We have 2 feeders that have not had squirrels figure them out for several years. One has a baffle around the pole to which it is attached. I have to keep the trees nearby trimmed to prevent squirrels from jumping to it. I did have a a squirrel that was jumping at least 15 feet downward from a branch to land on it. I removed the branch and solved the problem.
The second has a cylinder built into the bottom, so that squirrels crawl up inside the cylinder. They cannot get to the outside of the cylinder to climb the rest of the way up to the feeder. After a while they don't even try that much. The top has a rounded cap, so that any squirrel that would jump down to it would slide right off. It is under a tree, but at least 10 feet below the nearest branch.
The most entertaining feeder is the one that starts to spin rapidly once the weight of a squirrel triggers it. I don't have one, but have seen videos of the squirrels being thrown away from the feeder.
I am sorry I don't remember the names of these feeders. I hope the descriptions helped.
