I have never tied any kip tail on jigs that large and especially that large of a hook. Almost all the ones I tied were using g a 1/16 Oz head and a #6 Sickle hook. Here is a pic of the first two I ever tied and on samples of the heads I used. Had a guy make the mold for the head and make the heads for these jigs. I got this head made from some copying heads some guys from Louisiana sent me to see if I could make some for them. Their guy had quit tying so got these heads made and then tied them a lot of jigs.
I never have some #2 Sickles on 1.8 Oz heads, but would tie some other material on a hook that large. Maybe try some fox or Squirrel tail?
