One embodiment of a thumb for an implement of a machine has first and second side plates each having a pivot end for pivotally connecting to a linkage of the machine and an engagement end for engaging with a load. The thumb also has a belly plate extending across a width of the thumb between the first and second side plates and extending along a length of the thumb from the pivot end toward the engagement end. Additionally, the thumb has a thumb support structure disposed closer to the engagement end than to the pivot end. The thumb support structure has a first support plate extending widthwise between the first and second side plates and a second support plate extending widthwise between the first and second side plates and further extending between the first support plate and the belly plate.
