I have scanned a lot of ladies over the years.... just never for custom shoes.

OK update. the ARDENT grips didn't work well., but i bought some 1/16in cork 1 in wide roll. it's ugly for my first try but it works well.

Buy a basic cork Tennessee grip handle. Buy black trot line cord. Install the Tennessee grip. Wind a layer of the cord before and after the reel grip area. Use epoxy to coat the cord and irrevocably bind it to your grip. Use tacky wrap to fix your reel to the grip and bind it to the over wrap.  Maybe not pretty but effective.

thank you everyone for your input. final result. i used 1 in wide 1/8 thick cork then scotch 2228 tape. worked well.
