Lmao thank you
In all seriousness, I don't throw any swimbaits over ~3oz, so I really can't help.
@SPEEDBEAD. might be able to help.

Dang, just 4 more oz and you could weigh it in on MLF.
My suggestion is look into some Musky rods. They might be rated heavy enough to throw a bait like that.

???? I’m a MLF fan, but that one got me! ????
Over the counter, Dobyns DC908 w/400 Calcutta D or Tranx will work.

Yupp thinking about the 908 been hard to find one or a lowdown customs when they drop another xxh
Muskie Rod. This size lure is thrown by Muskie aficionados all day long. I have a bunch of 8+ oz lures I throw at skies and I wouldn't think of using any other kind of rod.
St Croix makes some great ones and I have 2 cabelas rods I love.
Most guys are tossing baits that sized on customs it seems. Muskie rods and swimbait rods aren't the same despite being built to handle similar sized baits. While they can work, I doubt you're looking into a budget rod when you're dropping the coin on that bait.
Oliver Ngy has a video of him unboxing/ throwing the CNB, I’m pretty sure he mentions the rod he’s throwing it on.
St Croix has some Mojo Muskie rods in the Rod Shopper clearance
F5 custom
Brad from F5 can take care of you.
Diawa DX swimbait rod 8' Extra Extra Heavy 4 to 15 oz for $110. I have five of their swimbait rods and fish them every week have been impressed with the performance.

If the XXH is anything like the H I own, it's not gonna huck a CNB. Hell, I won't huck over 4oz on my DXSB H.

I've thrown 7 oz for full 8 hour days with my heavy. It seemed to handle it fine. Only thing worst for wear was me.

Sidearm lobs, allowing the bait to momentum itself out there or full, rod loading overhead casts? I still feel my stick is rated higher than it is capable of and most every review says so as well.
I would buy the DC908 SB and order the custom rod and evaluate both, easy to sell Dobyns rod, the F5 and LDC are back ordered about 3 to 6 months.

Posted a while ago but Ended up getting a ldc xxh will be here Tuesday
Never heard of Low Down Custom Rods before. After a quick search I'd have to say you got a nice rod. Be sure to post back your opinions on it.
Personally I don't fish those type of lures and have no desire to do so, but nonetheless I enjoy reading about techniques I don't use. Never know, but even an old dog like me has been known to change his mind on occasion.

I think you made a good choice. I got to fish someone else’s for a day, and it was amazing.
