You are fine to use a rig on the same setup since you are not casting the weight. The rod ratings are typically rated as loading the rod up during the backswing on a cast. Since you are heading with the kids I am assuming that you will likely skip the very sporty days where you would need 10+oz lead to hold with a rig. That is about the weight you would want to consider a different setup. 6oz rigs should be fine to use on a spinner as long as you drop straight down and don't try to cast. Those tackle choices seem economical and sturdy. Should be similar to your sheepshead trips. Have fun! It's pretty addicting!!
