My current rod/reel/line setup
Garcia Ambassador 5600 c4 baitcaster on an Medium 5'6" Ulgy Stick w/ 10lb line (crank and spinner bait)
older Quantum AF 200c baitcaster on a Medium 5'6" Magnum Lite GT-1552 fightin rod w/ 8lb line (Swimbait or a worm)
Shapespeare Mantis 4.9:1 spinner on a Medium 6' Mantis rod w/8-lb line (My fav for flipp'n & pitch'n)
Cardinal Blackmax 5.1:1 spinner on a Medium 6'6" Zebco Rhino that were handed down to me (keep a heavy jig on it)

I am looking to replace or add to my equipment with either a Revo S or SX and a Bass Pro Shops Bionic Blade Trigger Rod Medium-Heavy 7' for plastics.
I tend to fish creeks and points(texas/caro. worms, jigs, spinnerbiats), but with the summer heat been learning to fish deeper(carolina and cranking).

to be dead honest with you, other than an additional 7' MH rod for deep cranks...you'll be fine adding the Revo S or SX and BB rod.

7 MH works with everything you have in mind, and the Revo S is a fine reel, and the SX even better.

I say get 2 7 MH rods so you can have a carolina rig and the deep crank on at the same time on different rigs. If you like the Bionic Blade, then go with it, I have several and they are good rods.

The longer rods really make wormin/carolina riggin and deep cranking easier.

Sounds like you've got your setup picked out. Throwing the baits you listed, you should be real happy with either Revo and the Bionic Blade. You'll be amazed the first time you set the hook and fight a fish with the 7' rod.
