Howdy,
Attached is a picure of a little halyard grabber I made that might save wear and tear on your hands from yanking on it.

I haven't had much trouble clicking and unclicking the main. It might be because I have the original aluminum masthead rather than the comptip? It's also important to keep the bolt rope lubed with either parraffin or that McLube stuff.
