Re: reel handles
Are you sure?
Is it worth pimping up that reel?
Not saying you can't/shouldn't, but usually people pimp up expensive toys. And the upgrades are usually to fit expensive toys. Not sure if there's anything that can fit that reel.
You can check ebay and AliExpress, there's quite a few things to style up reels. Just make sure it fits to your reel.

Re: reel handles
No idea. Usually I just search for the reel's name and model.
Like: shimano caius baitcast handle.
Or something like that.

Re: reel handles
You'd need to measure the diameter of the shaft, or google what the diameter is, to be certain that a third party handle would fit.
There are plenty of awesome brands out there which produce third party custom parts at varying price points.
Gomexus is a retailer within Australia which produces aluminium/carbon fibre/titanium handles at a relatively affordable price. For transparency, I'm sponsored by Gomexus, so I'll have a natural bias towards the brand.
Googling the model on the brands website, it says that this model of baitcaster is a 7x4mm and a direct fit. More details google the below handle.
https://gomexus.com/products/baitcastin ... 3686327395
Here is the range they offer, top link is just baitcasters (as this is a combo model, the name of the reel may not be listed). The bottom link is another retailer.

Hope that infomation helps, even if it's just regarding the thread size!

Re: reel handles
I had to do a double take on that rod grip.
Never knew the grips made such a difference to the sensitivity.

Re: reel handles
Reel handles and knobs are a nice extra to add to an outfit but I'd highly recommend saving your money and putting it towards something else at this stage in your fishing journey
