Maggot feeder for trout

Hi guys, so recently I have started fishing for trout in lakes/lochs using a maggot feeder with little success.

While proven to be a tried and tested method I have encountered a problem, everytime I go to reel in (rod high and fast reel) I end up getting stuck on the bottom. While I know this does and will happen, I end up losing tye entire rig with a potential fish on the end. I only use 6lb mono which will break easier. I have heard of a way to tie the same rig but in a way when I get stuck I only lose the feeder instead of the entire rig. I have spoken to a few anglers and they know it does exist but don't know how to tie it themselves.

For context, the rig is a maggot feeder with 2 snap swivels attached, on attached to the hooklink and the other for the main line
Both of which are only 6lb mono.

If anyone knows how to tie this or give any tips it'd be greatly appreciated.
