lasso
Rope with loop
A lasso is a rope with a running noose at one end, used to catch horses or cattle by throwing it around the animal's neck or legs.
The tool is associated with cowboys and ranching in the American West.
To lasso is to catch with such a rope: She lassoed the calf on her first throw.
Figuratively, to lasso something is to capture or secure it: He's trying to lasso investors for his startup.
