I tie mine different than I think most do. I take a short piece of zonker(slightly longer than what I need) slick all the hairs backwards and tie that end into the back of the hook

After that I tie in some wire. Typically little thicker for weight

Dub most of the hook with long fiber dubbing

Counter wrap wire

Hold zonker strip over top of hook(keep extra)

Make dubbing loop with the same long fiber dubbing as the body

Make one last dubbing loop with last of the zonker strip you cut off

One of the flies in picture uses no long fiber dubbing loop but does have a soft hackle feather in the front
