Okuma EVx B-Series Musky is a dedicated musky casting rod series made for anglers throwing large lures (1–16 oz) on heavy braid or mono (30–130 lb). The series is all-casting, all baitcasting format, and covers the typical musky technique range: glide baits, bucktails, topwater, jerkbaits, and large rubber lures. The lure weight floor of 1 oz and minimum line of 30 lb confirm musky focus. Blanks are 24-ton carbon fiber with UFR (Unidirectional Fiber Reinforcement) at the tip section, claimed to triple strength and lifting power in the tip.

Relevant when fighting large fish close to the boat. Standard models feature split cork grip; "FG" models (full-grip) use a continuous rear cork grip. Both variants use Sea Guide double-foot, deep-press stainless steel guides to handle the torque of large lure retrieves and fish fights. Nine models total, all casting. Lengths run 7'6" to 9'3". Powers span H through XXH. The 7'6" models are the shorter/lighter end (H and XH) for finesse musky or river situations; the 9'3" models (XH, XXH) are distance-casting configurations for open-water reservoirs.

Two FG (full-grip) models at 8'6" and 9'3" XH intended anglers who prefer full-grip ergonomics for long retrieves.

EVx-C-761H-Tb Casting · 7' 6" · H · MF action

Lightest and shortest model in the series at 7'6" H power and 1–8 oz. Handles smaller bucktails, spinnerbaits, or lighter jerkbaits; viable for river musky or medium-water situations where shorter reach is an advantage.

EVx-C-861XHT-FG Casting · 8' 6" · XH · MF action

Full-grip (FG) variant of the 8'6" XH model. The continuous cork rear grip suits anglers who prefer palming the grip during long figure-eight sequences at boat-side, reducing wrist fatigue on extended sessions.

EVX-C-861XXH-Tb Casting · 8' 6" · XXH · F action

Heaviest standard model in the 8'6" length. The fast action paired with XXH power and 4–16 oz lure range serves oversized prop baits, heavy rubber, or large glide baits on big water. Line rating tops at 130 lb, showing heavy braided main lines.
