Default Wraps or no wraps?

I got a new bohning fletching tool to try out instead of using my buddies bitz. It seems to work just fine i was wondering how many people here use wraps when fletching. And what are the main advantages. Also whats the better type of wrap to use, there seems to be alot out there with a large flux in price.

Go wraps, get them through onestringer on this site, he will customize anything you want in any size. advantages are brightness, seeing where your shot goes.

What he said + wraps and fletcting comes off much easier than fletches straight off shafts when you need to refletch.

I like wraps just because they seem to make the arrow more visible after a kill and pass through.

I like wraps becuase I can see the arrow better in flight and when you go to refletch, there isn't near as big of a "mess" to clean up. The disadvantage to them though is you can't only refletch one vane. If one vane is bad, you have to take all them off. Minor disadvantage in my book and the advantages out-weigh the disadvantages.
