well this is where you learning skills come in! you need to tweak the params so that you can get it to stick to the pole. You might think "hey it's intersecting the pole I want to render...I'll put an invisible pole there to make it intersect and make it slightly larger... " etc.

As for the fields, I have no idea what you have set them to so I can't comment on that. But keep trying and post your results for us to see.
