'kit meant to lure' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fish on lake' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'lake' becomes 'Erie' (Lake Erie is one of the Canadian/US 'Great Lakes').
'ling'+'erie'='LINGERIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lingerie that I've seen before include "CLOTHING" , "Women's flimsy underwear" , "Slinky undergarments" , "flimsy stuff" , "Women's underwear and nightwear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
