So what is the inner part now called? :)

But the outer part of most Easton aluminum poles is the pole, so what's
the smaller aluminum tube that is glued inside that slips into the
adjacent pole called?

Well, it all depends.  In the winter, it could take days to decide
whether to use 40W, 60W, 75W, 100W, 150W; whether to unscrew
counter-clockwise, or clockwise; incandescent, or a new low-energy
fluorescent; whether it's appropriate to have an audience watching for
bulb-changing carnage; if tethers to the ladder are appropriate or even
necessary; and whether or not to wear protective gear during the
changing procedure.  During the summer months, the bulb will be ignored
since we're too busy paddling during the day, and daylight hours are so
long we have no need for lightbulbs in the evening--besides, wintertime
is maintenance time for kayakers! 

Happy Paddling (or dreaming about paddling unfrozen water!),
