I have a jig hook ?

I'd say tie the eyes on, tie it to some line and drop it into the sink, aquarium, toilet, etc. to see what happens. My guess is that on top of the shank will cause it to rid hook point down.

That's exactly what I plan on doing now.

Sheesh! I do it all the time, and it works fine. Tying the bead chain in the bend still places it well below the center line of the fly. With the hook eye turned up, the fly will jig, just as you expect. It will be a little nose heavy, so it will dive, rather than settle, but sometimes that's what you want to fly to do.
