Looks like some or many of the excellent alternatives found on Amazon and elsewhere might also have small finger holes that might not accomodate gnarly old farmer fingers. The friend I made these for is a big old (80+) Minnesota farmer, not a svelte young surgeon. My focus here was intended to be the home made larger finger holes made of stainless steel rod and silver-brazed on to an available but unusable-to-my-friend tool to give him a home made tool usable by and useful to him. It may be the only such homemade tool on the planet, custom made for him.
My focus was on what he needs rather than what's available to buy on the internet that may or may not work for him, and on how we can (and should) use our skills and tools to help others if and when we see opportunities. Maybe my good friend and neighbor at the lake will catch more walleyes if able to more readily change lures.
If he does, he surezhell won't tell me where he caught 'em or on whut, but we do enjoy amazing produce from his bounty. Ya can't buy food that good in the cities. Nobody eats better than farmers.
