Thin Mint

The Thin Mint is a variation of the Wooly Bugger utilizing a trifecta of tail colors, Black/Brown/Olive, and a Peacock Herl body. The multi colorations give the appearance of a sculpin or other baitfish and is excellent for stripping through deep pools and runs. The weighted front portion of the pattern provides a jigging movement.

The pattern can be tied onto a jig hook for a smaller profile and is very effective for smallmouth bass or under an indicator. Another excellent variation is the Copper Thin Mint where the tail colors are Ginger/Wine/Medium Brown with copper flashabou.
