Flimsy fib angler made up (9)

I believe the answer is:

frangible

'flimsy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fib angler made up' is the wordplay.
'made up' is an anagram indicator.
'fib'+'angler'='fibangler'
'fibangler' is an anagram of 'FRANGIBLE'.

(Other definitions for frangible that I've seen before include "Easily broken -- gerbil fan (anag)" , "Fragile, brittle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
