Fool that's got a good grip? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sucker

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fool' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'that's got a good grip?' is the second definition.
(eg an octopus' sucker is good at gripping)

(Other definitions for sucker that I've seen before include "Fool" , "with straw in mouth?" , "Shoot coming from roots, or slangy victim" , "baby?" , "Slangily, one who is easily deceived" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
