You're right about my point. The fact that many of these trout had multiple
plastics in their stomach tells me they either aren't passing them at all,
or are passing them very slowly with much difficultly.

There is a company bringing out a digestible soft baits this year

ANother thing which will actually kill the fish when swallowed is the
salt impregnated plastics, they swell to ten times their size, if you
don't believe that , just take one and put it in a jar full of water for
a couple of weeks
