did you try the wooly bugger? Just a thought!
Also I have a fly that imitates a plastic worm. It is tied on a size 1 hook with a cone head. It is tied with purple (can use any color) chenile type very flashy with a black hackle tied to the tail. Have to see if I have a pic. Pulled it out of a fly tier back about 11-12 years ago.

Here is the pic of the fly. It is called the purpetrator. So as not to hijack your thread I am going to start a new one with all the recipes and articles and stuff on how to tie it and other bass bugs.

Yes they have plastic curly tails. If you are speaking about the Popper's in the black box. No they do not have glitter but that would be an interesting presentation. Thosef poppers were my first attempt ever. They are nothing more than a piece of foam with a feather glued to it and painted. Didn't work too well.other stuff inthere imitate worms and fish similar to jigs. I tied up some bead head buffers in chartreuse as well.

You can use the tail off your Crappie jigs for sure. I am sure that is where the idea originated and I bet everyone has tried it.
I have also seen poppers made out of ear plugs.
Experiment as well. Tie a piece of foam to the tail of that purple getter and it would change the action big time. There is a river worm they do this with. The little piece of foam makes the tail go up and down.
Very nice Albino!

, a

Did you try any poppers? Maybe the low pressure coming in turned them off, but then again why should it?Go figure.
