Portable wire antenna weight

[Georgek5kg]

Here's something I 'invented' yesterday. I'd like to think it's an  
original idea but I cannot imagine it hasn't been done time and again by  
others. But since I've never seen it written anywhere let me describe
it  here. It might help someone.

1 golf ball (from your golf bag)
1 small  screweye (from your workshop junkbox)
1 small snap swivel (from your tackle  box)
1 small length of 8 lb. monofilament (from your reel)

I do  the same thing, except I put a screw into a baseball.  Nothing throws
 better than a baseball!

Yeah, but then you need a freezer bag, not a sandwich bag ;-).
And....it really looks weird in your pocket, too....
