When people talk of 2 inch traps, are they talking lip to lip, or the extremities of the entire trap with ...teeth...spines? (I need to learn some terminology)

My skills include being able to move slowly forward in time, and if I really concentrate, I can sometimes tell what I'm thinking.

They are talking about the length. Not sure how to describe it further but hopefully you know what I mean.

@sanguinearocks101 The thing I don't understand is if they are measuring just the meaty bit of the trap, or the meaty bit, plus the eyelashes

I bought this the other day (sorry about the poor pic)...

Do people say this is 35mm or 45mm?

I realize some business will just say whatever they want, but I figure many are reputable.

I'd call it 43-45mm. Close enough.
