    Look at my slide show in the sticky at the top. It may help.
    But you wrap your thread back to the head followed by the chenille and then take the thread inside the chenille and wrap around to trap it. Ten wrap out side it before you whip finish.

    A rule of thumb is 8 to 10 on the chenille and 5 on the whip finish if you do it by hand. Some times it will make a difference in the size of thread that you use. On my bigger crappie jig I like a A size thread. This make it easier to wrap very tight. I also use a 140 denier thread that I have to us a little lighter pressure therefore more wraps to hold every thing together. Skip has a super formula for head cement and can be seen on page 2 of this thread.http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...uple-days.html This should make it easier for you to keep every thing together.
