Braided line snarling help needed

I have a Penn 6500, not my first choice on and 11' foot plugging rod. I have 30# power pro loaded on the reel. About every 5th to 8th cast the line knots up while casting, obviously its knots while casting. I think it is because the spool is throwng the line towards the first eye more than it can handle. The first eye is 36" from the face of the spool and is a 40 mm eye. This is the only answer I can come up with. I have a shimano sustain on
an 8' foot rod and the first eye is 30 mm in size. It has 30# line on it and it works fines. The difference being is the spool on the shimano reel is much narrowing releasing a smaller loop of line towards the first eye.

I don't want to changelines because I love the extra distance and feel with the braid so I need any help or suggestions anyone feels like offering.
