Does anyone know what the difference is performance wise between these and the regular premier series musky rods?

The difference in materials will make the glass rod inherently heavier than the Premier series. The glass will have a more parabolic(bending further down the blank) bend under strain(fish) than the comparable graphite model. The glass rod will have a 'slower' action than the Premier.Glass is traditionally more durable than graphite, but the Premiers are very durable for a graphite rod. Many use the glass model for trolling as well as live bait(sucker) fishing. The glass model is versatile in that respect and I wouldn't hesitate throwing big rubber with it either, although it may not be the 'ideal' tool for that job. Great rod. Steve
