RAPALA PORTABLE BAIT AERATOR

Rapala Portable Bait Aerator is an essential portable aeration pump designed for anglers who need to keep live bait—such as baitfish, shrimp, crabs, or worms—active, healthy, and vigorous throughout long fishing trips. Built for boat, kayak, and shore anglers, this compact aerator delivers continuous oxygen transfer into livewells, buckets, and bait containers.

Engineered to oxygenate water volumes up to 22 liters (approx. 5.8 gallons), the pump provides constant airflow to keep target bait species alive. It comes equipped with a 60 cm flexible air hose and a weighted air stone (micro-bubble diffuser) that breaks down air into fine bubbles to maximize oxygen dissolution into the water. Offering an impressive battery runtime of up to 30 hours of continuous operation, it covers multi-day trips or extended tournament fishing effortlessly. A heavy-duty metal clip on the back allows the aerator to be mounted securely onto the rim of any bucket or cooler. Powered by 4 AA batteries (not included), it delivers total cordless convenience on the water.
