Just be aware that vegetation blocking the signal between receiver and alarm makes a huge difference to range.

I think the new(ish) Fox Mini Micron X offer outstanding range (per dollar) value.
Last May I was fishing and things were very quiet. If I had decided to bring in two rods which were fishing in the margins, and if I had decided to leave the rod that had been cast as far out into the lake as possible before meeting a mate for lunch halfway between our swims, about 300m away, then I would have been surprised, almost mortified, yet impressed if the rod had gone off with a clear and loud tone from the receiver that would have been in my pocket, meaning I would have had to cycle back to my swim as fast as possible on my daughter's BMX that I had taken with me, only just avoiding a terrible accident with a lady, a Labrador, and a very long lead. I would have landed an ill-deserved 34lb carp if that had happened.
But one of the alarms has packed up since the above didn't happen.
