I have a Bitz set up to do my carbons but it uses a Easton CB bushing for the index. This is a set up I bought at the NFAA indoor nationals a few years back and can't remember the guy that was selling this setup. I want to set up a fletcher for wood arrows and traded my extra Bitz, not very smart. I use fletching tape so a mono fletcher is all I need. I am thinking about the Jojan or the Bohning pro fletcher. Any input on these would be appricated. I would just get another Bitz, but don't need to spend that much, right now. Thanks, Don

Both of those jigs are popular with a lot of people. I think it would come down to personal preference.

I would go with the JoJan multifletcher. I use tape on it and you can do 6 arrows in 10 minutes using this fletcher.

I was thinking the Jojan but only need a mono as fletching tape only takes about 2 seconds to bond the feather. A Bitz would be great if I could find one for 40.00  :D  . Anyone use the Bohning? Thanks, Don

BPE is my favorite. Jojan would be my choice out of the 2 you listed.

I picked up one of the Bohnings on clearance a couple of years ago. At the time I was shooting compounds primarily and just needed something for spot repairs so I didn't want to spend a lot of money.I have fletched multiple carbons and at least 3 or 4 dozen woodies since that time, with everything from 2" Blazers to 5+" traditional cut natural turkey feathers, and it has worked great for all applications. I worked as an "archery tech" at Gander Mountain for a couple of years and all we used was the Bitzenburger. IMHO the only major differences between the Bitz and the Bohning is the material they are made from and obviously the price.They actually function in very much the same way and both turn out a quality fletch as long as you take your time and get everything lined up properly.

The Jo-Jan comes in a mono and multifletcher. I've had my JJ multifletcher for decades and love it.

Take a look at the Bearpaw jig--having great results with it.

Plus the options of 3,4 and 6 fletch with just the push of a switch.

JoJan multifletcher, I have been using it for over 20 years. I have 3 of them. Left, right and straight. Had a Bitz years ago and sold it.

I use a bitz. Back in the day when I had to fletch  a ton of arrows I
used a Jojan and liked it.

I tried fletching a few arrows with my buddies JoJan multifletcher with helical clamps. It did a nice job but put more twist then I like. You can adjust it to put a little less but then the feather won't be sitting perfectly on the shaft. I have a BPE pro that puts a bit less twist on the feather. It does a nice job and has alot of adjustment. If you like alot of twist then the JoJan would also be a good choice.
