Try to deal with fishing gear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tackle

'try to deal with fishing gear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tackle that I've seen before include "Set about dealing with" , "Grapple with - ship's running rigging" , "Deal with; equipment" , "weightlifting equipment?" , "Rugby challenge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
