I have used quick strike rigs since I first saw them in an In-Fisherman magazine many years ago. I make my own out of sevenstrand wire and #8 or 10 trebles. I make them a couple of feet long and connect then directly to the tip up line using a swivel.
I use one of the weights with a clip on it to determine where the bottom is and how high above the bottom I want the bait. I use the tiny bobbers to mark just below the waterline so I can return the bait to the same place.
Do a search on the as you will find many different ways of doing the same thing. Try different things until you find something you have confidence in.
