Abstract
Transfer sheets on which an image quite closely resembling an external appearance of a bait fish is color printed on the surface of a hologram sheet are adhered to back sides of bilaterally symmetrical body-half segments made of a flexible transparent thermoplastic resin in a state that the image can be viewed perspectively from the surface side. Only front head sides which occupy at least half in both the body-half segments are adhered and remaining rear end sides are kept open, by which a line equipped with a hook is guided out and wired to the front from the rear end sides via an interior hollow of a lure body.
Claims7
A fish shaped lure for trolling comprising;
- a pair of bilaterally symmetrical body-half segments molded into a configuration of a bait fish for fish to be caught by using a flexible transparent or translucent thermoplastic resin;
- and
- a pair of symmetrical transfer sheets in which an image identical or similar to an external appearance of the bait fish is color-printed on a hologram forming face of a hologram sheet which is substantially similar to each of the body-half segments in terms of dimension and configuration;
- wherein
- the pair of corresponding transfer sheets are adhered to the back sides of the body-half segments to provide an integrated body by using a colorless organic solvent or an adhesive agent in such a relationship that the image thereof can be viewed perspectively in a mixed state with a hologram image from the surface side of each of the body-half segments,
- while only front head sides of both the body-half segments which occupy at least half a fish shape are adhered in a bordered state by fusion of plasticizers used therein or by using the colorless organic solvent or the adhesive agent and assembled into a hollow lure body having a substantially oval cross section, rear end sides of both the body-half segments which occupy at most half the remaining fish shape are not adhered but kept open, and
- a line to which a hook has been integrally attached to the leading end thereof is inserted in advance from the rear end sides of the lure body which are kept open and guided out and wired in a mouth part of the front head sides, thereby the lure body is set so as to move along the line in a back and forth direction.
