{Whiffle balls (practice golf balls) work great - light and don't hold water. Unlike a 'biner, it won't bonk anything. I attached one to mine using a wire tie (those plastic loops used for gathering wires together that only tighten and can't be undone without cutting).} The good thing about using a biner is that it's weight has the effect of "raising" the grab loop when you are inverted making it very easy to find.

Also, around camp etc. biners come in more handy than a whiffle ball. Perhaps preparing for Murphy, a locker should be used.
