Hmmm, I don't know of any existing ones but it should be easy enough to create.
Just pleat a piece of paper lots of times, crimp or reverse the line downwards and thin it a bit more. With the pleats you should have enough paper to form a nice hook on one end and the reel on the other side.

Sounds like another design challenge coming up

That looks pretty good but i was thinking that it should have its own seperate reel to attatch to the rod...ive been designing some but cant get any good looking ones lol. But that rood looks great!
