I have a JoJan and a Bitz both good fletchers and both work well. Buy one you'll like it. As far as price just shop around you'll find they are all priced preety much the same. Frank

I have a JoJan Straight Multi-Fletch that was given to my about 20 years ago and the original was probably 80 when he gave it to me. That is good enough quality for me.

If you are new at this game a Jo Jam Mono might be your best bet. Do just one feather at a time and get 'em right. That's how I've been fletching the past eight years. What's the hurry? Have fun at it.

A great fletching jig.

I am very picky and still can't see spending more for a jig.

I've used several and for me the jo jan is the simplist one to use.

I now own all Bitz.  But for years I used a JoJan Multi fletcher.  I fletched 1000's of arrows for clients, with it and never had a problem.  Get the best that you can afford.  They will all put on good fletching, if you take your time and learn how to use it correctly.
Then take your time and have a ball!

I have no complaints about my jo jan.  Just figure out where you need to put the feather to keep it from brushing your finger stalls/tab on release and mark it.  I like mine fine.

JO-Jan,no complaints but I'd dry run a shaft and feather or several if you go with the multi- fletch, had to do some adjusting on the sliders to get feathers to touch on shafts correctly,I think I used 3 shafts and feathers at the same time,if the fletcher gets out of square before you get everything locked down,it might hit right on part of the jig and not somewhere else,strangely enough,I was looking around earlier on sportsman's guide and they had the multi's for less than $90.00 didn't check on available clamps but thought this was a good price.

I have a multi Jo-Jan and love it... I use Fletch tape and 1 helical clamp. The other 5, I use to hold arrows to dry sealer, mount points.

One thing I love about the JoJan; you can wipe excess glue from EACH side of the feather while it's in the jig.

At least 23 yrs on my Jo-Jan. Slow being a mono fletcher, but I know the jig is always set the same   ;)  

Makes single feather replacement pretty easy.

I own a jo jan multi and have had no problems with it.  I goty lucky and found mine at Bass Pro.  It was in a stack with a bunch of others but for some reason it was only $65 and all the rest were $95.
