INVENTED BY FISHERMEN,
FOR FISHERMEN.
Chum Buddy™ was born from a simple idea: make chumming easier, more convenient, and accessible to everyday anglers.
Based in Sarasota, Florida, we’re passionate about fishing, boating, and spending time on the water. My son and I wanted a better way to bring chum directly to our fishing setups without relying on bulky equipment or old chumming methods that haven’t changed in years. I just wanted to catch more fish!
That idea became Chum Buddy™—a carefully engineered, reusable, patent-pending personal chumming system, forged from real-world experience and designed by fishermen, for fishermen. Veteran-owned, with Sarasota roots and a family that loves the water. You don’t need a boat; you just need Chum Buddy™.
HOW IT USED TO BE
A BUCKET, A MESS, AND NOW INNOVATION
For years, chumming meant a five-gallon bucket with a mess of chum or powder, a scoop, and hands you didn't want near your sandwich. It worked, but I don’t know anyone who’d call that groundbreaking or simple.
If you’re fortunate enough to have a boat, you might use a block of frozen chum that isn’t cheap and a chum cage. That works, of course, but not everyone has a boat, and that setup isn’t practical onshore. So we made a carefully engineered capsule with a perforated body, caps at both ends, and a sailboat-style keel to help keep it doing what you need it to do. Follow the model-specific rigging guidance, load it, and go catch fish!
