Still haven't had this bubble up to the top of my to-do list... but it's inching upward...

Anyone used bungees with the ball on them?

I prefer to avoid hooks, especially the metal kind, due to corrosion and potential jabbing/cutting hazards when hands are wet. Additionally I'd want to avoid anything that wasn't secured on one side. No point in having the added hassle of a cord popping loose and going overboard.

I seem to recall seeing something on a boat (possibly at a boat show) that used the ball on a bungee with a socket of some sort for it. As in, just stretch the bungee by that ball in/out of a socket. But google image searching hasn't led me to anything like it.

Oh... a bit of paging along looking for a picture and I came across a Bungee Receiver that might be sort of what I'm after.

Not necessarily with the loop/ball bungee but with one side secured and the other with a ball that could go in/out of this receiver socket.
