Catches wild sprat (5)
I believe the answer is:
traps
'catches' is the definition.
(trapping is a kind of catching)
'wild sprat' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sprat' is an anagram of 'TRAPS'.
(Other definitions for traps that I've seen before include "gins" , "Corners" , "jazz percussion?" , "Devices to catch, animals say" , "Golf course hazards" .)
