Chesterfield's Jack Lester destroyed Lincoln with a first-half hat-trick. Lester was left unmarked to score early on and he soon added his second with a shot from inside the box.
He completed his hat-trick with a close-range shot, before Lincoln pulled a goal back when Dany N'Guessan beat two defenders and fired home.
Chesterfield hit a deserved fourth when Adam Rooney's flick was converted by Janos Kovacs, but Lincoln pulled back another with Hamza Bencherif's header.
