I poled out my 155% genoa last night with the spin pole, because I don't have a whisker pole, and I found the spin pole to be almost too long.

I've found the spin pole is too short for use as a whisker pole even when poling out a genny (150%). For a chute which is about 180% the clew will be in way too far to pull well I would think.
