Looks like a trolling rod based on the butt section.

Jamie, I don't have a clue and I have a no name fish killing rod that was my number one producer last year. It was a brown blank and all that was left of the label under the fore grip was "world's finest". It has a color scheme now like the Captain America shield so I call it my Captain America rod. Good luck finding the make of the blank.

Back in the day, only trolling rods 80# class on up came with roller guides.  Anything lower used boat guides.  Hard to tell anything more based on pics...you may need to run line though it and pull at different drag ranges to see how the rod bends.
