Having fished both I personally prefer the saltist. I think it is built better, has better drags and just feels better to me. They are both good reels for the price I just think Daiwa did a better job on their reel IMHO.
May your rods outnumber her shoes.

i had the opportunity to fish a torium on a 3 day earlier this year. it is a smooth reel, but i prefer a saltist. it feels better, and the free spool lever isnt as far to the front of the reel as the torium.

The saltist also has a better shift lever. I have seen several Toriums/Trinnies with broken shift levers - poor design... Also the saltist has a smoother drag system. I've fished them both and lean towards the saltist. Also - the saltist is easier to service, if you ever have to.... JMHO....

I have both. Saltist 30H and the Torium 30.The saltist seems easier to use but the torium is super smooth. My rod with the saltist on it fell over at the wash rack and I found out the lever is plastic. I like them both.

The Torium seems to have an on or off freespool adjustment. It's hard to get right so you dont backlash. At least for me. Originally Posted by fly liner
