Sounds like you are talking about a jig with palmered hackle. Without a picture we can't be sure though.

I was using a jig the other day that I had really good luck with. I wanna try and replicate it and was wondering how to do it. It was a smaller jig with a chenille body and some kind of hair sticking out sideways from the chenille and a tail as well. How would I get the the hair to stick through the wrapping of the chenille?

Did it look something like these? IF so this is palmered hackle.

It can also be done as a collar like this one...

not to hijack but I really like the concept of the contrasting wooly style palmering...

thanks for the pics skip as I have no way of posting a pic of the jig. That is exactly what i am looking to do. Now that I know what its called, I can research it.
Wrap the end of the hackle with thread. Then wrap the hackle around the body to get that effect. Tie it off in the end.
