If you have a fishing pole, you need a line attached to the pole in order to fish. You need a hook on the end of the line. To put the hook and the line under water, you need a sinker. So, to have everything you need to fish, you need a hook, line, and sinker. The idiom means you need it to be complete.
When someone says that another person took the bait hook, line, and sinker it means that they fell for something. This could mean the other person fell for a lie for example.
hook, line and sinker; lock, stock and barrel
