If they're not in the ancient weapons books then I'd check the books covering Austrailia for Rifts and After the Bomb.

Rifts SA2 should have a type of bola and HU:AU has energy bolas called clippers.

I never liked bolas. It is such a strange weapon. That said, it is a very effective weapon (according to the rules).

Yin-Sloth, p. 43 lists W.P. Bola wrote: ... 1D4 damage, but a successful strike is usually used to knock a weapon out of an opponent's hand or entangle his legs. .. While entangled, the victim loses initiative, is -1 to strike or parry, -6 to dodge and speed is reduced by 80%. All penalties are enforced until the character gets himself untangled/cut loose; it takes 1D4 melee actions to get untangled.
