What is the jig hook you are using?
They are a flipping hook made by Revenge Baits. Unfortunately the guy died. I really liked them because the sizes were more fly friendly. I think they went as low as 1/16th. Haven't been able to find a perfect replacement yet.
 
“The Hamlin”
A wet fly described in the book "Bodines; or Camping on the Lycoming" (1879).
The original recipe is described as: Black body, black hackle, white wing, long black tail with white tip.
In my version a little added modification is a jungle cock feather, tip and ribbing silver tinsel.
