Pole

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Poles are a recurring weapon from the Final Fantasy Series, shown mostly on the Ivalice Alliance. It is not wielded by the same job in two games, but it is often used by light melee and mage jobs. Most poles are recurring, and the Whale Whisker is usually the strongest of the type.
