Penn also makes (or at least used to make) a Squidder Jr. It's the same reel in terms if the gears, features etc. Just a smaller (narrower) spool and of course overall lighter reel.
Pat, you've gotten some great advise above. There's nothing wrong with conventional casting. Heck, my father taught me to cast conventional with Penn 180's (he loved that reel style, felt it was the most versitile reel ever made) before he bought me my first spinning reel. But it's waaaaaay over kill for you given your experience and locality. By the time you're up to conventional casting regularly theere will be new reels out with better features you'll want just as much then as you do now.
Walk before you try to run.
