I think the ARA rods get a bad rap on breaking. The only one I have seen break is a 1083. That was by people lifting fish. I have heard of the 1084 breaking but I believe they cahnged that model to be more durable.
The 1205's don't break as far as I know. When I reference Ron Arra fishing with a breaken one , apparently it got caught in a ceiling fan at a rod building show.
Anyway , the GSB120 1M is a great rod. You'll like it.
