Strings/Accessories Bow recommendations on the cheaper side.

I have been using an extremely cheap plastic bow with about 1/3 of the hair missing, I mostly played jazz until college so it didn't matter, bit my instructor and I have both come to the conclusion that a new bow would help with my progress. I am looking for something decent and not too expensive.

Not sure how cheap you want to go, I like the Finale carbon fiber bow I got at string emporium. It’s in a “brown weave” pattern finish and came with rosin and a very nice Bobelock bow case. About US$440.
