sure thing smooth, one thing Iv'e noticed especially with hair is, different people have different ways of getting that hair on the jig evenly all the way around the collar. I guess my way is kinda unorthadox ( using one bunch of hair, and wrapping 5-6 times loosely and shifting the hair around the collar under the loose thread, then holding the hair while backing off a couple wraps and then wrapping hard. ) but I have never tried to tie one on a striper size hook either. another thing I do is trim the excess hair in front of the wraps if there is any, with a single edge razor blade. just push down on the hair with the blade using the lead as a backstop, and it cuts right thru it.
