How to Deter Squirrels

I'm sure this subject has been dealt with ad nauseum on this and other sites, but maybe someone on here has a suggestion for me.

I have a tube feeder on a pole and the squirrel climbs the pole and shakes the feeder so the seed falls to the ground where he eats it. The feeder was here when we moved in and it originally had a metal baffle that was halfway up the pole and deterred the squirrels from climbing it. The metal thing that held the baffle rusted out and now we can't use the baffle. Is there anything we can do to the pole to keep the varmint from climbing it? DH thought about greasing it, but the metal is rough and rusty and probably the squirrel could still climb it.

Is there some kind of sticky tape that we could wrap around it? I am so tired of filling the feeder and having the seed disappear in no time! GRRRR!
