Second day hint: it's all the rage! (and the answer has three ts)

This was a clue from a puzzle in a paper which we found quite challenging but I was not expecting it to hang around this long! Therefore I will reclue it more conventionally:

Try endless tail on dog for frontrunner (11 or could perhaps be written as 5,6)

S'gotta be something "setter" with a dog and all those "t"s

Trendsetter (although I can't explain it fully other than "all the rage" is a trend)

try endless = tr
tail = end
dog = setter

You did it, Rog!

Rex, can you explain how the original works?
All I can "see" is a single definition.

A good collaborative effort from Sue and Rog;
rage = height of fashion (as in "it's all the rage"), and one held responsible for that is a trendsetter (who therefore has many followers), alternatively frontrunner as alternatively clued and explained by Sue.

Denis, the original clue is a single definition, the wordplay being the unusual meaning of rage (used without "the"), as signalled by the question mark.

Over to you Rog ===[**WCF**]===

Thanks Lex, and thanks Sue - shoulda seen that!

Gather it's reverse charge in America (7)

Since when is a "single definition" clue legal?

Rubber stopper on icy surface?(6,6) = hockey goalie
Legal?

Ain't complaining; only saying if we don't
know single definition is ok, then impossible to solve.

I didn't even look back at the first one.

One held responsible for rage? (11)

I don't think that's a cryptic. It's more of a crossword clue.

Other opinions? Or should I just beat him and have done with it.

collect (double defn)

Well done, manxman - collect this at your leisure! ===[**WCF**]===

Yes, in my view, with the same qualification as Pandora mentions: not a cryptic but a valid crossword clue nevertheless (as long as there is a kink/quirk of some kind to provide a measure of obfuscation).

As it says in our introductory spiel to this thread, anything from the worldwide crossword arena passes muster.

Thanks UW

Dog swallowing number one whale product (5,3)

Train oil = a whale product (also known as whale oil) - trail (dog/follow) containing (swallowing) noi (number one).

Not an expression with which I was familiar, but it had to be some sort of oil from whales.

Well done Lex, wear it ===[**WCF**]=== with pride
