It is very possible that I am seeing things or maybe that I once imagined it, but....

About 5 years ago (maybe), I could have swore that strike king made a lipless crankbait that was 100% pure chartreuse.  no craw striping, no outlining in black, just strictly an eye and the body.  Again, pure chartreuse in color (other than the eye).

Does this lure exist or has it ever?  If so, I want one, maybe three:)

I have seen a bunch of chartreuse lipless cranks but they also double up with other colors.  

Can anyone help me out?

This is the closest thing I recall in the red eye shad. Has an orange belly stripe and glitter on the body but it's solid chartreuse.

Have a couple custom painted. Wont cost you too much for a solid chartreuse bait.

Can't think of Strike King making the color but I know XCalibur made the Xr-series trap in an all chartreuse/green and yellow. Closest I've ever seen.

Why not just buy the bait you want and some chartreuse spray paint? Seems to me to be the easiest option instead of trying to track down something that may or may not exist.

Just went through and straightened up my Rattle Traps thought for sure I had a solid chartreuse for you. Closest I come are Diamond Traps that bodies are solid chartreuse but the bottoms are orange or backs are green. Let us know how you make out. Taking one you have and spraying it might be your best option. You could spray up some of those cheapie Cotton Cordells you find in the $1.00 bin at Wally World and won't care if you hang one up every once and awhile. Maybe paint some and hang them in a tree/bush and fade/dull them to a color you like. Those old Diamond Shads have red eyes. Don't know why they stopped them. They work pretty good, I find those DS, a Cotton or Lewis in Chrome w/ blue back, Chrome w/ black back or Gold w/ black back work equally as well. On a cloudy or lower light situation I just go with a painted shad pattern over the chrome.

Academy had a pure chartreuse rattle trap style bait many years ago. I recently gave one away with my other cheaper baits. Yozuri makes a yellow one but has a darker top  and an Excalibur chartreuse shad(foxy momma?) I'll try to get a photo of the one I gave away.

Check out the Jackall TN on TW. A bit on the expensive side. However, the hooks are super sharp, stands up on bottom, super loud and can take a beating.

Or paint one of your old ones.  Piece of cake.

I have a Lucky Craft in a color I've always called Homer (chartreuse and lime green).

Go to Walmart.  Go to an aisle that you probably never enter, i.e. the fingernail polish aisle.   Don't think of it as fingernail polish.   Think of it as lots of different colors of small bottles of lure or jig paint.   Find  a chartreuse color that you like ( there will be more than one, trust me ).  The bottle of nail polish will have enough paint to cover a couple of baits, easy, and it is a tough, durable finish.   Now, take a couple of lipless cranks that you already own and paint them up.
