Shad Raps are absolutely great lures for wiper, walleye, and even bass during late spring/summer. They have a good tight wobble and you can get nice erratic darting actions with them twitching and jerking without them rolling over.
For long minnow baits I prefer Rattlin Rogues, mainly because they are easier to cast with them being heavier, and they dart and twitch easier than the Rapalas.
One thing to remember IMO with these baits is make sure they are running true. I know they all say that they're tanked tested at the factory, but I have found 1 out 3 need a little tuning.
