Thin Mint - Olive and Orange

Thin Mint – Olive and Orange

The Thin Mint is a slim-profile Woolly Bugger variation designed to cut through the water column faster and sink deeper than a standard Bugger — making it especially effective in fast water, deep runs, and any situation where you need to get the fly down quickly and keep it there. The olive and orange color combination pairs a natural, earthy body with a bright orange hot spot that adds a trigger element proven to provoke reaction strikes from trout and bass. The gold tungsten bead head provides additional weight and a bright attractor point, while the slim marabou profile delivers the same lifelike, pulsing action that makes the Woolly Bugger one of the most effective streamers ever tied.
