I have a SSU 132 1MH. It is way overrated at 4-8. I'd rate it more as a 2-5 oz rod.

IMO it's the most overpriced rod that Lami makes, as it really gives you no greater performance than the GSB 132 1M that runs a hundred bucks cheaper.

The SSU 120 1MH is, IMO, rated fairly accurately at 2-6 oz. I've never thrown 6, but I do throw 5 on it from time to time and I've never felt that I was asking too much from it. You can also throw 1.5 or even 1 oz with it if you need to. I have that one, too. I think it's a stronger rod than the GSB 120 1M.

If you're really looking for a true 4-8 stick in 11', look at the two piece SSU. I have never seen as drastic a difference between one and two piece models of the same blank, as the one between the SSU 132 1MH and the 2 MH. They are two vastly different blanks.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
