I’ve used this aerator for several fishing trips now. The minnows stay active and healthy even when stored in a bucket. It floats smoothly and doesn’t touch the sides. Works well with short intervals to extend runtime. Easy to set up and reliable.

Great for keeping bait fresh during long breaks. The air stone is effective and the design prevents contact with container walls. I use it every time I go fishing. Slightly heavier than expected, but worth it.
