Newbie From Iowa

Hey everyone! I'm new here as you have probably already figured out ha : ) As of right now, i am awaiting my pole. I have been talking my boyfriend into getting me one for awhile now. I think i may be getting to him lol. I was wondering, what is the best, inexpensive pole that would be perfect for a beginner? Might i add, i am short (I'm 5ft 3in) i don't know if that matters at all but just in case. My price range would between $100-$250. Or more if i have to. Thanks in advance <3
