what conditions would you use one of these? i found one in a bargain rack for 0.50 so i thought id get it.... its a 1/4 stanley jig

I like throwing white lures when bass are chasing shad or during the spawning season for bass. 

I agree with Kidbee I also throw them when the water is clear.

btw stanley makes a great jig good luck with it.

the only time i use a white jig is when I am sight-fishing ,the rest of the, time solid black.

White mimics a shad, throw when shad are present.

I use white jigs as a swimmin jig to mimic baitfish.  Works great when bass are feeding on schooled baitfish.

Great for swimming a jig, especially during the fall season. I actually will use it during a bluegill spawn as well. It's not my first choice during this time, but it has worked for me in the past.

I use white jigs primarily for swim jigs.  Have had great success this year with this technique.

Later,

they also work in stained and muddy water. so I guess what we all are saying is yes they are worth well more than 50 cents. grab em while you can.
