire around them. When a fish such as a hairtail fish bites the bait, the fishing rod is raised to hook it, and the needles are inserted around the fish's mouth, allowing it to be pulled up.

JP 2015-192607 A JP 2018-38320 A

When casting the tenya into the water and moving the fishing rod up and down and left and right, it is required that the tenya stably hold the bait attached to it in order to increase catches. In recent years, people have started to catch larger fish such as hairtails, and as a result, the size of the bait has become larger, so there is a need for the bait to be fixed more stably. However, in the devices disclosed in all of the patent documents, the bait is simply pierced and fixed with multiple needles on the upper side of the shaft, and even if the wire is wound around it, there is a problem that it is difficult to stably fix the bait to the device.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a tenya and a needle used therewith that are equipped with a rotatable and detachable needle, and thus can accommodate baits of various sizes and can stably fix the bait. Other objects of the present invention will become clear by referring to the entire specification.

The following describes in detail an embodiment of a tenya and a piercing needle used therein according to the present invention with reference to the attached drawings. Components common to multiple drawings are given the same reference numerals throughout the multiple drawings. Please note that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale for ease of explanation.

Figures 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a tenya 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a diagram showing a state in which bait is fixed to the tenya 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a diagram showing a state in which bait is fixed to the second needle of the tenya 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The tenya (or fishing tenya) 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable for use when fishing for hairtail fish and sea bream, but is not limited to any particular fish (in this specification, it will be referred to as tenya).

As shown in the figure, the tenaya 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a weight 2 that mimics the shape of a fish's head, a fishing hook 3 that is attached to the weight 2 and has a shaft 4 (extending horizontally (left and right directions on the paper in Figs. 1 and 2)) and a needle 5 at the tip of the shaft 4, a first needle 6 that is attached to the upper side of the shaft 4 (the upper side of the horizontally extending shaft 4 in the vertical direction on the paper in Figs. 1 and 2) and protrudes upward to hold bait 20 such as sardines or pacific saury, and a second needle 10 (details will be described later) that is attached to the weight 2 so as to be rotatable with respect to the weight 2. The horizontal direction mentioned above includes not only the direction as shown in the figure, but also a substantially horizontal direction.

Above the weight section 3 (upper side in the vertical direction of the paper in Figs. 1 and 2) and below (lower side in the vertical direction of the paper in Figs. 1 and 2), ring-shaped members (or rings) 7 (7a, 7b, 7c) are provided. Of these, the upper ring 7a is fitted with a snap fastened to the fishing line (line, etc.) from the reel, the upper ring 7b is fitted with the end of the second stinger 10, which will be described in detail later, and the lower ring 7c is fitted with a wire for fixing the weight, hook, or bait, or a snap fastened to the fishing line (line, etc.) from the reel by inverting the tackle upside down. Note that the ring-shaped member 7 can be of various shapes, structures, and dimensions for attaching members, and is not limited to a specific form. Also, instead of the ring-shaped member 7, a through hole for attaching members may be provided in the weight section 3.

The shaft 4 provided on the weight 2 is inserted and fixed into the weight 3 so as to extend horizontally or approximately horizontally backward (to the right side of the paper in the figure), and a needle 5 is formed at its tip. A first needle 6 is provided on the upper side of the shaft 4, and there may be one or more first needles 6 to insert the bait 20 on the upper side of the shaft 4, and three needles are provided in the illustrated example (needles 6a to 6c). In this case, the first needle 6a on the weight 2 side is formed approximately L-shaped and inserted and fixed into the weight 2, and the first needles 6b and 6c on the needle 5 side are formed approximately U-shaped and fixed to the shaft 4, for example, by welding.

Materials for constructing the shaft 4 and needle 5 include, but are not limited to, steel, stainless steel, etc. Stainless steel is particularly preferable as it is less prone to rust. In addition, the axial length of the needle 5 is preferably less than half the axial length of the shaft 4, since if it is too long, it is prone to deformation when hooking or removing a fish.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the Tenya 1 is used by attaching a connecting part such as a snap or swivel fastened to the fishing line (such as a fishing line lead) to the ring 7a of the weight section 2, inserting bait 20 into the second needle 10 (described in detail below) provided on the weight section 2 and the first needle 6 provided on the upper side of the shaft section 5, and wrapping and fixing a wire (such as a fishing line or wire) around it.

More specifically, it is assumed that the bait 20 is first inserted into the second needle 10 shown in FIG. 1, and then the second needle 10 is rotated in the direction of the first needle 6 relative to the weight portion 2, so that the bait 20 is inserted into the first needle 6.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a tenya 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a weight section 2, a fishing hook 3 attached to the weight section 2 and having a shaft section 4 and a needle section 5 provided at the tip side of the shaft section 4, a first needle 6 provided on the upper side of the shaft section 4 and for inserting and holding bait 20, and a second needle 10 rotatably and detachably provided on the weight section 2 and for inserting and holding bait, and the second needle 10 is configured to include an engagement section 11 that engages with the weight section 2, a holding section 12 into which the bait 20 is inserted, and a connection section 13 that connects the engagement section 11 and the holding section 12.

According to the tenya 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, by providing a rotatable and detachable needle, it is possible to provide a tenya that can accommodate baits of various sizes and can stably fix the bait. More specifically, by inserting the second needle 10 into the bait 20, the bait 20 is fixed in the horizontal direction (the left and right direction of the paper in Figures 1 and 2), and by rotating the second needle 10 and pushing the bait 20 into the first needle 6, the bait 20 is supported from below. Therefore, support according to the center of gravity of the bait 20 is possible, and baits 20 of various sizes are unlikely to come off, and can be stably held while suppressing positional deviation in the lateral direction, etc. In particular, as shown in Figure 1, by fixing the bait 20 in an arrangement in which the first needle 6a is sandwiched between a pair of linear members 12a and 12b of the second needle 10, stable support is possible. In addition, by making it detachable, it can be removed and used when using small bait 20 such as a fillet of pacific saury. As shown in FIG. 1, the axial length of the second needle 10 is preferably longer than the length between the ring-shaped member 7b of the weight portion 2 and the first needle 6a. This allows the end of the second needle 10 to be positioned between the first needle 6a and the first needle 6b, making it possible to more firmly fix the bait 20.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, the overall configuration of the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention used in the tenya 1 will be described. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the second piercing needle 10. As shown in the figure, in the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking portion 11 is formed in a U-shape (in this specification, the U-shape includes an approximately U-shape), the holding portion 12 is composed of a pair of extending linear members 12a, 12b, the connecting portion 13 is composed of a pair of linear members 13a, 13b extending from the holding portion 12, and the pair of linear members 13a, 13b are configured to be connected to the locking portion 11 so as to cross each other (albeit at a predetermined distance apart). In this way, the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention can be easily removed from the weight portion 2 of the tenya 1 when necessary while preventing easy detachment of the second piercing needle 10 from the weight portion 2. This makes it possible to select and attach different hooks to the weight section to accommodate different sizes of bait.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention used in the Tenya 1 will be described in more detail. FIG. 4(a) shows the second piercing needle 10 as viewed from the front, FIG. 4(b) shows the second piercing needle 10 as viewed from above, and FIG. 4(c) shows the second piercing needle 10 as viewed from the right side. As shown in FIG. 4(a), in the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the pair of linear members 12a, 12b of the holding portion 12 are configured to extend with an interval of 3 mm to 12 mm (the interval in the vertical direction in FIG. 4(b)). By configuring in this way, it is easy to pierce the bait 20 and it can be stably supported. More preferably, by setting the interval to 4 mm to 7 mm, it is possible to fix along the spine of the bait 20 and hold it stably, especially when a large bait 20 such as a large sardine is used when fishing for a hairtail fish.

As shown in Figures 4(a), (b), and (c), in the second puncture needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the pair of linear members 13a, 13b of the connection part 13 are configured to extend so as to cross each other with a gap of 3 mm to 12 mm (the gap in the vertical direction in Figure 4(c)). This gives the second puncture needle 10 a twisted configuration, and once it is engaged with the weight part 2, it is not easily removed.

As shown in FIG. 4(b), in the second puncture needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the holding section 12 is configured to include a curved section 14 formed by curving, and a restricting section 15 that serves to restrict the movement of the bait 20 when the bait 20 is inserted. This configuration makes it easier to insert the second puncture needle 10 into the bait 20, and makes it difficult to remove after insertion, and allows for stable holding. Here, it is preferable that the distance between the curved section 14 and the restricting section 15 is, for example, 2 mm to 3 mm in terms of the radius of curvature. This makes it less likely that the second puncture needle 10 will be too small for the bait 20 and easily remove from the bait 20, or that the second puncture needle 10 will be too large for the bait 20 and cannot be inserted into the bait 20. This makes it possible to fix bait of a wider range of sizes.

Next, referring to Figures 4(b) and 5, the end structure of the holding portion 11 of the second puncture needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in the figures, in the second puncture needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the regulating portion 15 is formed as a folded portion 16 that is folded back from the curved portion 14. By configuring it in this manner, the second puncture needle 10 as a whole can support the bait 20 horizontally, while the folded portion 16 can further dig into the bait 20, making it difficult for the bait 20 to move.

In the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the folded portion 16 is inclined at α degrees, for example, in the range of 5 degrees to 40 degrees, with respect to the center line of the end of the curved portion 14 (perpendicular to the end face of the end) or the tangent of the end. This configuration makes it easier to pierce the bait 20 and allows for stable support. More preferably, by setting the α degree in the range of 10 degrees to 30 degrees, it becomes possible to make it difficult for the needle to come out of the bait 20 or to jump out of the bait 20.

Here, the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a locking portion 11 that is locked to the weight portion 2 of the tenya 1, but the weight portion 2 may be provided with a ring-shaped member, and the locking portion 11 may be configured to be locked to the ring-shaped member.

In addition, the second piercing needle 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention has an engaging portion 11 that engages with the weight portion 2 of the tenya 1, but the weight portion 2 may also be provided with a through hole, and the engaging portion 11 may be configured to engage with the through hole.

The dimensions, materials, and arrangement of each component described in this specification are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component can be modified to have any dimensions, materials, and arrangement that can be included in the scope of the present invention. In addition, components not explicitly described in this specification can be added to the described embodiments, and some of the components described in each embodiment can be omitted.
