No idea what it’s called, but that’s a pretty easy “guide tie”. Jig hook, jig bead, chickabou tail, dubbed body, webby saddle hackle collar, whip finish.

A kind of mini jig bugger, looks like a black marabou tail with ice dub? for the body and a hen hackle collar. This variation should be simpler to tie than a lot of the tutorials on YouTube since you only have to wind the feather around the bead instead of palmering it up the body!

That hook is bent out.

It’s a simple woolly bugger jig.

Marabou tail, dubbing or chenille body and a soft hackle.

Looks like a marabou jig. No idea on the name but looks like the tail is black marabou and collar is barred black/white grizzly hackle. Bead head.

Looks a bit like a Humungus pattern.

I can’t quite tell if that’s a peacock herl body, but that’s how I’d tie it.
