Your post got my curiosity up, so I did some searching on the web. Like you, I don't want to invest in expensive down riggers at this time.
A company called Walker Downriggers makes a diver with a trip release called a TripZ Diver, that looks just like a Jet Diver, but has a trip on it when a fish strikes or you want to retrieve your rig. Cabelas carries them. Or just do a search on the web for TripZ Diver.
I also found this website.. http://www.dwfonline.com/articles/jet_diver_release.htm
He rigged his Jet Diver with an Off-Shore trip. Looks like a nice setup.
