Hareline Standard Tool Kit With Pedestal Base

What it is

Hareline’s Standard Tool Kit with Pedestal Base is a fly-tying tool kit built around a pedestal-style tying setup. It’s meant to keep the essentials you touch every fly right at the bench, including a pedestal base with a magnetic dish for holding hooks and small metal parts.

What to tie with it

This kit is aimed at the core bench jobs: holding the hook securely, feeding thread with a bobbin, cutting materials cleanly, and finishing heads with a whip finisher. The included tools cover common steps like applying and blending dubbing with a pick/brush tool, handling small feathers and fibers with hackle pliers, and getting thread through the bobbin with a threader.

Flies and the fish they're for

With a basic tool set like this, you’re set up to tie the everyday trout and grayling staples you fish on rivers, plus a lot of stillwater patterns for trout as well. The pedestal base is also a nice fit for tying at a desk or travel bench, so you can crank out everything from small nymphs and dry flies to simple streamers for trout without needing a dedicated tying station.
