About Us

Beach Bum Lures was formed in North Carolina by Tim Still, who began his lure-making career in his backyard with a shoe box, a few lead blanks, a couple cans of spray paint and an oversized imagination. Tim, a former college and professional baseball player, started saltwater fishing on the piers and beaches around Virginia Beach and Norfolk. From years of pier and surf fishing for bluefish, spanish mackerel, trout and false albacore, Tim was determined to break the industry molds with new color combinations, patterns and the belief that mostly whatever you can catch from a boat, it’s possible to also catch from the beach, and that Beach Bum Lures can compete with any other lure company. Our flagship metal jig, the Gunslinger Jig TM, is a direct reflection of our mentality: Cast far, reel fast and fight to the finish, win or lose.

Surf Fishing Lures

The Gunslinger Jig is offered in weights of 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1.5 and 2 ounces. The slender design and loop eyelets created maximum action near the surface, triggering reaction strikes from many species of predator fish that patrol the surf zone. The Gunslinger, with the right combination of rod, reel and line, casts as well as any lure in the metals category, will outcast most and is coated with a hard layer of finish for durability.

Pier Fishing Lures

The Pierslinger, the first of its kind, brings a new dimension to pier fishing. The eyelet placement on top of the jig allows the jig to maintain a horizontal trek through the water despite the angler being elevated above the lure. What we have created is the most realistic moving and looking metal jig designed specifically for pier fishing or any situation in which the angler is elevated. We believe the Pierslinger will be the go-to pier metal in the industry.

Offshore Fishing Lures

The Wreck Havoc vertical jig offers the same innovative patterns and color combinations as the Gunslinger series. Whether you are targeting tuna, yellowtail, grouper, kings, or snapper, the Wreck Havoc jig gets the job done in style. Say goodbye to the cookie cutter patterns and gimmicks. The idea of this jig was to create a jig with actual fish characteristics – eyes, scales and flash. All patterns and colors also glow for fishing the depths.

"You should see my spoon boxes. You can tell I've been searching for the right one. The colors, shapes, sizes from as many manufacturers as tackle shops can get a hold of. Some colors are worn to bare metal. That's telling of how much fish like that color. The problem is, finding jigging spoons with the color that stays on when the fish tell you what they like. I use my spoons in rough neighborhoods. Barnacle-encrusted dock and bridge pilings, piles of rock forming jetties, live bottom ledges, artificial reefs, and wrecks. These places give shelter to what my targets are after, so my spoons get down in there. From Red Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Bluefish, and Grey Trout to Black Seabass, Kings, Bonito, Spanish, Amberjack, and Albies, all of these fish are brutal on our lures. All of them won't think twice about smacking a Gunslinger."

"I target multiple species. My go-to from are the 3/4 oz, 1oz and 2oz. When fish are picky and keyed in on live bait that 3/4 is FIRE and works everytime. The 1oz jigs, have that smaller profile for those pickier fish but cast a football field’s length!. Fish I've caught using Gunslingers are: Striped bass, bluefish, False Albacore, Spanish Mackerel, frigate Mackerel, Atlantic Bonito, Tautog, Scup, Black Sea bass, Fluke/flounder, and choggys. These Jigs work, and I guarantee you won't be looking back after scooping a few!"

"I have been using the Gunslinger lures the last few seasons to target False Albacore up north on Martha’s Vineyard and down south off the shores of Atlantic Beach. The Gunslinger flat out catches fish!!! The tremendous finish and vibrant color schemes have produced in two distinct fisheries! The lures are durable! Hold up to a beating and you never have to worry about the resin chipping away. I always carry the Gunslinger in my bag and most times will start with a Gunslinger! You make a fantastic product and I have been consistently adding to my collection every chance that I have."

"I started using Tim’s Gunslingers and Skinny Minnow. I've never had an Issue with them. From bluefish, striped bass to bonito, false albacore. They do not disappoint."

"I ordered beach Beach Bums over summer 2021 for our fall run here in Rockaway beach, NY. They worked great on Stripers, bluefish, and albies. The colors are amazing and the cast exceptionally well."

"I used to be a Maria and Hogy exclusive fisherman for funny fish. Up here in New England False Albacore, Atlantic Bonita, and Spanish Mack's are the desired species. I stumbled across Beach Bum lures a few years ago and decided to give them a shot. I shot Tim a message and ordered half a dozen of his Gunslinger 1 oz. When they arrived, I fished the hell out of them. I got more distance and a better presentation. They have held up against all those species and even 10 lb blues. I love these jigs and will continue to use them because they catch fish."
