welcome billie
my advise (for what its worth)is that if you are serious about fishing go as expensive as you can afford most tackle shops will do a starter kit( so can start from arround £30 if you wanted, but if you get hooked you will want too upgrade sooner than you think) or they will at least match a rod and reel together for you, adds in the back of papers can be a cheap option but take someone who knows about tackle with you if you go this route so as you dont get rubbish
next is wether fixed spool or multiplier? i'll leave that too you
there have been other such threads on here do a search and you should find loads of ideas
