A beastly-fat 15'6. it's basically a tree.

"White Whale"

Well...because it's huge and white i guess...

"White Monster"
16' 200 15.5 UCS
A monstrous UCS pole...

We had nicknames in highschool. mainly because we didn't have a "true" series of poles. Here are the ones I used:

"Ol' Yeller": 14' 170 Yellow Catapole. was also called "sweet butter" (pronounced Butta) because it was my bread and butter pole for 3 years.
"Captain America": 14'9 165 Red white and blue Altius.
"Sting": 13'6" 165 yellow and black spiral rocket. Looked like a yellow jacket.

We call or old altius pole captain America because of the red and blue. And we have an old Skype with a guy holding a lightning bolt so we call that Hercules. We just bought two new 14'6" 145 and 150 so we call those the twins.

We have a pole at my college we call "The Nutcracker", the name speaks for itself...
14' 155 UCS
Personally it's a pole I enjoy jumping on. It's soft and easy to jump on.
