I'm in the same boat. My Majority Radio has just packed up so I'm after a new one too.

Which August one did you have?

I have a couple of Pure Move radios somewhere but since the advent of cheap data sims I just use my phone with a small bluetoorh speaker or ear buds

I had this one.

Im tempted to spend a bit more and go for the jbl tuner 3. Well a little more than a bit more, it £100, but does bluetooth as well, and is from a proper brand rather than being an amazon special, and suggests its almost twice the battery life. But not sure if its compact enough, or actually worth the extra money

Get yourself a Robert's Radio. Reliable, lightweight and the batteries last forever!

For FM/AM radio the Roberts Sports 925 is pretty much unbeatable for fishing

That actually looks spot on, especially as it looks like ot will stand up quite happily on its own. Ive already ordered the pure though so will see how that goes. If i dont get on with it, that barrell will be my next purchase

I have an ibox barrel too. Very good and rechargeable via USB on power banks. Had mine for a while now and highly recommended

I'm not sure, but I think it was one of Gerry's recommendations . God bless him, that man has cost me so much money. Still thinking of you O.G.
