Well google gives for "hook, line and sinker"
http://www.nytimes.com/ref/crosswords/trivia/quiz214.html

quoting the above URL.....
7. What movie is narrated by Jerry Lewis from an operating table where 
he is impaled by a swordfish?

       Hook, Like and Sinker
       The Family Jewels
       Slapstick
       Visit From A Small Planet
       Money From Home

and google shows other sites where ppl say "... or is a sucker and 
bought it hook, like and sinker. " and there are lots more.

I had always thought it was 'hook line and sinker' but perhaps its 
Australian only? I tried "hook, like and sinker" with combinations of 
"origin" and "phrase" but no luck.
