I had my 120 1MH for 4 seasons, and just sold it to a buddy of TO's this past spring. It's a very strong rod. I didn't care for the NGC guide layout, though. It seemed to me to be very "reel-sensitive" in that it liked some spools better than others. I found that it threw a lot better with a big spool like an Emblem Pro 5500 than a Shimano 8000 spool.
The only one that I ever saw break caught a bush on the back-swing and snapped on the cast. That will happen with any rod. I felt that it was an honest 2-6 rod. Maybe someday I'll pick up a blank and have it built with a different guide lay-out. I really do like it as a Canal jigging blank. But, I still have an older All Star 1208 which I like even better than the SSU, and that will probably be the next one to have changed over to a better guide lay-out.
