Need Help

I have always used live bait what is the best jig size heads and tubes to use I would like to learn how to catch crappie on jigs.

I'm ko help here as I'm a minnows Fisher for the most part. But I see alot of the guys post 1/32 and 1/16 jigs size. Any body should be good, just use different colors until you find the one they like best for that day.
Also depends on the body of water your fishing as for body size. Just my 2 cents.
Best of luck.

Welcome aboard, you asked the million dollar question!
All head sizes and all jigs will work at some point. Having a good mix of them and to be able to try different tackle on any given day to see what the fish want is the key to catching crappie on jigs. I can say 1/32 and 1/16 oz jigheads would be the top two sizes I use but have sizes in 1/80 to 1/4 oz in my box. Jig to try, this will be a endless question. Plastics and tied jigs both "will" catch crappie. Get a few color combos in dark colors for low light fishing and bright colors for blue sky fishing.
Use the search here on CDC and read reports to see what is working or what has worked well on a lake you want to fish. There is a endless well of knowledge on CDC and the reason reading reports are so helpful. Look for water temp, clear-stained-muddy water clarity, jig size/jigs and depth of catching. This will tell you what to use/try on the lake the report was about.

First of all what type of fishing are you doing. Are you spider rigging, long lining, jigging over brush or casting. Next question is what depth are the fish at. The technique you are doing will depend on what size jig head to use if used alone or with additional weight (such as spider rigging). Like stump said read all the articles you can on the various types of fishing techniques. I would forgo the tubes and get some curly tails and Charlie sliders in blue black chartreuse, pink, bright and dark colors. When I read a post I always pay attention to what color and style jig is used if they post pictures

CrappieFire I do a lot of pulling. I almost always use 1/8 oz to keep it simple. I do have a few 1/16 if they are really shallow. I love road runner or pony heads but pull a lot of regular ball heads. I like yellow and white, green, pink and yellow, and orange and yellow for go to colors. I use almost all curly tails of some type. I love the arkies little fish curly tails. They are a little bigger than regular ones. I usually start out with different colors on all and the fish will let you know what they want pretty quick.

Thanks for all the advise I'll try it all

I pretty much only troll and use mostly slider jigs which are a paddle tail jig. Like sinkermaker said it depends on which style of fishing you are going to do. I have only trolled with a tube jig a few times but others may use em all the times.As for size I use 1/16 but at times when the fish are down 15' or so I can't get that deep with the 1/16 so I switch to a 1/8.As for color,that's the big question. Some lakes the fish will kill a certain color and you think boy I got em figured out and go to a different lake and they won't bite it at all. A color with a chartreuse tail is good. Black or junebug chartreuse. I never even try a solid white jig but hear of others catching a lot on them. A lot and I mean a LOT of it will take trail and error,or better translated no fish caught to working your way up to limits caught. I've got WAY more colors in my jig box that I have not caught limits of fish off of than colors that I constantly catch fish off of.
