My curado 51e works just fine for frogging.

I use a Curado I with a HawgTech handle for my frogging. Great reel for that application. I also have a CH50E. Given the choice as a frogging reel I will lean towards the Curado I. The 50E  is a great reel I love mine and it better serves me in other applications.

I do have to agree that a curado I HG would be a better choice though.

I would personally want the Curado I in the 7:1 ratio...   I want the reel as fast as I can get when I'm throwing a frog.

The I in a 7:1 is an ideal match for frogging. I failed to mention that I use the 7:1, that speed matched with the right rod makes for an awesome setup. 

yea ive got a curado i for my texas rig setup. love it. ill probably go with another especially since they can be found around 139 now

Not to thread jack but are there any functional gains from adding a hawgtech handle ?

More leverage with a longer handle.
