Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Fishing Pole
How to Draw a Great Looking Fishing Pole for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Draw two long curved lines that meet at a gentle point at one end. This part of the fishing rod goes by several names, including rod, pole, blank, and ferrule.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw an oval near the base of the pole. Then, draw a second oval, partially hidden by the first. Draw a curved line across the second oval, and connect each end to the first oval with a wavy line. This outlines the reel. Attach it to the pole by drawing the real seat. Enclose a small irregular shape on top of the reel. Then, use two curved lines to enclose another irregular shape between the reel and the pole.

Learn More About The Fishing Pole Drawing
The fishing rod is the tool most often used by recreational fishermen. The sport of fishing is also referred to as angling, and fishing equipment is known as tackle.
The oldest accounts of a fishing rod date to about the fourth century B.C.E. in China. The rod was made from bamboo, with a silk line and a hook made from a sewing needle. Early fish hooks made of stone, wood, or bone were called gorges.
The reel was invented in England during the 1700s. Since that time, the design of the fishing rod has remained relatively unchanged, with materials being replaced with stronger and lighter ones.

Interestingly, fishing methods have also been steady for hundreds of years. During the 1600s in Europe, a number of books were written on fly fishing. The same techniques are used by fly fishermen today either from a fishing boat or river shores.
