Believe it or not, you can capture Looten with a bolamite as long as you hoover him up as soon as he is trapped. Somebody posted this on gamefaqs and it works. I felt quite stupid as I'd never tried it, thinking it too simple.
I think someone on gamefaqs managed to catch them all alive but they had far more patience than me. I normally had 6-8 attempts and moved on. They also mentioned having to trap some bosses in a corner so it's certainly not straight forward.
In addition, I didn't buy any of the ammo extender upgrades which would have made Packrat (as an example) possible as I ran out of ammo and he regenerated.
Boombats are effective later on as well as the normal Zapfly and Thunderslug.
I failed to capture 6 of them on my first run, bought the first knuckles upgrade (shouldn't have bothered) and ended up with 18.8k moolah.
