I note that the most recent GOB recommended simply

At first I was wondering how they got a line to the top.
I
suppose I could spiral my extra jib halyard around and
tie
it off. Sounds like a good idea.
Sorry Scotty, typo. Should have said "not spiral fashion."

Oh, right, that's what I do now. Wouldn't wrapping the
spare halyard around work, too.

That's just what I do. I wind the reverse of the jib sheets. Off
course, its almost as easy to simply drop it.
