2500 light finesse
A · $284.99Standard-capacity 2500 finesse bass fishing when overall outfit weight and lure-control response matter.
B · $254.99General bass spinning where a rigid-body, standard-capacity reel is preferred over the lightest outfit.
The versatile lightweight 2500 default. Do not buy Vanquish expecting more line capacity; do not pay this step if Miravel already solves the balance problem.
CHOOSE A WHEN
You want a noticeably lighter reel than Stradic while keeping standard 2500 line capacity.

A · $284.99
It costs $30 more than Stradic and chooses low-mass construction over the Stradic's CoreSolid/HAGANE-metal character.
B · $254.99
At $254.99 it is 1.6 ounces heavier than the $284.99 Vanford, with the same published 2500 mono and PowerPro capacities.
Why pay more: Vanquish cuts a further 0.4 ounce and changes the line budget dramatically with a shallow spool; pay $245 more only if that shallow, light-line use is the actual goal.
Why save: Stradic saves $30 for the same published 2500 line load; Miravel saves $130 and is only 0.9 ounce heavier.

TRADEOFF
It costs $30 more than Stradic and chooses low-mass construction over the Stradic's CoreSolid/HAGANE-metal character.
B · FEEL
CoreSolid design and a HAGANE metal body point toward a steadier, less feather-light retrieve than the MGL-rotor Vanford; do not turn that into a measured smoothness ranking.
