Hi All- just purchased this outfit today for $80 anyone know anything about this ugly stick never seen anything like. I really was just searching for a penn 113h reel and found this setup.
Lucky man Eddie, is it a 113H or a 114H, nice set up, I would try & take the rollers out of the rod, then hone the roller & the bush, out with very fine steel wool then lube them with marine grease, specialy if you dont intend to cast with it, otherwise, use a light oil, cheers Don.
The Reel is a 113H,spooled with wire.
I agree with Donny, make sure the rollers are able, and do roll easily or at least remove the wire line, as it will groove the rollers, in the guides and you will be disappointed someday. Aftco did make hardened rollers for the wire line application but the frame will be stamped with an H.
Possibly some careful heat application to the screws may be helpful in loosening them . Use care, go slow. Good luck fishing.🎣

All done with the Rod had no issues removing the screws thank you Jesus! Used fine steal wool on the guides and rollers and lightly greased them up. I won't fish this rod I will display it in my man cave.
Its hanging up and has plenty of company
