Squirrels attacking small bird's tube feeder?

I need a solution to stop the squirrels from climbing the thin iron Sheperd's pole .... after the small bird feeder. Any solutions? They climb the pole so easily and clean out the feed in no time flat. Thanks all for any suggestions.Squirrels attacking small bird's tube feeder?

Grease the pole?





The other option is some sort of baffle, typically a downward facing dish, cone or array of rods arrangement.





Placing the pole inside a larger plastic pipe may make it harder for them to climb, a really smooth surface may defeat them, as they can generally cling to anything with a texture, or anything they can get a grip around.
cover the ple with a smooth peice of plastic so when they tri to climb they slip.
