Secure eyes on the bottom of the jig hook (one eye length from the bend of the jig hook) using alternating wraps (3 in one direction and then 3 in the other direction) and repeat until the eyes are solid on the hook. Then cut a significant amount of Flashabou and tie it in for the tail and double it back to secure. Leave the flash long and with a straight cut at the back to ensure the most movement possible in the fly. Its a good idea to whip finish and epoxy the eyes and the shank of the hook at this point for durability. Wait for epoxy to dry and move on to step 2
