😎Phli you have given me a lot of memories I am going to have a go my friend won't be with me lost him to cancer but he will be with me roll on winter can't wait thank you so much for your great videos
Thank you Michael 🙂, I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Really sorry to hear about your friend, he will be looking down smiling when you catch that massive roach this winter! 🙂
Never fail to fascinate me with your fishing knowledge Phil. All those days around school fishing got you where you should be after all... top man
Thank you Carl, I hope your well mate?
@@philspinks4142 getting by fella. Just waiting for season. And I'll be out kayaking until then.
Phil I just wanted say Thankyou for your integrity,honesty and humbleness when you present your video’s it’s much appreciated. You’re an intelligent and excellent angler!
Thank you Lackeys leap, very kind 👍
An exceptional all round angler with incredible knowledge. Really enjoy watching Phil and these angling direct films. Great fishing and brilliant camera work.
Thank you Scott, I’m glad you enjoy the films. 👍
Excellent video as always Phil Spinks 👍👍
Thank you Leighton, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Another quality film!
I love Phil's videos, very relaxed and informative. Reminds me of John Wilson's early vids. My only complaint is why fishing editors have to play the music so loud? I'm constantly turning the volume down for the music then back up again to hear Phil speak. Most companies seem to do the same.
Lovely video. Mr. Spinks seems like a genuinely nice chap. Good to see so many nice roach still around. Hopefully the Avon project is going well too.
Thank you Matt, glad you enjoyed the video.
Love the way he says 4lb roach so calmly, I'd be like a 2 year old lol
Phil was definately very excited at the time! 😆
Love a bit of big roach fishing. Pretty little blank savers always top a bream haha
Ive only recently stumbled upon your videos phil and i have to say im finding them really enjoyable and imformative😊 your enthusiasm, Integrity and knowledge are clear to see and even though u seem to give advice and tips on certain tackle and equipment its obvious you dont try to plug specific manufacturers as much as most of the other videos seem to do, more so than concentrating on the actual fishing in my opinion. Its so refreshing.
I have always been into my tench fishing but after watching your videos i really want to get into this type of fishing.
Ive just placed a large order from Angling direct you will be pleased to know😂 im pretty confident i have eveything i need to get going. I do however have two questions if you would be kind enough to try too answer for me. Or at least shed some light on for me.
Firstly i would like to know if you think a shimano 4000 size baitfeeder reel would be ok for this. I was going to go for the 2500 but thought i could use the 4000 when im method feeder fishing aswel for carp on commercials.
Also would a medium 11 foot feeder rod with the 3oz tip be ok for the job. Save me having to fork out for a new 1lb test curve. I do have a 1.25 tc korum all rounder rod but worried this might be a little over-gunned and might bump a few off. I have seen on other videos that the 3oz tip could also help to reduce hook pulls.
Any replies would be greatly apreciated 👍🎣
Well done Phil brilliant video with some stunning roach
Quality roach,you dont get days like that very often in the winter,could of watched that all day 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Fishmad99.
Brilliant video, do you have a preference boilie wise? Kind regards Tony Banks
Loved this video Phil. Gonna try getting some roach this weekend now. What lake were you fishing, must have been in norfolk? I'm south of border in Suffolk.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video Paul, and that it’s inspired you to try for some roach. This was filmed at Homersfield lake on the Norfolk/Suffolk boarder.
Good luck this weekend...
Great video! What rods were you using?
Super video. What rods brand & TC was Phil using?

Hi Phil, would the helicopter rigs with the short hooklinks be suitable for roach fishing on a medium to pacey river ?
And not an Overstocked Carp in sight, proper Fishing!👍
Phil what is the size of you mini boilis, verey nice film as always
So what feature did you fish to and why that particular one (depth/ bottom profile)?
Very good, but that is one amazing venue! Not every lake holds that quantity and quality of roach so slightly unrealistic for your average angler.
Hello Peter, you would be surprised how many venues actually have specimen roach that hardly get targeted. I can think of several venues within an hour of my home where 2lb+ roach can be caught.
@@philspinks4142 so, is it not unreasonable to specifically target specimens of different fish species on typical mixed club and day ticket waters? How do you go about excluding other fish species, when using maggots and boilies is some of your preferred hook/baits, won't you just catch most other fish this way?
It's brilliant watching you catch what you were targeting, and would love to be able to do the same myself.
Thank you for the content,
Nero.
Were the rods Phil was using Advanta rods? And why don't Advanta do a 1lb test curve rod at the present time?
The Advanta RVS 11ft 1.25lb is perfect for this style of roach fishing and is Phil's current choice of roach/big perch rod.

What rods are you using???
Also, water that holds big Roach that is not syndicated. Lovely Video though.
Hi Michael, big roach can be hidden in many day ticket lakes. They are rarely targeted by design. It would be worth a walk around your local carp lakes at dusk to look for big roach rolling.
Local fishery to me on the specimen lake. Has got huge stamps of roach and bream. They never fished for with all the carp anglers on there, but they have got huge due to all carp bait what gets put in.
Could you use the same rods and reels for tench fishing?
Hi Bandit fishing, yep they would be fine for a spot of tench fishing.
Not allowed heli rigs, only free running what do yiu suggest??
Great vids
Hi John, perhaps a simple running rig but keep your hook length short, 4-5 inches. Make sure you fish a nice tight line too as that will help to hook them.
It's a shame you can't use the help rig as it is extremely effective and 100% safe.
Really nice video, what kind of Rod do you use for this type of fishing?
Did you select your spot by specific criterias?
Thanks in advance

Hi MP, Phil was using an 11’6” 1lb test curve. Rods between 1lb and 1.5lb test would be perfect.
Hi MP, my biggest tip for location would be looking for showing roach at dawn, they will tell you where to fish. I've caught them on gravel, sand, and silt . In the depth of winter the roach seem to prefer the main body of the lake. I tend to catch plenty of small roach in the margins and bays but the bigger fish are often at range.
If you fish close to the showing roach your bait will become the feature...
Thx for the hints
Hi Phil. Is this lake day ticket or syndicate please. Great fishing, would love to give it a try. I’m 68 now had 7, 2Lb roach in 64 years of fishing and would be a dream come true to catch a 3lber😃😃👍👍👍
Homersfield Lake I think. Syndicate, but you can pay him for a day’s tuition on the water.
bite alarms for roach? spods for roach?
Hello phil
Are you casting to the clip ? Or do you have a marker on the line. Thanks mate
Hello Jay, I leave the line in the clip. It’s very very rare I hook carp on my roach kit in the winter. The odd occasion it has happened I’ve managed to pull the line out the line clip when necessary.
@@philspinks4142 bit confused mate . Do you cast to the clip then reel some line back to enable fishing with a bobbin and alarm ? Thanks mate
By the time you have sunk the line and got the bow out caused by the cast you will have several turns on line on the spoil of the reel 👌
@@philspinks4142 thanks for replying mate .luv the video, specimen roach are stunning fish .
What hook size do u use for those roach?
Hi Jelle, I use Guru MWG in 16 or 14 for maggot fishing and the Guru QM1 hooks for mini boilies.
Sorry i meant baitrunner nit baitfeeder🙈😂
What flavour mini boilies do you use
Hi Jess, I prefer small fishmeal boils for big roach. The lakes I target big roach see lots of fishmeal pellets and think that's the reason why.
I've done particularly well on 10mm CCMoore tuna recently.
Regards
Phil,
@@AnglingDirectTV thanks phil great
Hi what rods are they?
Hello John,
They are the Advanta twin tip 11ft 1.25lb tc. That particular rod has recently been re-vamped. The new version has minima style guides making the rod lighter and a faster action 👌
