I agree a 6 is a great rod for the bow..... but I fish it with a 4 weight and 5X tippet and still pick up 20"+ fish. You need to play and finesse the fish a bit more. Don't expect to make monster casts, though.
A 6 weight will let you get to fish further away, and bring them in faster.
I know several guys who fish the Bow with 3 weights.
