That's hilarious because my friend put braid on his BG and took it to a lake, on his 9th cast got a horrible wind knot and he quit fishing that day. You get a wind knot on braid and it's pretty much over. I'm sure he would have loved this info before that trip.
Sounds like you are closing the bail by turning the handle. Only way you will get wind knots on a spinning reel. Instead, close bail by hand, making sure the line is tight when you do.
These Daiwa BG's are by far the best reels in this price range for saltwater. Penn and Shimano can't compete with the BG at this price point.
Edit: I shouldn't say that is the only way to get wind knots. Incorrect setup (line, rod power/action, and lire weight), casting technique, etc. are other causes of wind knots.

Lots of discussion has been had about these BG reels and wind knots. I close the bail with my hand while pulling the line tight. I use the right rods and certainly know how to cast. It just has Weird line lay. It was even mentioned by a few guys on Saltstrong that they are more wind knot prone. Shimanos never have issues. Their line lay is much better. I can cast all day long and never get a wind knot with any of my Shimanos. Maybe my BG's were defective.
