Pick up snag (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catch

I believe this is a double definition.

'pick up' is the first definition.
(I know that pick up can be written as catch)

'snag' is the second definition.
(I know that snag is a more specific form of the action catch)

(Other definitions for catch that I've seen before include "Something trapped" , "Understand" , "Grab hold of - fastener" , "(To) snare, net" , "Disadvantage that's hidden" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
