Supposedly a near 7# smallie was caught on Stockton last weekend on the Ned. We have been doing versions of it for a long time and didn't call it anything. That is kind of like drop shot. We did it for years but called it double rigging. We used a jig instead of a sinker on the bottom with a wacky worm above it.
I'm looking forward to giving the "ned rig" a shot with a swing jig this year.
