Yes, a simple cast & retrieve will get the job done. Sometimes, a slight pause can push finicky Whites over the edge.
I’ll use Black, White and Purple/Pearl as my mainstay heads. Sometimes I’ll try a Chartreuse Sunburst if my other colors fail to produce. 90% of the time, I’m using a 1/4oz Black Precision head. The plastic keeper goes a long ways in keeping the Paddletail in the correct position. 
Good luck chasing those Whites.
