Default Owners and Their Expensive Rods

Have you ever noticed how Owners seem to end up looking like their Expensive Rods?

I own a slim, tall and powerful Expensive Rod which is beautifully finished, unique and looks absolutely gorgeous.

It's also very well put together and a favourite of eveyone who sees it.

I see, so if I apply a small amount of pressure on you at the correct angle and location you'll snap like a KitKat?

I own a medium-priced, functional, no-frills rod... and wouldn't have it any other way

Fat rods? Yes. You just need to look at a thin rod in a bad mirror.
