Born to Grapple

[Squid Bait]

I'm trying to improve a character's grapple check. Any suggestions on skills, feats, spells, enhancements, or PrCs that can aid me in my quest.

I've already used or considered: Imp. Grapple (feat), Enlarge Person (spell), Bull Strength (spell)

Polymorph? Use it to polymorph into something with improved grab. Also, there was an item in a 3.0 splat book that gave like +5 to grapple checks (it was gloves of some sort).

You could use the Grip of Iron Power. It is a 1st Level Psychic Warrior powe that provides a +4 enhancement bonus to grapple checks and the bonus can be increased by +2 per 4 power points you spend.

Well, there is always weapon focus (grapple), or if you're creating a new character a race with the powerful build ability like the half-giant or goliath. For prestige classes there is the reaping mauler from Complete Warrior. And that's all I can think of at the moment.

Edit: Actually for defensive purposes there is Clever Wrestling to help you escape grappling or a pin from a larger creature.

Edit 2: Also, these won't improve your grapple checks, but these feats are pretty fun for a grappling character. Earth's Embrace from Complete Warrior and Choke Hold from Oriental Adventures. If you can pin your opponent for 1 round they are in for it.
