Default CB SWR meter on 122Mhz?

How well do you think a CB SWR meter will work for testing the antenna

Not worth a damn. The sensing circuitry is almost certainly not going to work
properly at VHF. A meter designed for the 2-meter ham radio band would work,
though.

What are you trying to find out? Unless something is corroded or broken,
whatever problem you have is probably not your antenna.
