If you do not want to melt them down then send them to me. PM me for an address. I will make us some 2" stingers and 1.5" stingers out of them and send you some. If you or a moderator post this in the DIY / Soft Plastics forum you might get more responses. You could also just cut them into 1 inch sizes and add rubber or feathers on the tail by threading them through with a large needle. They call it a jelly and/or hackle jig. Here is how to do that. https://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-...le-jig-photos/
