As Al said, a wrap or two of red hackle would make a nice collar on that jig. Also consider artic fox body fur for the tail. It will give lots of action and is very durable. You could also dress it up with a small zonker strip tied in at the "neck" of the jig and glued down the length of the mylar tubing. This would give it a darker back and would also act as the tail. You can also slip a glass/bead rattle (like the bass fishermen use) in the body to add some sound and fill out the body on the mylar. Just a few ideas...
