Catch and miss nothing (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lasso

'catch' is the definition.
(catch with a rope)

'miss nothing' is the wordplay.
'miss' becomes 'lass' (lass is a kind of miss).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'lass'+'o'='LASSO'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lasso that I've seen before include "Somehow catch" , "Rope used for catching cattle" , "Cow catcher" , "Cowcatcher" , "Rope with noose for catching animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
