i don't know what you're referencing w/ torium vs saltist comparison, but toriums are still decent reels imo. i'd say the saltist has the edge out of the box b/c it has bearing vs bushing on free spool, and easier to take apart and work on saltists. but torium casts nicely even w/ fs bushing, and toriums are super smooth. i know there is also the fear of the ARB failing in the torium, but that can be upgraded a priori pretty easily. good luck in your sale. if you decide to drop price, PM me. i'd be interested.
