What it is
Hareline Chicone’s Material and Fly PrEP Station is a fly tying material and fly prep station for organizing and staging work at the bench. It’s built around a modular design so you can customize the setup around how you tie and what you reach for most.
What to tie with it
Use it to hold and prep flies while you work through repetitive steps, especially when you’re tying multiples and want each one to come out the same. It’s also a handy place to park flies while adhesives cure, like when you’re gluing up crab-style patterns, and to stage materials so your bench stays predictable from fly to fly.
Flies and the fish they're for
This kind of station shows up most when you’re building glued or shaped saltwater patterns like crab flies, where you want the fly held steady while you’re setting legs, eyes, and glue joints for fish like redfish and permit on flats. It also fits production tying of common freshwater patterns where consistency matters from one fly to the next for trout on rivers and stillwaters.
How it compares
Compared with other fly-tying stations, the key difference called out here is the modular design that lets you customize the station to your workflow rather than working around a fixed layout.
