Quick take
Portable battery-powered aerator that supplies oxygen to live bait for up to 40 hours, includes air stone and tubing.
A compact battery-powered bait aerator that runs on two D cells, so it works at the lake, on the boat or during a power outage. It moves up to 40 gallons of air per hour and suits buckets from about 5 to 30 gallons, with a metal clip to hold it on the rim. The air stone and tubing come stored inside the pump body, so you can set up aeration right away.
