Hello all newbie here.
My question is what size jig head and length for the tube is normally best this time of yr in the DFW area?

The sky is the limit...most use 1/8...use 1/16 or 1/32 when shallow water spawn hits...hope this helps...lots of info on this forum, so ask away!

Welcome aboard
I use the 1/8th when the wind is blowing
1/16th in shallow/calm water

Usually the lightest you can fish depending on wind, depth, vertical fishing, or casting. At least that's what I have always done. If throwing a cork, you could use 1/32 or 1/48, deep water with wind it's probably be good to use 1/8 oz. +. If casting/retrieving, try a 1/16. I guess on the body length, 1-1//2 to 2-1/2" is pretty standard.

Welcome!

1/16 most of the time and 1/32 some of the time.

this for me as well

I use a 1/8 or a 1/16 most of the time. Use the lightest you can while still staying in contact with the jig. If you are brand new to jig fishing, I would probably recommend a 1/8 until you get more feel of the jig and what it is doing down there.

Mostly use 1/8th all the time

+1 on what Bobby said!
And it's got to be chartruse!

We use 1/16 size 4 or 2 depending on what plastics of ours we are using

changin to 1/16 as i type for the duration till next winter for crappie
wont fish much deeper than 20 from about here on till next nov or dec

Most of the time I use a 1/32. But I recently learned that , the deeper you fish the heavier you need to be.

And

1/16 75% and 1/8 25% .
