These are becoming pretty popular in the northwest and curious if anyone has any experience with the redington hydrogen trout speys particularly to 2 wt debating between that and the 3 wt

Not with that rod in particular, but I would go 3 wt for versitality, only 2 wt if you are going to be mostly swinging soft hackles and little flies, doing more scandi than skagit casting. The 3 lets you fish more streamers or larger wets & nymphs.

I actually went and cast these rods yesterday at a spey clave, the 3 was nice and easier to control. The 2wt was a little too much of a noodle

Agreed. I thought I really wanted the 2wt until I tried the 3wt out for a couple of weeks. It feels like a 5wt, but plays fish like a 6wt as it has that long strong butt section. I can chuck some pretty hefty rabbit strips with a skagit head.
Paired it up with a redington zero. Plan on catching some schoolies with it this spring.
