    Well, your question should be how can I get it out. Not how can I get it out easily.

    What kind of snake and how big. Were you snaking through the overflow or through the drain.
    Do you have an access panel on the other side of the wall from th e tub drain?
    Is the drain and overflow metal or PVC?
