I have a SSU 120mh. It is a great rod and seems very tough. I abused it pretty hard for 2 years without any issues. I found I preferred it to the 1205 and the Kennedy Fisher 8740 I own, but not to the GSB1321M 11 foot blank I use now for the same purposes.

As Mike points out, there were breakage issues in the 120M (near the tip) and 132MH(near the butt)....apparently because of wall thickness variation (ie manufacturing fault). Reportedly that has been corrected and the blank strengthened. I have not heard of issues with the MH 10 foot model. Either way, Lami seems to have shot themselves in the foot with this series and their reputation taken a beating because of it.
