If it is, that is one slick idea.

I like that idea.  Have to let us know how it works.

Yes, the aerator is to keep the hole from icing up.  I have it secured to the vex with lock tape and extreme velcro.  Concept of the Ice defense, but this obviously doesn't have any warming component.  Some say it works well, others not so much...but with the clam lithium rechargeable having two air hoses I think it will do the trick as I haven't seen any examples of that n my searching.  Time will tell...

I use the Marine Metal Baby Bubbles aerator when I have an outside deadstick rod.  Can't really use a hole cover like with tip ups.  These work great for keeping the hole open.  Cost like $6 and uses 2 AAA batteries.

There's aquarium filter designs that use air pumps to move water, a short piece of PVC around your air hose could help move more water if the air hoses alone aren't cutting it.

Picture to explain concept, obviously you wouldn't need the sponge
