Here's an awesome link that shows how to tie a whip finish knot on your jig with a Matarelli whip finishing tool. The whip finish is thought by many to be the most secure knot for fly (and jig) tying.
Whip Finish with Matarelli Tool
However, some jig tyers do not need a "bridge" tool to assist with tying the knot. If you've ever played pool, you'll understand what I mean. ;) I mentioned the method of tying the whip finish by hand on the site back in 2009. It's worth revisiting.

Try both methods sometime to see what you think. :)
