Introduction: One of the questions we receive most often when discussing and reviewing Shimano spinning reels is a deceptively simple one: What is the difference between CoreSolid and MagnumLite, and when should I choose one over the other? It's a fair question.

The MagnumLite design philosophy also allows for a much larger sized spool diameter and larger gearing, while retaining the lighter weight.

I have run both the 2023 Vanquish 4000XG and 4000MHG and they are lighter than most 2500 sized Core Solid reels.
