The UCS website says that they were 5.20s 220 lbs test flex...
I've heard the number 10.3... but I don't know that its accurate

a 5.20, around 10.2 was Bubka's largest pole.
Back in the 80's, Miroslaw Chmara from Poland had a custom series of 5.35s topping out at a 9.6 or so. Those were big poles.

5.35/9.6 is disgusting huge.

When Toby jumped 600 at Modesto I think he was on a 510/12.6
