In Episode 10 of "Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia", MC and love interest's older
sister are talking. Older sister (as bait) says she heard love interest had
confessed to MC, and MC responds all embarassed, confirming older sister's
suspicions. Afterwards, older sister tells MC "that stuff about hearing your
confession from my lil sis was a lie: just wanted to get you to spill the
beans". In Japanese, the "just wanted to get you to spill the beans" part
sounds like "kamakaketa dake", but I have no idea what's actually being said.
All I can think of is kamareru (e.g. to have "bitten" the bait), and kakeru
(in this context, to have employed/casted something upon someone). But the
grammar seems wrong, and I'm pretty sure I'm mishearing what's actually being
said. Any help in identifying what's actually being said (and why it means
what it does) is greatly appreciated. Actual clip:

鎌 (sickle/scythe) is a cheeky way of referring to trick/leading questions. And
かまをかける is to pose such a leading question.

I'll leave this question+answer up, just in case anyone else happens to have
it.
