Have any of you ever used the body material called half round or D-Ribbing in tying? If so how do you attach it to the hook?

I haven't used it specifically, but you tie it in at the tail before anything goes down on the tail and tie the body as normal, then move the thread to the hook eye, then wrap the ribbing forward and tie it down, generally speaking.
you mean like this?

I used the tubular kind with copper wire inside for this one.
Tie in like smoothlures stated.
When you use it make a slant cut / and then tie it in. You may get a small bump where it starts over itself.
