Tie on the chenille or body material and secure it at the head.Wrap your hackle feather forward evenly and secure it at the head.
Wrap the small copper wire in the opposite direction so it catches the stem of the hackle on each turn.This will help the durability of the jig as the fish bite it.
Once the copper is wrapped forward secure it at the head and whip finish.
One tip is to secure the hackle at the base by the tip so the hackle will be small at the base and get longer as it wraps forward.Hope this helps.
Thanks for that. I wondered how you did it too.
