Default Fletching jigs(types)

Thinking about trying to do my own arrows and have been looking into getting a jig. Right now, according to my shop, I'm shooting ACCs with a right offset fletch(not sure of the degree, not much though). Looking at jigs, mainly the Bitz, I only see straight or helical, nothing that says anything about offset or degrees of offset. Is there a difference or is helical just another name for offset?

I've got the Bitzenburger dial-a-fletch , you can adjust to what offset you want .... brilliant piece of kit .

So there is a difference! Now, would I use a straight clamp or a helical clamp to fletch arrows with a slight offset?

Thank you for your knowledge.

If you are just looking for offset use the straight and you can adjust the offset with the 2 dials on the jig.
