Braid "wind knots"

Fellow up here about to hang himself with power pro. He fishes alot (2 to 3 times a day, 1 to 2 hrs each time, almost everyday), and knows what he's doing, but can't figure this one out. The strange kicker is that the knot consistently appears about 20 ft, plus or minus 2 ft, from the end of his line.

Using a smaller Penn slammer, I think a 360, with an 8 ft rod. He is getting the small looped wind knot maybe once every 1 to 2 days, sometimes it can be easily pulled out, others succumb to the knife.

We've gone over too much line on the spool, tension on the line when starting the retrieve, and the weather, and haven't resolved it yet.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
