Wondering if this reel is the same or similar to the old Saltist silver 30TH? Looking for something in this class of reel that won't break the bank. I like the under $200 price range. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

pretty close. not a big fan of either. not having the ability to springload the dog is a deal killer for me.
That is a 6.4:1 gear ratio, Pretty fast....
The black Powder Coat and gold Spool were the only other change....
The Silver was paint? and Every one complained about that chipping off so easy..
I think the Blk/Gold was a Bass Pro Shop 'Exclusive' when it first came out.
The Older Silver Saltist was a 5:1/4.9:1.. Called a Super Torque...
If you like the Full Metal Jacket, simplicity, design and strength of the Saltist..
Look also at the Seagate & Sealine X.
Composite Frames...
$150 & $120 almost identical inside.
But a few choices in Gear ratio......
