The Curado should work for the frogs. You can use a lower gear ratio for the spinners/chatters/buzzers, maybe in the 6:1 range, give or take.
You can try the 6-6 MH for the frogs if you don't want to get another rod. The braid will help, but you may have an issue if you get a big fish in really thick cover; the longer, stiffer rod does make a difference. The 6-6 should be fine if you're just fishing pads or thin slop. Maybe start with that one and see if you need to upgrade down the road. I just don't want you to miss hog-zilla, that's all.
