Yup, that was how I learned to work poppers for stripers - Phil Schwin talks about it in his book from the 70s - "Striped Bass and other Cape Cod Gamefish" - works like a charm.
As for breaking off the lip for Rebels down in the Keys - that is a tried and true method most definitely, but that is immitate the needlefish that skitter across the surface trying to escape cudas, jacks, etc. Works great and is awesome action - did that out in the area known as the Lakes just West of Key West before you cross Boca Grande Channel to the Marquesas Keys.
