How to Draw a Cartoon Fishing
Drawing a simple cartoon fishing lure like the one you see above - really is easy to do! This particular lure - known as a spoon - is very similar to one of the most popular types around... the Acme Little Cleo.
I decided to go with a 'blue and silver' color scheme, but also popular colors, are 'green and silver', 'orange and silver'... and yellow with orange dots. But then again - you might want to go for the ultimate 'Pike Lure' - a Red Devil. Here, red and white stripes would do the trick!
Let's begin.
First Step - A Simple Framework

Here's how to draw it!
And of course - when you're all done... give your lure some color!
Well, that's all there is to it. Hope you enjoyed this super-simple drawing lesson. :-)
