messenger lines

Any ideas on how to install a messenger line to a spreader without going up the mast? My previous line disintegrated. Tks for any creative ideas!

If just over the spreader, tie the line to a tennis ball and toss it.

If through a small block on the spreader, the. You're headed up the mast.
