graphite reel seats

I found a rod that I like but am worried about the reel seat so I haven't bought it yet.
It is made of graphite and has a thin layer of metal around the hoods.

The reels I use are 6/0 Senators with 60# mono.
I have heard about graphite reels like Tritons breaking when using 50#.

* Is there a chance a graphite reel seat might break while fighting a fish too?
* Can the rod clamp damage the graphite?

Thanks.

For a 6/0 a graphite reel seat is plenty big although i would much rather have a metal reel seat on any reel 12/0 or bigger in size.Fuji is the standard in the industry.
