The Bluegill Belly Bean is a wonderful little panfish fly that does pretty well at catching Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass as well. You can have a lot of fun tying various colors and sizes and have a bunch for all kinds of fishing situations. Even if you only want to catch panfish it is a fun fly at the vise and on the water. --Enjoy
