Funny story, when I heard "Ned Rig" for the first time and looked up what it was, I had to l laugh. I had been buying "Ned head" jigs for years and using them on single tail grubs to swim them. In so far that this is one of my confidence baits.  Swimming a grub with a ned head on it will almost always net me a catch. Guess I had been a Ned Head all along 

Likewise, to tqke it a step further my grandpa wouls always “swim” a 1.5 inch blue and white crappie tube always with a minnow or wax worm. Never threw anything else and it was the exact same concept as ned righing. Its amazing the size of fish he would piull out with that little bait. As a teenager i messed up a 10 pound northern and 10-12 lb channel cat with the net when he was using that rig.
