What's the best way to rig a surface iron?

X4. Save the fluoro for bait. I still back with spectra but want a mono topshot a little longer than I can cast so the knot doesn't go through the guildes on the cast... either that or a short leader so the knot doesn't go though the guides (more of a kelp cutter rig).
