Well I got this idea from one of the forums.
Its a easy tie and I like the looks now if the fish like it LOL

Ok this is the way I have been doing mine sorry for the blurred photos but I think you get the idea

Ok I start with the head painted and the tail tied in

Now tie the back end color in note just like you would the main color but stop short when raping channel like two turns and then run the thread down and lock it in then trim the first color tab run the thread back to the head

Tie in the second color just before the first color run the thread to tie it in then back up to the head

Run the second color to the head and whip finish it

When you do the back color think of it as that is where the head is then when you put the second color just tie it like you would any jig.

I keep looking at this and well I hope it makes sense ask ? if not.

Nice ties....your first jig I would watch the open end to the circle where you tie the fishing line. If I see those with my hooks I do not use. Just personal thought.

Plate if you close them up they're usually just fine. I've seen that happen on Mustads, ECs, VMC's in jig hooks and Tiemco and Diichi in fly hooks. Just do it carefully it doesn't take much.

I just close the open eyes up when I find them.
You should see what I do after a hang up on a tree with braided line yep get the pliers out and bend that hook back in place!.
