Can I get some suggestions on what reel I should rig on the 10 ft. BnM BrushCutter rod.
The lightest and smoothest drag.
Thanks in advance

You want be casting a 10 footer so a reel will just be a line holder. I use spinning reels why many use cheap baitcasters. A Shimano 1000 series reel like a Sienna would be a good choice. They will cost you around $30 and they work well.
I bought Zebco spinning reels for $9 at walmart to put on my jig poles.
Another choice is Pflueger Presidents. Not badly priced, maybe the 25 size would fit your needs. Available at many stores. Mine are smooth and do a nice job.
X2 on the presidentQuote:

X3 on the presidents. 25 size is what I have.
If you really want the best then Shimano Stella is the way to go. Just be sure to be sitting down when you look at the price.
Hard to beat the presidents but for a cheaper solution I buy these . Started out getting them for loaners /kids . Now I use them on bream/ crappie rigs to cut cost .Plenty smooth and good drag . Attachment 394900
Presidents are my go-to for casting rods, but too expensive to rig a bunch of long poles with them. BPS has a black one called Megacast @$30 that is very smooth for the price. But my long rods have reels that are even cheaper - they are just line holders really.

If your looking for a fine reel you might consider this (Pflueger PRES6USCX) or (Daiwa Underspin-XD Series)
Thanks guys for all the comments and helpful advise.
I have everything on my jig poles and 14ft rods for pushing minnows.
Since I won the rod here on CDC I thought I would spend up to 75 bucks for something a little better. I run Diawa, BPS, President’s and others on those. Just looking for lightest possible with a good drag.
Probably should strip reels off 14 footers anyway.
Since Livescope I haven’t used them much but love to spider rig.
Thanks bunches

I’ve got a Shimano Sedona on my 11 ft pole and love it. Only had it a couple months but so far so good. I like the bigger reel like that (think Mitchell 308 size) on a long pole because I think it makes the balance better. Congrats on the pole!

Thanks SA
My other 3-11 footers are rigged with Diawa I think I gave like 45 bucks each for them.
I’ve been sitting on my rear end for so many years pushing double minnow rigs that I guess I’ll just have to get conditioned to standing and holding a rod for hours.
Didn’t take but a couple hours of looking at my Garmin mounted to a bridge mount to make my neck sore.
Next trip out it was about waist high on a new mount.
Getting lazy in my old age I guess.
