BM,
I have opted not to use a squidder for a multitude of reasons.
1. The squidder has no real casting control
2. The squidder doesn't have a levelwind.
3. The squidder is very large. My hands are rather small.
4. I plan on using braids at one point and I don't want to cut my finger up.
This is my first real conventional. If I have to lay the line back and forth, I'll probably mess up and make worse backlashes with the squidder.
The abu has a levelwind. There are a lot of upgrades for the abu. It was on sale. And I just plain wanted it.
If I ever feel a need to ditch the levelwind, I'll take it out and buy the kit Tres offers.
