Good points Mike. When pulling stick baits such as Raps I always run them "naked" or without any other attraction.
Basically anything the spins around including gang trolls such as F.Fenders are flashers while a blade that wobbles back and forth without spinning is generally thought of as a dodger. Of course if you pull a dodger to fast it spins around as well.
They make two basic kinds of dodgers for moving or imparting action to a bait. The skateboard style is shaped like an oval race track and works well at speeds up to 1.2 or 1.3 while the sling blade style, much more narrow and elongated is meant for higher speed trolling of 1.4 up to 2 mph.
If you don't have a slower trolling motor and are using the main without a trolling plate you might want to look at sling blade style dodgers for Kokanee.
