Overview
This accessory kit converts a compatible WYLD Gear hard-sided cooler into an aeration setup for keeping bait or a catch of the day in oxygenated water. It includes a stainless steel bracket, 2-stage air pump, air hose, air stone, and a 12V power cord, with the pump also able to run on two D batteries, sold separately. The setup is straightforward: secure the bracket, mount the aerator, and route the hose through the cooler’s aerator ports. It is a practical add-on for anglers who want to turn an existing cooler into a bait station without adding a separate container.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a compatible WYLD Gear hard-sided cooler, which is not included, so this is an add-on rather than a standalone bait station.
- The air pump can run on (2) D batteries, but batteries are not included; using the included 12V power cord may be the more complete setup.
- Installation depends on the cooler’s aerator ports and bracket placement, so it is not a universal fit for every cooler setup.
- The kit is focused on aeration only, so it adds oxygen and circulation but does not replace a full livewell system.
