Check your local bps/ walmart because many of them have been putting their mann's a rigs on sale for $10.  Especially in and around  Branson, MO.

Both quality rigs. Saving $15 on the manns is worth it though, I have broken cheaper brands in minutes.

I would change the hardware on that rig if I used it, I like to be able to bend the hooks out if I snag a log. I also would have to feel the wires in person because I do not like light wire a rigs. In my experience the lighter the wire the more I have to keep fixing it.

Yumbrella rigs work for me. The snaps are a bit fussy, but they hold, and that's what's important.

I got a Yumbrella at Dicks Sporting Goods a few weeks ago for $10. I am gonna try it out when I get a chance to get to a farm pond.

On the A-rig, I've been using a split ring as a connector between the jig hook and the snap on the A-rig.  When I get stuck, option A is to get on top of and a little behind the snag.  Most of the time it will easily pull off.  The hound dog type retriever is pretty much useless for the A-rig.  If I can see it, sometimes I can get it with my pole retriever.

 

Should none of these options work, I stay on the opposite side of the snag, (if possible, not always possible)

staying as tight as possible I wrap the 65 lb braid around the closest available boat cleat, then I back away with the trolling motor.

 

Every time so far, I've either gotten the whole rig back or one of the split rings opened and I only lost one bait.  I haven't lost an entire A-rig yet.  I was told to do this by a fishing buddy, who was told this when he bought a bunch of A-rig components at a shop near Table Rock Lake.  So far it has worked.

best suggestion yet.  I normally tie mine around my hand and pull straight up. I would suggest making a retriever, they cost about 15 bucks and can go deeper.

They work  and they have solid snaps, just use pliers to get them shut.
