How do I remove hair clog from THIS old tub drain?

Question

I live in this older house built in 1958 with a old-school porcelain steel bath tub with an old-school drain with a removable rubber plug. I can't run a barb down to the hair clog through the singular small hole inside the drain plug receptacle. Do I have to remove the plug receptacle from the tub to get at the clog? If so, what tool do I need?  Thanks in advance.

You are looking at a part called a drain shoe. Your best solution would be to remove it and replace with a more modern one that incorporates a pop up or twist type stopper. Then you'll be able to access the clog and any that appear in the future.
