My first jig was the Bohning, didn't care for it much.

I now use the Grayling, if I remember right it was a bit cheaper than the other ones of that style.  For a one at a time jig, it does what I need and I can do LH, RH helical or straight.  Can't say it's the best, but I'm not looking to replace it.

I tried the plastic ones, but I’m too messy and it doesn’t take long to mess up the clamps

Went back to the good old bitz

Another vote for the Bitzenburg. It's all I've ever used but it works everytime.

Just started fletching my own and with no established preferences, I went with the Arizona E-Z Fletch Pro. Just have to clean it after each use to keep the glue from building up on the arms. Fletched about 18 arrows with no issues so far...

I've used my Jo-jan for a few decades. I like fletching 6 arrows at a time and it's a simple set-up.

I had a bhoning tower jig and it was fast but had inconsistencies in fletch placement, some would be 1/32nd high or low and didn’t like it. So I got a bitz and have fletched around 30 arrows so far and it’s been great, only downside is if your doing helical your limited to around 1.5-2 degree helical fletch.

I like the Arizona ez fletch mini max for the best helical out of the jig.

The bitzenburger is alright but it needs the zenith archery upgrade if you run 204 diameter shafts or smaller and you want to get some helical on those shafts.
