Crustacean Mix is a Rare bait in Fisch, the fishing game on Roblox, and you can't get it from regular fishing crates or the merchant. The reliable route is opening Deep Tackle Boxes, which contain Crustacean Mix 60% of the time. You can earn those boxes by completing fish bounties for the Bounty Tracker in Deep City, or by fishing them up in the Outer Deep.
| Method | Chance | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Tackle Boxes from Bounty Tracker bounties | 60% chance of Crustacean Mix per box | Available |
| Deep Tackle Boxes fished up in the Outer Deep | 60% chance of Crustacean Mix per box | Available |
| Merchant Rod passive | 50% chance of random bait | Unobtainable, only if you already own one |
Earn Deep Tackle Boxes From the Bounty Tracker in Deep City
The Bounty Tracker is the most dependable way to get boxes, since every completed fish bounty pays out a set number of them. Getting started takes three steps:
- Travel to Deep City and find the Bounty Tracker NPC standing next to the board that faces the Lower Deep.
- Talk to the NPC and take on one of its fish bounties.
- Complete the bounty to receive your Deep Tackle Boxes.
A completed bounty gives you a batch of boxes to open at once, which makes it the most practical place to start.
Open Deep Tackle Boxes to Find Crustacean Mix
Opening a box is where the bait actually drops. Each box has a 60% chance of containing Crustacean Mix. Because that's a chance rather than a guarantee, some boxes won't give you the bait, so it's worth opening every box you collect.
Fish for Deep Tackle Boxes in the Outer Deep With a Magnet Rod
You don't need bounties to get boxes. Deep Tackle Boxes can also be fished up in the Outer Deep, and they prefer Magnet bait, so using it improves your chances of hooking one. A Magnet Rod can take the place of Magnet bait when you're fishing for boxes, which saves you from using up your bait.
A regular rod will mostly catch fish, with boxes only showing up occasionally. That makes the Magnet Rod the easier way to target them, so take one to the Outer Deep and keep fishing in that area to pick up boxes.
Use the Merchant Rod's Passive If You Already Own One
The Merchant Rod has a passive that gives a 50% chance to catch random bait, and Crustacean Mix is one of the baits it can pull up. The rod is marked unobtainable, so this route only helps if you already have one. Because the catch is random, it's less dependable than the box routes, so treat it as a bonus rather than a plan.
What the Crustacean Mix Bait Stats Do
Crustacean Mix has four stats:
| Image | Preferred Luck | Universal Luck | Lure Speed | Resilience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 90% | 65% | 15% | 5% |
Preferred Luck is the largest of the four, and it's the stat that makes the bait useful for targeting specific catches. Universal Luck sits at 65%, while Lure Speed and Resilience are the smaller numbers at 15% and 5%. For a Rare bait, those stats make it a solid choice for casual fishing.
Fish That Prefer Crustacean Mix Bait in Fisch
Nine fish prefer Crustacean Mix, and each one has a preferred weather, time of day, and season. You can use the bait on other fish, but you'll fare better when you match those conditions for the nine that prefer it. If you're filling out the Deep section of your bestiary, these are the fish this bait is meant for.
