Default Fletching Jigs

Could someone recommend a good fletching jig that I can do helical fletchings with? Is it hard to do? If you could recommend any other supplies I will need that would be great. I'm shooting Gold Tip XT 7595's with 4" fletchings. Thanks in advance!

I forgot to add that I am shooting through a Whisker Biscuit. Can I still use Helical Fletchings? I shoot Muzzy 100's 3-Blades. Thanks again.

I bought a Bitzenberger jig last year and it has worked very well. You can get different clamps to do left helical, right helical, or straight fletching. Very well made jig with a great deal of adjustability. It does cost a little more than other jigs, though.

I would say the bitzenberger if you have the money, but if you don't like me then I would buy the Martin J-8 fleatcher. I find that the martin works very well and there is no need to spend the extra money.
