not quite...... When the CG and CB are the same position you have total Neutral Static Stability. Very little to no action unless acted upon.

Neutral stability is Great for a metal lip,,, not so great for a needle your trying to swim on a retrieve.

Try not to get to deep in all this...

Confidence in what your throwing and knowing just how to work it is probably the biggest factor in a plugs success as a fish taker more than anything else.

Bingo....
