They sure don't need to sink. I think I would try to seal them.
Someone that pushes could use em if you decide to toss em, with the weights on em they sink anyway.
Lay them out in the sun and to let the inside dry out good. Try sealing the seam where the two crankbait halves are put together with some clear finger nail polish and see if that works.
Don't toss them Torch! Holler before you do that
You can take Devcon 2ton epoxy and paint them and that will seal them off again. Dicknite make as coating that some use to seal baits after painting that works good but it is a little pricey. Basically, you can use a epoxy (2 part) to reseal them. I use the 30 minute Devcon 2ton epoxy myself to seal baits once I paint themQuote:

If you are going to seal with epoxy any way just drill a tiny hole in bottom and drain. Like G said just lay out in sun and they will dry out. Used to have to do that on carp baits.
Try that stuff you see on tv that comes in a spray can. Put a screen door in the bottom of a Jon boat stuff. I saw it on tv so it must be true.......LOL
Take your hooks off and the split ring off the eye, spray em down, put hooks and eye ring back on and just for good measure a pink strip on the belly, good to go.Rofl
Yep, that's the plan....... Roflmbo
