Tippets

OK, this question has been bugging me for a while so I want to know if anybody knows:

Why are we using for fly fishing tippet brands like Frog Hair, Rio, 3M/SA etc. and not the tippet/mono material like Stren, Maxima, Trilene, Sufix etc.?

Is there any rationale? I noticed that the fly fishing material is rated in "X" rather than "lbs." like the other stuff, but other than that?

Obviously, I never did any spin, cast or bait fishing with regular equipment...

Thanks, Karel.

Happy Holidays!
