Description

  The present invention relates to a lure used for fishing. Specifically, the present invention relates to a lure having a metal body and a method for manufacturing the lure.

  The yellowtail, its juveniles, etc. feed on small fish as baits. These large fish are called fish eaters. Lure fishing is widely used as a means of capturing fish eaters. In lure fishing, lures are used. The fish eater who misunderstood this lure as bait bites the lure. The hook attached to the lure pierces the fish eater and the fish eater is picked up.

  A metal jig is used as a kind of this lure. This metal jig is used by being settling on a target shelf in the sea. For this reason, it is required to settle quickly to the target shelf. Depending on the target point, a long flight distance is required. In order to settle quickly and fly far, it is advantageous that the specific gravity is large.

  Conventionally, lead is used in the body of this lure. A hook eye and a line eye are fixed to the body. A hook is attached to the hook eye. A line is connected to the line eye. The hook eye and the line eye made of a metal wire are fixed to the body in a process of solidifying molten lead in a mold.

A metal jig with a fast settling speed quickly reaches the target shelf in the sea. A metal jig with a long flight distance can aim at a wide range of points. From this point of view, tungsten or a tungsten alloy having a large specific gravity has been used for the lure body.
JP 2002-27868 A JP 2001-86903 A

  The body made of tungsten or tungsten alloy is obtained by sintering metal powder. This body is obtained by sintering at a high temperature at which the metal wire melts. For this reason, in this sintering process, the hook eye and the line eye cannot be fixed integrally. For this reason, holes or grooves are formed in the body made of tungsten or tungsten alloy. A hook eye and a line eye are attached using this hole or groove.

  The surface of the lure body is painted with patterns that attract fish eaters. Tungsten or a tungsten alloy is inferior in paint adhesion. For this reason, in the body which consists of tungsten or a tungsten alloy, it takes time to paint. In a body made of tungsten or a tungsten alloy, the number of manufacturing steps is increased as compared with a body made of lead.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a lure having a large specific gravity, excellent adhesion between a body and a coating layer, and which can be easily manufactured.

  The lure according to the present invention includes a body, a wire, and a coating layer. This body is made of tungsten or a tungsten alloy. This body is provided with a groove. This wire consists of a metal wire. This wire is arranged in the groove of the body. The covering layer fills the groove and covers the surface of the body.

  Preferably, the coating layer of the lure is made of tin, tin alloy, lead, lead alloy or synthetic resin. Preferably, the luer wire is provided with a hook eye. Preferably, the luer wire comprises a line eye. Preferably, this lure is provided with a paint layer. This coating layer is formed on the surface of the coating layer.

The method for producing a lure according to the present invention is as follows:
Preparing a body made of tungsten or a tungsten alloy and having a groove;
Preparing a wire made of a metal wire;
Arranging the wire in the groove of the body;
Coating the surface of the body with the groove in which the wire is disposed;
including.

  The lure according to the present invention has a higher specific gravity than a lure having a body made of lead. In this lure, the step of fixing the wire to the body and the step of covering the surface of the body are performed in one step. This lure is excellent in the adhesion of the paint layer. This lure can be easily manufactured.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with appropriate reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a lure 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention together with a hook 4 and an assist hook 6. FIG. 2 is a front view in which a part of the lure 2 of FIG. 1 is cut away. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. For convenience of explanation, the vertical direction of FIG. 1 is the vertical direction of the lure 2. The direction perpendicular to the paper surface is the left-right direction of the lure 2. The left-right direction in FIG. 1 is the rear, and the right-hand direction is the front. The lure 2 includes a body 8, a wire 10, a coating layer 12 and a coating layer 14.

  The body 8 is made of a tungsten alloy. The body 8 is obtained by sintering metal powder. Tungsten may be used for the body 8. The body 8 has a shape resembling a bait. The body 8 has a plate shape in which the thickness in the left-right direction gradually increases from the upper part toward the lower part.

  A groove 16, a groove 18, and a groove 20 are formed on one of the left and right side surfaces. The grooves 16, 18 and 20 are formed along the surface of the body 8. The groove 16 extends continuously from the upper end 22 to the lower end 24 of the body 8. A double arrow L1 in FIG. 2 indicates the length of the groove 16 in the vertical direction. The groove 18 extends from the upper end 22 of the body 8 to the middle of the body 8 in the vertical direction. The lower end 26 of the groove 18 extends to the vicinity of the center of the body 8. In the groove 18, the lower tip 26 is bent forward. The groove 20 extends from the lower end 24 of the body 8 to the middle of the body 8 in the vertical direction. The upper end 28 above the groove 20 extends to the middle between the center of the body 8 and the lower end 24. The tip 28 above the groove 20 is bent forward.

  4 is a front view showing the wire 10 of the lure 2 of FIG. The wire 10 is a metal wire having a circular cross section. The wire 10 is made of steel or stainless steel. The wire 10 has a folded portion 30 that is folded upward. The folded wire 10 extends downward. The tip 32 extending downward is bent forward. On the other hand, the wire 10 is folded downward to form a folded portion 34. The folded wire 10 extends upward. The tip 36 extending upward is bent forward. A double-headed arrow L2 indicates the length of the wire 10 from the folded portion 30 to the folded portion 34. The diameter of the wire 10 is smaller than the groove width of the grooves 16, 18 and 20 of the body 8.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the wire 10 is disposed in the grooves 16, 18 and 20 of the body 8. By arranging the wire 10 on the body 8, a hook eye 38 is formed on the upper portion of the wire 10. A hook eye 40 is formed under the wire 10.

  The coating layer 12 shown in FIG. 3 is made of a lead alloy. The covering layer 12 is provided on the surface of the body 8. The covering layer 12 fills the grooves 16, 18 and 20 and covers the surface of the body 8. In the lure 2, the coating layer 12 covers the entire surface of the body 8. The covering layer 12 also enters the gap between the grooves 16, 18 and 20 and the wire 10. Thereby, the wire 10 is fixed to the body 8. The coating layer 12 is solidified at room temperature and melted at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the wire 10 melts. The covering layer 12 may be made of synthetic resin such as lead, tin, tin alloy or ABS resin.

  The coating layer 14 is typically formed of a paint based on polyurethane. The coating layer 14 is provided on the surface of the coating layer 12. In the lure 2, the coating layer 14 covers the entire surface of the coating layer 12. The paint layer 14 forms a pattern on the lure 2 that attracts interest to the fish eater. Examples of this pattern include a pattern resembling a bait such as a small fish, and a conspicuous color pattern. The coating layer 14 may be subjected to hologram processing.

  The hook 4 shown in FIG. 1 is a so-called single hook. The hook 4 is connected to the hook eye 40 of the lure 2. A triple hook, a double hook, or the like may be used for the hook 4. The assist hook 6 includes hooks 46 and 48 tied to Harris 42 and 44. The Harris 42 and 44 are connected to the line eye 38. A line extending from a reel (not shown) is connected to the line eye 38.

  FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing the manufacturing process of the lure 2. The manufacturing method of the lure 2 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 5A shows a cross section of the tungsten alloy piece 50. Instead of this tungsten alloy piece 50, a tungsten piece may be used. The tungsten alloy piece 50 is obtained by sintering metal powder. The outer shape of the tungsten alloy piece 50 is matched to the outer shape of the body 8. Grooves 16, 18 and 20 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the tungsten alloy piece 50. Thus, the body 8 is obtained. FIG. 5B shows a cross section of the body 8. The grooves 16, 18 and 20 are formed by cutting. Thus, the body 8 is prepared. The grooves 16, 18 and 20 may be molded by a process of obtaining a sintered body from metal powder.

  A stainless steel wire (not shown) is bent. As shown in FIG. 4, an upper folded portion 30 is formed on this wire. A tip 32 extending downward from the folded portion 30 is bent forward. On the other hand, the folded portion 34 is formed by folding back below the wire 10. A tip 36 extending upward from the folded portion 34 is bent forward. In this way, the wire 10 is obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the wire 10 is disposed in the grooves 16, 18 and 20 of the body 8. The length L2 of the wire 10 is longer than the length L1 of the groove 16 of the body 8. The folded portion 30 of the wire 10 is protruded and fitted from the upper end of the body 8. The folded portion 34 is protruded and fitted from the lower end of the body 8.

  The body 8 fitted with the wire 10 is inserted into a mold. The folded portions 30 and 34 of the wire 10 are positioned outside this mold. The folded portions 30 and 34 are supported. Molten lead alloy is poured into this mold. The molten lead alloy also enters the gap between the grooves 16, 18 and 20 and the wire 10. This molten lead alloy covers the surface of the body 8. As shown in FIG. 5D, the molten lead alloy is solidified to form the coating layer 12. The wire 10 is fixed to the body 8 by the covering layer 12. The folded portions 30 and 34 of the wire 10 protrude from the coating layer 12.

  On the surface of the coating layer 12, a paint based on polyurethane is applied. Thereby, as shown in FIG.5 (e), the coating layer 14 is formed. The lead alloy coating layer 12 and the polyurethane-based coating are excellent in adhesion. Thereby, the coating layer 14 is easily formed in the coating layer 12. Thus, the lure 2 according to the present invention is obtained.

  In the manufacturing method according to the present invention, the step of fixing the wire 10 to the body 8 and the step of covering the surface of the body 8 are performed in one step. In this step, a coating layer having excellent adhesion to the coating layer is formed. Thereby, it can paint easily compared with tungsten or a tungsten alloy, and can paint more beautifully. According to this manufacturing method, the manufacturing man-hour of the lure 2 provided with the body 8 of tungsten or a tungsten alloy can be reduced.

  The lure 2 according to the present invention is cast at a target point. Since the body 8 of the lure 2 is made of a tungsten alloy, the specific gravity is larger than that of lead. Thereby, this lure 2 can be made heavy without increasing the volume. This lure 2 can be cast further. This lure 2 can be cast to a wider range of points. Furthermore, this lure 2 settles faster. This lure 2 reaches the target shelf earlier. This lure 2 is not easily affected by the flow of the tide.

  The present invention can be applied to fishing lures targeting various fish.
