Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an eye like the real one in a lure made of a soft elastomer, hardly causing peeling off and having three-dimensional feeling. SOLUTION: A recess 8 which has a ring-like projection 11 on the circumference thereof is formed previously at the part at which the eye of the main body 2 of the lure composed of a styrene-based elastomer is formed. After a bottom sheet 9 of a plastic, a metal or the like is set in the recess 8, a mixed solution of toluene which is a solvent, and the styrene-based elastomer is poured into the recess 8 from the upper part of the bottom sheet 9 so that the solution may be raised. The styrene-based elatomer is dried and solidified according to the evaporation of the solvent to bond and fix strongly to the main body 2 of the lure. As the result, the soft lens part 10 is formed in the recess 8 so as to protrude.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To impart more natural movements to a lure made from a soft plastic and moderate an unnatural eat feeling on a fish bite. SOLUTION: This lure is obtained by attaching pieces of natural fur and feather on the lure body made from the soft plastic. The pieces of the fur and feather are constituted as one piece by arranging them in a mold cavity on molding the lure body. The piece of the fur and feather may be attached at the both ends of the worm type lure so that the lure is used by mounting a hook at the middle part.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a lure having such two functions as to have a shape suggesting a small fish or polychaete and attract fishes as a result of springing/ jumping in water through water resistance and reflecting rays of light. SOLUTION: This lure 1 is such one as to be formed of a spiral 2 around an imaginary axis with a given width (e.g. 1-20 mm) so as to be slant relative to the axis; wherein the pitch of the spiral 2 becomes greater from the beginning part toward the terminal end. This lure 1 is obtained by the following alternative methods: a tape-like steel material is made by a spring-making technique; scraps produced in machining a stainless steel material are cut to a desired length (about 10 cm) and then chamfered by acid treatment and subsequently put to shiny color development by a well-known chemical treatment; or, a highly soft elastic plastic material is molded.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soft lure made of a biodegradable resin, with which a gloss material or a coloring material does not remain in the natural kingdom for a long period of time, the whole soft lure is degraded in a short period of time and influence on the environment is minimized even in the case of adding the gloss material or the coloring material to a soft lure main body made of the biodegradable resin to improve fish luring effect and the gloss material or the coloring material is readily and inexpensively produced. SOLUTION: The soft lure 1 made of the biodegradable resin is obtained by adding the rayon fiber having gloss to the soft lure main body made of the biodegradable resin. The rayon fiber having gloss as a gloss material added to the soft lure main body appeals to a fish and improves fish luring effect. Since the rayon fiber is hydrophilic, readily dyed and useful as a glossy coloring material, labor for metallizing after dyeing is omitted and the coloring material is readily and inexpensively produced.

JIG HEAD

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a jig head attracting the attenuation of fish in water, capable of imparting subtle movement resembling a bait to a worm attached thereto, and preventing the jig head from snagging. SOLUTION: This jig head has a head part (4) arranged so as to wrap the periphery of a sinker part (20) composed of a material having a large specific gravity, a nearly U-shaped hook part (21) Patent  protruding from the upper part of the head part (4) in the nearly upper direction, a line-engaging part (23) installed in the front side in the progressing direction of the head part (4), a lip part (1) extending from the upper part of the head part (4) at the rear side in the progressing direction, and a keel part (2) as a stream-regulating plate, installed so as to form an angle to the lip part (1). A concave part (3) for receiving the water current is formed on the lower surface of the lip part (1).
