As brucelanthier said, the greyling or the jo jan would work very well for a starter jig. I had the Jo Jan for my first jig and it worked good. But since I got a bitzenburger, there is no comparison. The bitz is a little expensive, but doesn't an awesome job. The Jo Jan does, however, do a very good job at fletching and I wouldn't hesitate buying it. Never used a greyling...
