Spiked chains aren't implausible, they're used all the time quite effectively.

Ancient China: Yo-Yo's were basic blunt versions of spiked chains.
Medieval Times: Bolas's and Handle-free Flail's were spiked chains.
Kill Bill: Gogo used a spike chain on Kiddo.
Feudal Japan: Spiked Chains were a common weapon for Ninja Assassins.

They're hard to use, but they're a lot more common than you think.
