Set up your centrifugal brakes and cast control tension the same way as described in that thread and in addition, set your magnetic brakes to about 5 to start. If you start to backlash near the end of the cast, you can add more magnetic braking. Eventually, as the thumb gets "educated", you can reduce the magnetic down to 3, 2, or 1. After that, you still have your magnetic braking "in reserve" to handle varying conditions like wind.

Good luck!
