What is the best glue to use on GT trad blems when using feathers? I use Duco on wood but heard it cant be used on carbons?

I used to be a Bohning Fletch-tite fan. But switched to Saunders NPV. I like it. I've yet to find something that feathers didn't stick to.

I use Gel Control Loctite Super Glue on my GT trads and never had a problem. I use wraps as well so that if my feathers get messed up I can easily strip the wrap & feathers and refletch the arrow.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I have to vote for the Saunders NPV, it is the best I have found.  Works on every shaft material I have tried it on.

I know you didn't ask for this, but I've had good success with bohning fletch tape.  Put a touch of goat tuff on the ends.  Very quick.

I've used both Saunders NPV and Fletch Tite. Both work. I recommend cleaning the shaft with denatured alcohol before fletching with either glue.

I really like the glue from bear paw archery. Sets really fast and goes a long way. Haven't had any issues with it at all.

On bare carbon, NPV. On wraps either NPV or the nail it's gone fletch tite. Have also used the locktite stuff but like the Gorllia super glue in blue cap bottle better.
Not a big fan of super glues, hard to get off shafts it seems.

I know this is outside the OP parameters, but I still like fletch tape. The tape has some kind of contact cement and I believe all contact cements rely on the amount of pressure applied, rather than the duration. After I get the clamp in place on the shaft, I press the shaft up against the clamp HARD!

I have yet to lose a feather. They may get ripped up badly to where I have to replace them, but they have never come loose from the shaft.
