Frabil aerators

Why do they make Hush Bubbles and Quiet Bubbles? Which is quieter? Have to be better than this Engel

I don't think there is much difference and honestly they are poorly made. Best luck I have has thus far are the baby bubbles. Don't need much to keep bait alive when it's cold. Hot weather is a different story.

You guys must pound the crap out of yer gear. I've used the Quiet bubbles for over 15 years on my products, and never had an issue, and neither have my friends that use them. Mine get used continually Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, on the water and on the ice. I've never had an issue yet, and I still use my old originals on my Minnow Magics. One I just plain wore out after years. Frabills are junk IMO. I've used them. Personally I can't speak for the Engels, becaue if I haven't used an item, I make it a rule not to make a comment as to how good/bad it is, but I've heard they're worse than the Frabill's. Try a Quiet Bubbles and see.

I wish I had your luck maybe Ive just had lemons or Im treating my equipment badly. I would say in 8 years Ive had to buy 3-4 aerators. The baby bubbles have been going strong for 2 years now.

My mistake, I thought both were Frabill. They have whisper quiet bubbles.

Loud aerators... I hate 'em. Frabill had a "whisper quiet" aerator but seems to have been discoed. Magic Bubbles... Loud. Quiet Bubbles... not so quiet.

The Engle unit is garbage.

Been running a Frabill (till it drops) and a Flambeau (new to me). We'll see how it goes.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

Quiet and Hush are both Metal Marine not Frabill. Why both, again, any difference?
