Try tempting with dead fish (6)
I believe the answer is:
dangle
'try tempting' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'with dead fish' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dead' becomes 'd'.
'fish' becomes 'angle' (angling is a kind of fishing**).
'd'+'angle' is 'DANGLE'.
(Other definitions for dangle that I've seen before include "Suspend in front of Glenda" , "wave" , "Hang loosely or swing" , "Temptingly offer" , "Hang so as to swing freely" .)
