They hate to have their feet greased or you can use roofing tar in the caulking gun. Either should work just fine for you. That's how I solved the same problem.

Crafty indeed are these pesky varmints! You can try placing a speaker near your feeder, and when you see a squirrel nearby, blast him with some hard rock. WARNING...this will only work a few times, once they figure out it doesn't hurt them, they'll be right back to their old tricks. Good luck!!!

Something similar could be used against the squirrels. We have a vertical post with birdfeeder at the top. Squirrels used to climb the pole until I put an empty apple juice can on the pole. They can't reach around enough of the can to get a proper grip. Our other bird feeder is on the clothesline. We keep it about 15 feet from the house and about 12 feet from the ground. They haven't figured a way to climb to that one yet. The apple juice can didn't stop a black bear, he just pushed the whole thing down. It also sat underneath the clothesline feeder and ate seeds from the ground... Ships have conical shape things on their ropes to keep rats from climbing aboard.
