You're looking at the "bottom" of the jig. Both the hook eye and the hook point are almost directly behind the body of the jig.
The tie is fairly basic, just "involved". Start the thread and lay down a good thread base from the jig head to the first bend. At this point, tie in a small clump of pink fox tail. These are small jigs, so you're only using the very ends of the underfur and the last half of the guard hair. You want the hair to extend about 1 1/2 times shank length past the first bend. You want more hair than you think, but you're going to end up cutting off most of it. Wasteful, I know.....
Anyway, once the pink hair is tied it, tie in some chartreuse fox tail directly on top of it. You also want this to extend about 1 1/2 times shank length past the first bend. Start wrapping the hair with thread, binding it to the shank. I go all the way to the head. I cut the hair off before I get there.
For the flash: I take one strand of chartreuse Krystal Flash, and one strand of pink. Cut those in half, then cut the halves in half again. I use two quarter-pieces of each color per jig. One full length of Krystal flash, each color, is enough for two jigs.
I make a small clump of the flash, parallel, and ends even. I tie it in just behind the jighead. Even it up, then pull it towards the tail, and tie it down, all the way to the bend.
For the body: Tie in three pink ostrich herls. Then, tie in three chartreuse ostrich herl directly on top. I like to hook a hackle pliers to the chartreuse herl. Advance the thread to the jighead. Grasping the hackle pliers, spin it to furl the herl. Once the herl starts to look like chenille, start wrapping it around the shank. I usually have to spin the herl again as I'm wrapping it. Make a few wraps, spin it, make a few wraps, spin it, until I get to the head. Once at the head, tie it off and trim the excess. I'll clip some hackle pliers to the pink herl, spin it, then pull it straight up and over the body, to the head. Tie it off and trim the excess. A little Sally Hansen's and a 3-turn whip finish and she's done.
