Get Crustacean Mix in Fisch by opening Deep Tackle Boxes or catching random bait through the Merchant Rod’s passive. This Rare bait in Roblox provides luck bonuses for general fishing and for catches that specifically prefer it. Deep Tackle Boxes are the more targeted source because their loot pool contains just three bait types. You can earn those boxes through Bounty Tracker quests or fish for them in the Outer Deep. Choose your method based on whether you want to complete fish bounties or focus on catching crates.
Which Crustacean Mix farming method should you use?
Bounty Tracker quests are a practical starting point if you want a fixed box reward for completing a task. Outer Deep fishing gives you another way to collect boxes, while the Merchant Rod supplies random bait alongside your normal catches.
| Method | What you do | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Bounty Tracker quests | Complete a requested fish bounty | You must catch the fish requested by the quest |
| Outer Deep fishing | Target Deep Tackle Boxes, preferably with a Magnet Rod | Boxes are catches, so you still need to fish them up |
| Merchant Rod passive | Fish with the rod equipped | The passive selects random bait, not a specific type |
Ordinary fishing crates and direct merchant purchases do not supply Crustacean Mix. Check the crate’s name before opening a stack: you need a Deep Tackle Box for this bait’s dedicated loot table.
How to get Deep Tackle Boxes
Complete Bounty Tracker quests in Deep City
Find the Bounty Tracker in Deep City, beside a board facing the Lower Deep. Use your GPS to locate the NPC at X: 486, Y: -2255, Z: -11790.
Once you reach the NPC:
- Interact with the Bounty Tracker and take a fish bounty.
- Catch the fish requested by the task.
- Complete the bounty to receive five Deep Tackle Boxes.
Each completed fish bounty provides another batch. Choose this route when you want your fishing to work toward a defined reward instead of waiting for a crate catch.

Fish for boxes in the Outer Deep
Deep Tackle Boxes are found in the Outer Deep, within The Deep. They prefer Magnet bait and have no weather, time, or season preference, so you do not need to wait for a particular set of conditions to target them.
A Magnet Rod is the recommended setup for crate fishing. You can buy it from the merchant on Terrapin Island for 15,000 C$. Its crate-focused fishing lets you target boxes without spending Magnet bait.
If you keep using an ordinary rod, expect fish to remain your main catches, with boxes appearing as an occasional bonus. The Magnet Rod makes more sense when collecting bait crates is the purpose of your trip.
The box itself appears in the Outer Deep bestiary, but catching one is not required to complete that bestiary.
Open the boxes for Crustacean Mix
A Deep Tackle Box yields two to six bait from its loot pool. Crustacean Mix has the largest share of that pool, but opening a box can give you one of the other bait types instead.
| Bait | Listed drop chance |
|---|---|
| Crustacean Mix | 60% |
| Bio-Infused Coral | 30% |
| Luminous Flakes | 10% |
Treat the 60% figure as a chance, not a promise that a particular number of openings will produce Crustacean Mix. Keep the other drops for later fishing trips while you build the supply you need.

How the Merchant Rod method works
The Merchant Rod has a 50% chance to catch random bait alongside a fish. Crustacean Mix is included in that pool, while Limited Time Baits are excluded.
The passive’s activation chance is not the drop chance for Crustacean Mix itself. Even when the passive triggers, it still has to select this bait from the possible rewards. Use it as a way to collect extra bait during normal fishing, not as an equivalent to opening its dedicated crate.
Crustacean Mix stats and when to equip it
Crustacean Mix offers its largest bonuses through luck, with smaller boosts to lure speed and resilience. Check these values against what you need from your bait before using it on a catch that has a different preference.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Preferred Luck | 90% |
| Universal Luck | 65% |
| Resilience | 5% |
| Lure Speed | 15% |
You can use this bait beyond its preferred fish. If your supply is limited, save it for a target that specifically favors it, then match the location and preferred conditions listed below.

Which fish prefer Crustacean Mix?
Nine fish prefer Crustacean Mix. The table groups them by location so you can check nearby targets before moving to another fishing area. Weather, time, and season are preferences, not guarantees that a particular cast will catch the fish.
| Fish | Location | Weather | Time | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarf Pea Puffer | Skycrest | Rain | Day | Summer |
| Blackcap Basslet | Skycrest | Clear | Night | Summer |
| Formosa Seabass | Outer Deep | Clear | Day | Summer |
| Nkosi Pygmy Pipehorse | Outer Deep | Foggy | Night | Spring |
| Lepidion | Lower Deep | Clear | Day | Summer |
| Stout Blacksmelt | Lower Deep | Foggy | Day | Winter |
| Long-Barbel Snailfish | Gloomy Crevice | Clear | Night | Autumn |
| Longnose Spiny Eel | Gloomy Crevice | Rain | Night | Spring |
| Geode Grouper | Calm Zone | Clear | Day | Spring or Summer |
Plan your catches around conditions
Check the season before choosing a destination, then use the weather and time columns to narrow your target. Sharing a location does not mean two fish share the same preferred conditions, so staying in one area may still require waiting for a different fishing window.
Pick the fish missing from your bestiary first. Once its preferred conditions line up, equip Crustacean Mix and fish in the listed location. If your bait runs low, choose another bounty or return to crate fishing before continuing that target.
