I can't post pics from where I am, but I made one out of a bucket. Takes a hole drilled for the rod-butt, and a notch cut to cradle the rod. I used a simple wire trigger mechanism on an adjustable length cord (which is important, the adjustability), that attached at the bottom of the bucket.
The commercially available trigger would work as well or better, on this set up, and they are three for 12.00, or even less online, so why not?
The main drawback of the one I designed was that you have to finagle the wire to adjust sensitivity.
I used them side by side with a jawjacker, and did just as well, but I only used it a couple of times. Took it apart to "improve" it and never got it back together again. It worked great at PV at night for crappies.
