I do think they use a longer stick, yes. See here (http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4797) and here (http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=551).

in the budo international article on portugese stick fighting i saw them also use a stick which looked about 30inches long know anything about this?

See this site (http://www.ctv.es/USERS/kali.jkd/Palo%20Canario.htm) (in Portuguese but has two videos). The navigation is somewhat screwed up on that site unfortunately.
