I assume you are asking for a recommendation?

If so, the BPE Pro series fletcher, the Bitzenburger, or the Jo-Jan (single or multi) are all good designs.

I prefer the BPE pro series(not the cheaper version) as it's highly adjustable, precise and less expensive than a Bitz. However I also have the Jo-Jan multi-fletcher which comes in handy when doing feathers due to the increased drying time vs. vanes.

Although many folks use and love them, I am not a fan of the Arizona Easy fletch.

I agree, I don't like the easy fletch either.

The Arizona Easy fletch is certainly the least expensive jig available. It will get the job done. However, it is not as precise as the other jigs. It's all plastic and it is real easy to do a messy job.

Blitzenberger seems to be the concensus best followed by Jo Jan.

I gave up on the Easy fletch and currently buying my arrows fletched.

I know it's not cheap, but consider the fact that most archery shops have a turntable full of Bitzenburgers for their fletching needs. These things are heavy duty and last a lifetime. They do a very nice, consistent job as well.

I'm leaning toward buying a Bitz myself, but I wonder how the Grayling does.
It looks about the same, except for the plastic parts.
Can it do everything a Bitz can?
I think I'm going with the Bitz anyway, but I'd like to hear from someone who has used a Grayling.

I had a Grayling and gave it away in favor of the Bitz. There's really no comparison. There's too much play in the Grayling to get consistent, 120 degree angles between the fletching.
