I tie them in Near the bend of the hook if tying crosscut rabbit above that, actually both are tied in about that same spot. I do always use a little super glue on the place I tie that in before I wrap the crosscut piece. If you tying chenille body with a zonker tail then I think you could tie it in closer to the head then, but no real need to do that if it's tied in really well just above the bend spot.

Almost forgot I made a slide show for tying a crosscut rabbit strip which should help with what I said above.
