Zodias Casting B is a 15-model casting series updated from the original Zodias lineup. The blank uses Hi-Power X cross-wrap construction throughout, and all models use a CI4+ reel seat. The series covers a broader technique range than the standard Zodias, including BFS (ZDC68ULPBFSB, ZDC71LBFSB), strolling/low-modulus models (ZDC70M-LMB, ZDC73MH-LMB), plus-power variants (ZDC71MPB, ZDC73MHPB, ZDC74XHPB), and a long-range heavy swimbait model (ZDC79XHB).

Lengths run from 6'8" through 7'9". The LM-suffix models use low-modulus carbon elements for increased blank compliance in applications like topwater and large swimbaits. The P-suffix models indicate plus-power or plus-length configurations tuned for heavier presentations within a given power class. Prices range from $259.99 to $289.99. The XH model ZDC74XHPB at 7'4" handles 5/8-3 oz lures on 14-30 lb line, and ZDC79XHB at 7'9" covers 5/8-2 oz on 14-30 lb.

The B generation adds SKUs beyond the original Zodias Casting lineup, extending into heavy casting and specialized blank variants while keeping price accessibility in the mid-range tier.
