The contents of my tackle box

  • Needle nose pliers
  • Folding knife
  • Hooks
  • Sinkers
  • Bobbers
  • Golden hued cluster of deep fried lard
  • Live bait

And lest I forget the subhead, if one were to be in the unenviable position to take "one bite" from the ((shudder)) tackle box, then wouldn't one already have been sufficiently "lured?" Does not the copywriter intend to say "hooked?" Or would that be cliche? Yes, yes, that would be cliche. Better to be woefully inaccurate. And to represent one's food as a luring device, not unlike, say, worms.
