Light line will cut into itself on a baitcaster reel. It is the reason that the bass professionals use such heavy line as it sits nicer on a reel and they often are using a bit lighter lures and just doing short flip casts which don't come off nice when the light line is dug into reel.
Some guys that use lighter lines will even pull off as much line as they use then put a piece of electrical tape and rewind line on just to minimize how far the line will cut in.
As I said in previous post I would never go under 15 lb braid on a baitcaster. 20 to 30 is better too.
Here is a bass pro's comments on braid. Easy to find many examples of this.

I use Spiderwire braid for about 50 percent of my bass fishing and carry it in three line sizes — 10-, 50- and 65-pound test. I use the 10-pound Spiderwire on spinning tackle and the heavier sizes on casting gear.

Another article to help pick line size. 30 lb braid is the minimum they recommend that I saw(they prefer to use fluoro for the finesse lures).
