All good things must come to an end but there's always room for a little more bankside humour from the finalists Ian Russell and Lee Morris.
Lee Mozza Morris talks us through the intricacies of his preferred maggot rig, involving PVA mesh, plastic corn, a couple of hooks of different sizes, and, naturally, a few handfuls of maggots - sounds complex, but there is logic behind it all.
This one tiny thing is something that Ian picked up from some serious match fishing masters, and he reckons it gives him the tiny edge that can be oh so important. Try it yourself next time you're out fishing!
Ian’s PVA Clip Rig
01:35
Ian reveals another of his secret weapons and tells us when and where to he uses his PVA clip rig.
The pressure of a must-win match-up and a chance of a place in the final seems to have sent Iain 'Ting Tong' Macmillan and Lee 'Mozza' Morris loopy even before the starting hooter has gone. Contains foul language, rain dances and even more inexplicable behaviour from two of the UK's finest carpers.
Does anyone else think that the pressure of the competition might be taking its toll on our anglers at this late stage in the competition? That's the only explanation that we can think of for some of this behaviour...

Two of the UK's finest carp anglers... apparently. Why does Ian always insist on taking his trousers down? Very odd, if you ask us!
Both anglers identified this match as the one they most wanted to win for the whole series, but which of them comes away feeling good about the result - the two giants reflect on one of the more unusual matches.

Don't watch this episode of Carp Wars Extra until you've watched Episode 12 of the main series between Steven Coe and Lee 'Mozza' Morris.

Want to fish like the Carp Wars pro anglers? Look know further Iain 'Ting Tong' Macmillan, of The Tuition fame, shares the secrets of setting up a perfect surface rig, another Carp Wars Extra Top-tip!

You'd think that watching the superstars of the Carp Wars 2 making fools of themselves would get old, but somehow every blooper reel that comes along is just as funny as the first. Perhaps the strain of the competition is getting to them. Or us.
After another tense 24 hour battle in the rapidly hotting up Carp Wars, Dave (and Padwah) and Iain can relax at last, and reflect on the struggle just finished. Have they developed a fued, or is it all good natured, honourable stuff?
Lee 'Mozza' Morris really, really wants these fish to stop fighting. But this is Carp Wars - fighting's what it's all about! Might need to rethink your game-plan Lee!

01:42

01:29
Don't say we never give you anything - Mozza shows you how to set up the corn rig that's been bringing him so much success in episode 9 of Carp Wars 2. If it gives Ian Russell something to think about, it must be good!
What is the deal with Carp Wars stars and being children in front of the camera? This time its Lee 'Mozza' Morris and Ian Russell acting the goat. At least they both keep their trousers on this time. Oh. Wait.
Bloopers: Lane vs Levy
02:31
Once again we've got two of the finest countries in the land making total a**ses of themselves in front of the cameras - in one case, we mean this quite literally. You have been warned. Honestly, we're scarred for life. #NSFW
Two Daves - Levy and Lane - two different approaches to the competition - one's backing himself, one's changed his preparation tactics specifically for the series. Only one can be right, and only one can win the match.
All's fair in love and war, and when it comes to Carp Wars that's doubly true. Tong tries some unconventional psych-out tactics at the pre-match face/off - but its not very sporting, especially from someone with so little hair of their own to boast of.
Iain "The Tuition Magician" Macmillan shows you how to set up a rig that's given him plenty of success over the years - the Chod Rig, and explains why its a useful rig, especially when fishing over weedy areas.

After a challenging 24 hours the Dave Levy and Lee Morris sit down to discuss what went right and what went wrong. Is either angler happy with the result? Why? And how could they have done better?
Does anyone else think that Carp Wars might be starting to send one or two of these guys a bit loopy?
Dave and Steven take the weight off and talk over the lessons they've learned from the previous 24 hours.
Everyone involved in Carp Wars is a consummate professional... naturally, but that doesn't mean everyone takes it seriously all the time...
