[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 173546, member: 32655"] It's not you, it's the system. haha. Basically sellers tend to use diagonal leg span (DLS) cuz it's very generous with size, while actually being verifiable / provable so it's not misrepresentation. You can "lose" about 1/3 the DLS size if measured from the side in normal stand (the power of geometry!). Knowing that, your case is about right (e.g. 1.5" -> 0.75"+, 2" -> 1.25"+). That's a very nice seller by the way for doing what he did. Very small slings will be totally happy to scavenge so headless mealworm / roach nymph are good. Some say large cricket leg would also work but I had little experience with it. [/QUOTE]
