Scotch,

I use 50# mono or wire when trolling 9er rigs.
If I hang a rig up on the bottom I simply back the boat up until I'm directly over the stuck rig.
I then take a grappling hook/foldable anchor attached to 1/4" line and put a shackle on it and over my mono. The grappling hook slides down the mono, the grappling hook fouls in the 9er rig and I haul the grappling hook up by the 1/4" 3 strand line and retrieve my 9er rig. It really works slick.
However, you got to be able to position the boat directly over the rig.

>> Cant afford to loose them in a lot of ways.

At the cost of these rigs I cant afford to leave it at the bottom and it certainly can't help anything down there.

Fly Rod - I'm always looking around when I have to haul a pot, its that shotgun I see on shore that "lets" me put the trap right back where it was. A 9ers rig aint worth a shotgun shell !

Enjoying Life !
