The Daiwa over head round saltist [multipliers] come with and without leverwind, all are multipurpose reels.
A] with leverwind, you just retrieve the line with you eyes closed.
B] without leverwind, you have to level the line as you retrieve.
THANKS Uncle Thomas…

1stly, sorry i accidentally clicked on the edit button for your post. i was trying to reply with a quote but hit the wrong button! [:D]
an overhead reel is also known as a conventional reel, also called a multiplier. if i were to classify reels, i’d call all of them overhead reels because they sit on top of the reel seat rather than hang below. Large reels like the Penn International series, the Shimano TLDs, Daiwa Sealines and what nots are sometimes referred to as conventional reels, depending which continent you are from.
Some call them multipliers, because with each turn of the crank handle, the spool rotates in ‘X’ number of times, e.g 4:1, where ‘X’ is 4, where i turn of the handle rotates the spool by a factor of 4. i personally find this rather inaccurate as spinning reels are also multipliers in the sense that with each turn of the crank handle, the rotor rotates in a preset factor as well.
better check if the Saltist reel has a casting control mechanism or not. i don’t think the saltist(correct me) has any sort of casting/braking mechanism other than the spool tension knob and a claimed smooth-spinning spool. most big multipliers do not have a proper braking mechanism other than the spool tension knob, as they are intended for trolling/bottom/drifting and not casting.
small overheads(popularly called baitcasters) have either centrifugal, magnetic or both types of braking mechanism to facilitate the cast.
that being said, they of course can be used to toss baits a few meters away from the boat without much fuss, but if u are trying to cast >20m, then that might prove to be a challenge.
some of the Accurate reels have the AccuCast thingy on for easier castability, and the Shimano Torsa is claimed to cast like how a regular baitcaster would.
on levelwinds, some people like the fact that the line is layed on the spool with every crank on the handle. neat and nice isn’t it?
some levelwind mechanisms are fully engaged, meaning when letting line out, the line guide moves in synchrony with the position of the line being let out. this, while ensuring no cross-lines within the line guide and the spool, robs the reel of some castable distance because the reel now needs to rotate a full-time engaged additional gear for the levelwind mechanism. examples of these reels are the older ABU 6500 & 7000 series. the problem arises when the line is full wound onto the spool, u need to correspond correctly to the position of the line on the spool & the line guide, or else, the line may form angles with the line guide and may cause unnecessary tension when under immense drag pressure. the levelwind mechanism may jam up as well.
depending on the speed of the levelwind mechanism also, the line lay may be close or cris-crossed. if closely placed, the line may ‘dig-in’ the spool. however, a closely layed spool may give additional distance when casting.
some prefer the open-cage design, without the levelwind. the line laying is done manually, and u may want to make a criss cross pattern when retrieving line to prevent digging-in. sometimes in the heat of the fight, u may forget to lay the line and the line will stack up on a either side or centre of the spool, and jam ur reel up due to uneven line-lay.
what u can do with these reels? the sky’s the limit, bottom, trolling, drifting, except to cast lures that is…
what u can’t do with these reels? cast lures.
hope this clears some of your doubts. [:D]
