about us
John & Gillian Buckley make up the team at Straight Up Rod Racks. The drive to create the business came about when a friend said to us "you'll never sell those". Of course, we had to prove him wrong and have gone on from selling our racks on TradeMe to the part time business that it is today, selling direct through our website to hundreds of satisfied customers.
As every rack is different and tailored to suit your rod & reel collection, we have found it best to continue offering our racks for sale direct through our website rather than through the tackle stores. Selling direct also saves you money.
We do realise that for some people it can feel like a big risk to pay for an item sight unseen and wait for its delivery, so we thought we'd introduce ourselves and put your mind at rest.
John is the main rack builder. He is also a farm fencing contractor, builder and occasional farm contractor. When he is not working, he can be found fishing around Doubtless Bay.
Gillian looks after the administration and timber tattooing, works part time at Taipa Tackle and part time as an artist https://www.gillianbuckleyartist.com. She also enjoys the occasional fishing excursion.
