For surf fishing here on the west coast we are using both integrated and non integrated set ups. I have both and prefer to build my own non integrated. My set up is a Rio intermediate shooting line coldwater (.024 in) to a 25-30 ft T-8,11 or 14 head to a furled leader w/ a three way swivel to two flies. Haven't done anything with a floating line here because of the wave issues. Loop the whole thing together with some braided mono loops and you are good to go. Look here for instuctions for the loop. http://www.danblanton.com/gettinglooped.html
