Default plastic piece from snake stuck in tub drain

As this story will illustrate, I am not handiest man on the block.. My
bathtub on the second floor has been slow to drain, so I asked to
borrow my father-in-law's drain snake. As I sent it down the drain, a
plastic piece that goes over the snake (I think it acts like a set
screw?) went down the drain too. The snake is down the drain about 2
1/ 2 feet and moves (both up and down), but I cannot get it out. It
feels like the plastic piece is hitting near where the drain tailpiece
hits the overflow pipe. Any suggestions? Time to call a plumber or
drain specialist?

Thanks!
