Anyone know if this model is still In production and if so where to find it? 

Not anymore. But google "just for fishing" you can find a low ratio one.

No longer in production.  That model was discontinued in 2017, replaced by the Alphas CT SV.  Used ones abound on eBay, plus you can search the used sections of the JDM tackle shops.

This is an excellent reel and they often pop up at a good price. I’ve got a few and love mine

Any thoughts on how the Alphas CT SV compares?  Thx

The Alphas CT has a 30mm spool that starts up lightning fast, probably one of the best pitching reels out there, great for baits in the 1/8-3/8 range.  It's essentially the poor man's Steez CT in a sense, as both use the same spool.  The SV105 uses a 33mm spool, and while it's no slouch, I find it better for baits in the 3/16 to 1/2 range.  I do find the CT a bit over braked for distance casting, but that can be mitigated with a TD-Z Type R inductor spring.
