I use a small fishing weight on mine. It's also helpful if you're inside a ceiling panel and want to know if there are any horizontal beams in the way when dropping wire.

Weighted String Technique for Installing a Phone Jack

Hi, I am Drew Fendy here today to demonstrate how to install a jack for your telephone for ExpertVillage.com. Another method to fish through a wall if you do not have a fishing rod, you can use an old fishing rod too and it would work and the other technique would be a string with a weight on the end of it. We just put this one, it has got a small nut on it, we just tie the end together, and we are going to drop it down through. Now this is when we have a fairly big opening down below and we could run it all the way down so we would just put it in the wall and the weight of the bead would bring it down through. The weight of the nut would bring it down through or whatever you happen to put on the end of it to weigh it down.
