In preparation for the summer I am considering getting a new rod and reel. I have a spinning reel on a 7' medium heavy rod, and a bait caster on a 6'6" medium action rod. I have always spooled both with mono. Recommend a general set up for each of the following situations.
1.) Wade fishing
2.) Topwater
3.) Popping cork

You already have that what you need.

Use that spinning reel for popping corks, and that baitcaster for topwaters. I'd buy a 7' medium light rod and a chronarch for soft plastics

What sort of wade fishing are you doing?

Put braid on your baitcaster. Buy another so you can have them each rigged for cork, topwater and jigs. Less time line tying.

I really can't think of anything to add that would be better than what you already have.
What brands are your gear?

I prefer the spinning reel setup for wadefishing, since you can generally cast further out. I have spider wire on my Okuma and haven't had any problems.
I prefer the baitcasting setup when fishing out of the boat.
