reel design

can anyone remember an artical a couple of months back about reel designs something about making the foot smaller and that it wasnt rocket sience to design just a clever lil idea that anyone could of thought of , well it said that any ideas would help with the design. well it was based on a a more traditional type rod, but the design could be improved if you remember that not all rod design are the old type. there are rods that has line that goes thru the blank, with a lil thought from the reel designer with this rod in mind and any future advancements with this kind of rod, he could make that design a realty, if anyone could pass this on to him it would be appreciated
