Offering as bait from end of rod, fishing (8)
I believe the answer is:
dangling
'offering' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'end of rod fishing' is the wordplay.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
'fishing' becomes 'angling' ('angle' can be a synonym of 'fish').
The final letter of 'rod' is 'd'.
'd'+'angling'='DANGLING'
'as bait from' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dangling that I've seen before include "Offering" , "Hanging loosely, swinging or swaying" , "Disconnected" .)
