Another thing, with the 110 jib, it should not be necessary to extend the pole more than about 12 ft.
With the 150/155, extend the pole almost all the way. In heavier air with the 150/155, I recommend stopping about 1-2" short of fully extended at each section to lessen the chance of bending damage at the joints.

I have only had need of a topping lift while in very light air with a 2 - 3 foot chop - a lot of flapping and bouncing that spills what wind there is. Another aspect of slow downwind is that there is virtually no perceived air movement since the apparent wind speed is the true speed minus boat speed.
