Two Piece Rod Ferrules

jerry dollar:
latex tourniquets such as are used to wrap around an arm to start I.V.'s or draw blood can be spirally wrapped above and below the ferrule to provide a secure grip. also works great wrapped a mayonaisse or pickle jar to open it! if you know anyone who works in a hospital, they can get you all you need for free.

Russ Roberts:
The behind-the-kneecaps method Brandon mentions works very well, at least with lighter spinning and fly rigs, and I have been using it for many years.  It provides so much leverage that I found, as a young man, my hands would slip.  In later years, I find that my grip is the limiting factor. 

I would think that in extreme cases, combining the neoprene and going behind the knees would be the way to go.
