Harold, I have an automatic reel that I don't use. if that will help I can send it to you. Just let me know where to send it.
Also, I was thinking that a wrist support, a glove and some velcro could be sewn into a griping aid. I have some ideas for a design. If you think that would help let me know, I might be able to have one made up for her to try.
