The basic marabou-and-chenille jig is just a WB without the hackle, but I don't doubt adding the hackle would be OK. I have an old jig tying book by Gee and Silas, and they claimed a wooly worm tied on a jig head was their #1 bluegill bait. There is something magical about the WB/WW.

Despite that, you'd probably make more money selling plastics. They seem to be the "hot thing", particularly with the bass guys. In-Fisherman has been promoting them a lot for walleyes. I use plastics, too, but I'll never leave home without hair and feathers.
