I think it may be how the jig itself is formed near the rear end of the jig. You want a little ridge at the back end, this way when you tie you bucktail/fishhair on the jig...it flairs outward giving you the "bush" you are looking for.
Another way to add extra fullness is to add some additional material to the hook shank after it leaves the jig...this tends to fill in the empty cavity left by the flaired bucktail .

I picked up some of these jigs called Parrakeet'z that do this. I have not used them yet but they sure look nice. I plan to put a little extra epoxy on the threads...esp on the shank.
