Take the bait (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bite

'take the bait' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bite that I've seen before include "Get teeth into" , "Grip; take effect" , "Puncture by 9 [ADDER]" , "Snake or insect wound" , "Take bait; sting" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today and the Universal.
