You’ll want to tie in your flash if you’ll be adding any. (it varies really on if you’re just tying in sparklies or going for a lateral line ie. Like on a baitfish., not so say you cant tie in your flash to run on the sides then your bucktail over it, its all a matter of preference) Again you’ll want to measure. You want your flash to extend about 1.5 times the length of your hook shank, sometimes 2.0 times the length of your hook. You can tie in your flash, at the mid point or forward portion of that first initial wrap you tied that should be all set with hard as nails. I was taught to tie my flash in at its mid point then flip it back and give it a few wraps to hold it in place (this helps, if you notice some tails you can pull the flash right out) The extra step of tying it in at its mid point (tying it forward) then flipping it back and securing it will take an extra 15 – 20seconds but in the long run, they’re custom plugs right. Ok so at this point you, got the measurements, you’ve laid down your first wrap, you’ve secured that, and you’ve secured your flash. Bring that thread back up to the right-hand-side and don’t crowd your eye. (remember you want the distance of your first wrap to the hooks eye to be the same distance as the diameter of the hook) Basically grab your flash, find the middle, give it 3-4 wraps fold the second half back give that 3-4 wraps.
