I believe the answer is:

entice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lure' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'net snagged on rocks' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'net' is 'ent' which is located in the answer.
'rocks' could be 'ice' (as in a drink on the rocks) and 'ice' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entice that I've seen before include "draw" , "Tempt with promises of reward" , "Ice net (anag)" , "Tempt, lead astray" , "Attract (by pleasure)" .)
